We are all living longer than ever
before and our expectations about how we want to look and feel are higher than
ever. Anti Aging foods can help us stay agile, fit, healthy, more creative,
happier and more youthful!
The secret to staying healthy has
always been a good diet but we can do more?
By avoiding processed foods, sugar,
salt and fats and limiting alcohol we can begin to reduce the risk of disease
and weight gain. But what about maintaining energy levels and feeling fit and
active? We want to have good eyesight, healthy skin and hair and a better
memory. The good news is that by choosing anti aging foods we can almost turn
back the clock to make us look better and feel younger!
Anti aging foods are fresh and natural
and are best eaten raw or cooked in a way that will preserve their life
enhancing nutrients. We have to begin taking notice of our body's signals. How
do we feel after a 4 course meal with fatty sauces and lots of carbohydrates
followed by a sticky dessert and a couple of glasses of wine? The answer is
probably tired and looking for a place to have a little snooze. We have to wake
up and realize that eating nature's super foods can keep us younger and more
energetic for longer! Some fun exercise every day and a diet planned around the
super foods below will stave off, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and
arthritis. Anti aging foods boost energy, improve skin and hair and enhance
mental performance.
Begin right now with..
Fruits: In every color and shape with amazing tastes and aromas.
They are packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients to protect skin,
eyes, bones and the immune system.
Vegetables and Salad: From dark green broccoli to delicate salad leaves these
are powerful antioxidants with a host of vitamins and minerals. The best
insurance against heart disease and a mighty boost for the immune system. May
even help ward off cancer.
Pulses, Peas, Beans and Lentils: A perfect balance of proteins and complex carbohydrates
loaded with fibre which lowers cholesterol plus B vitamins, Magnesium, Zinc and
Iron.
Nuts and Seeds: Fabulous Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils protect your heart and
improve immunity. Great for the skin too! If you don't like fish eat nuts and
seeds instead.
Whole Grains: Brown rice and pasta, rye bread and oats are delicious and
loaded with fiber. Who would want to eat a fluffy white bread when you can have
a whole grain bread with crunchy seeds on the top?
Good Fats and Oil: Olive oil and other cold pressed oils provide essential
antioxidant protection.
Fish: All fish but especially the oily kind are perfect anti
aging foods. Salmon, sardines, tuna and herring are rich in omega-3 oils.
Essential fatty acids that boost the immune system and are often called brain
foods!
Lean meat: Chicken, turkey and game are perfect low-fat proteins
essential for cell repair.
Cheese and Milk: These are proteins with a higher fat content and should be
kept to a minimum. Natural yogurt is a good choice.

think about food?
We cannot stay young forever but we
can make 70 the new 50 and enjoy every minute of our healthy, active lifestyle!
