Anti Aging Foods
I
am a firm believer that the first and foremost of any anti aging regiment
should be working from the insides out. Researchers in search for the
fountain of youth keep coming back to one fact: you are what you eat. What you eat has a tremendous impact not only on your health but also on
your life span. Why would you put a nice fresh coat of paint on your house
if it is infested with termites? It may look good for a short time but if
the underlying foundation will not support it then it will not last long.
Anti-aging foods are known to give you better endurance, prolong your
lifespan, obtain a better quality of sleep, feel vital and energetic, and
they can promote a sense of calmness and well being. You get quite a few
advantages when you consume anti-aging foods, and you should remember that
anti-aging is not an illness in fact many healthcare professionals do not
consider the aging process natural and than it can be avoided.
Anti aging foods can reduce the effects of aging and in some cases ever
reverse the damaged to your body caused by a stressful life style.
Anti-aging foods can help all of the bodies' functions by giving blood
formation a boost and helping to rebuild damaged tissues.
Some of the more notable anti-aging foods are fish, avocado, berries,
carrots, nuts, whole meal pasta as well as brown rice, and finally, drinking
plenty of water to detoxify as well as keep the skin smooth. Including these
anti-aging foods in your diet on a regular basis will soon show positive
results.
Fish oil contains omega 3 and fatty acids, which have been shown to
stimulate the brain and increase memory and mental awareness.
Avocado oil can also be used as a skin moisturizer. Keeping your skin
properly moisturized is the best way to make sure it does not age
prematurely.
Blueberries and Blackberries contain a large quantity of antioxidants, which
may help reduce the effect age related memory problems. They contain a
chemical called anthocyanins which are very powerful antioxidants.
Vitamin A deficiency may increase the risk of cancers of the lung, larynx,
bladder, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum and prostate. Carrots are a good
source of natural Vitamin A.
Phytosterols is found in flax seed and peanuts, which are suggested to help
lower serum cholesterol.
All of the different Vitamin Bs taken together as B-Complex work together as
a team to perform vital biological processes, such as energy production and
efficient metabolic function. Vitamin B boost energy levels and help fight
fatigue.
Bananas have long been recognized for their antacid effects that protect
against stomach ulcers and ulcer damage. Bananas can help improve your
body's ability to absorb calcium. Women eating bananas four to six times a
week halved their risk of developing kidney cancer.
Cranberry Juice may also help prevent kidney and bladder infections. If you
are taking COUMADIN then check with your doctor before using cranberry.
Studies of the Greenland Eskimos lack of heart attacks have show that Eico-Sapentaenoic
Acid (EPA) lowers blood cholesterol considerably, even more than
polyunsaturated fat does. It also triggers a major drop in triglycerides.
Salmon Oil is one of the best known sources of natural EPA.
Flavonoids are the brightly colored pigments found in most fruits and
vegetables. When consumed, they have antioxidant properties and have been
associated with improved lung junction.
Eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower you risk of age-related
macular degeneration, the primary cause of vision loss in older adults.
Garlic can counteract the usual result of high fats in the diet and to help
reduce high blood pressure.
Green tea extract contains natural antioxidant compounds know as polyphenols
useful in fighting tumors as well as helping prevent and treat rheumatoid
arthritis.
Oat Bran helps to regulate blood glucose levels, aids in lowering
cholesterol, and helps in the removal of toxins.
Rosemary stimulated blood circulation and the nervous system and enhances
memory and concentration. The ancient Greeks called it the Herb of Memory
and they wore a stalk in their hair to increase memory.
A 2006 article in the Journal of American Medical Association suggested that
by periodically restricting our caloric intake to as little as 890 calories
a day, or fasting, resulted in a decrease in insulin levels and body
temperatures, another two biomarkers of longevity. Restricting calories
helps to eliminate the free radicals by burning off more calories than you
take in thus reducing the amount of fat stored in the human body. Skipping a
meal here and there from an evolutionary point of view would be beneficial.
The human body is used to going days without eating anything but today we
have constant access to food and we are taking in calories all day long.
If you just feel that you need vitamins, supplements or herbs to fight the
aging process then find a good health care professional prior to starting
any type of home treatment.
