The Best Anti Aging Foods..Bon Apetite For a Longer, Healthier Life
The Best Anti Aging Foods
Here are some excellent anti aging foods that you can quickly introduce or adjust into your daily diet.
Eating these foods on a regular basis, it is believed that you can help combat both your appearance of aging, and also the actual effects that 'old father time' has put upon your bones, muscle and skin.The foods that I am going to reveal are nothing out of the ordinary, in fact they can be purchased at any local grocery store very easily. So, let's go and discover what foods can help you beat back the years.
Foods To Slow Down Aging
To kick-start your day, breakfast should start with.. Watermelon Try and include ripe, red watermelons, and the reason for this is that it is rich in lycopene and beta-carotene.
Lycopene
is an
antioxidant
that can help to
fight free radicals
and studies have shown that it can provide up to 33% more protection against sunburn. As we know, sunburn is a main cause of
skin aging.
The beta-carotene will help to repair skin cells too. So, a good start to the day!
Fish is next up on the
anti aging foods menu.
Plump for oily fish such as herring, salmon and fresh tuna, and the reson for this is that they are high in Omega 3 fatty acids. Omegas 3's have been proven to help alleviate some of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Also, they can help to preserve eye health and maintain levels of healthy fat within the skin that stop it from becoming brittle.
Be a Smoothie! Now this is where you can get really creative and mix in just about any healthy nutritious food that will give you an enormous antioxidant and anti aging boost. Check out
how to make a healthy smoothie.
Try a tasty
pomegranate and blueberry smoothie.
Or maybe a
berry smoothie
Try and include a bunch of berries in the smoothie. Not sure what ones to use?
Check out my good berry guide.
Avocado One of my most favorite snacks, or meals is avocado and low-fat plain cottage cheese. Avocados are a great way to smooth out the wrinkles. They are one of the best anti aging skin foods. Avocado's can be easily mixed with salads or eaten on their own, just scoop out the flesh..and enjoy!
So, what will you be getting in an avocado? Potassium for starters, this will help reduce the risk of blood pressure problems and fluid retention.
Also
Vitamin E,
as we all know is brilliant in helping maintain skin health. In addition you will be consuming oleic acid. This is a healthy fat that will boost the body's good cholesterol levels.
Seeds of Life Try and snack on seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower. They are packed with vitamin E, which will help to neutralize potentially damaging free radicals, known to speed up the aging process. Your skin is in the firing line from free radical damage, so regularly snacking on these seeds will provide protection for your skin cells.
Garlic
Now there are two types of garlic. The standard white type..and then there is
black garlic
(pictured). Adding any of them to your food will knock a few years off your looks. Garlic is truly amazing, the health benefits are many. It is known to help fend off age-related chronic illness such as heart disease, it will also rejuvenate other body parts too. Let's not forget the powerful antioxidant properties of garlic, this will, of course, combat the effects of aging, counter the formation of cataracts, raise energy levels and rejuvenate skin.

Broccoli
Now, I know there are many of you out there that are not really partialled to this amazing vegetable. However it truly is a super-food. It has taken me many years of hard begging for my kids to finally accept broccoli, but if you have never eaten it, then this is what you are missing...
Studies in the US have found that an element within broccoli, called sulforaphane, helps ward off the effects time can have on your body.
Dr Andre Nel, the study author, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in 2008 this statement "Our study shows that a chemical present in broccoli is capable of stimulating a wide range of antioxidant defence pathways and may be able to interfere with the age-related decline in immune function."
These foods, in my opinion, are probably the best anti aging foods that are simple to introduce in your diet and are easily available. There are many other powerful antioxidant anti aging foods not mentioned here, however I will be adding more from time to time, so keep checking back or follow all updates at my
