What You Need To Know About Antiaging NutrientsFruits And Veggies If you were hoping that deep dish pizza and ice cream contained masses of antiaging nutrients, sorry to disappoint you. There are many sound medical reasons for having a healthy, balanced diet low in protein and high in fiber. This is better for your heart health, keeps your cholesterol low and greatly reduces your risk of developing Type II Diabetes. But fresh fruits and vegetables also contain antiaging nutrients. These antiaging nutrient-rich foods include cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, kale, watercress, Brussels sprouts and radishes. They are loaded with anticarcinogens, thought to help the body resist developing many kinds of cancer. Melatonin is also thought to be one of the best antiaging nutrients around. Also, taking small melatonin supplements capsules can help cure jet lag. Don't over do melatonin supplements - they cause incredibly vivid nightmares. You can get all of the melatonin you need from easy to get fresh foods like bananas, tomatoes and corn. Another key antiaging nutrient is magnesium, thought to help you retain memory and helps the body be less resistant to both asthma and heart disease. You can take supplements, but it is safer and more economical to eat magnesium rich foods like avocadoes, dark green vegetables and bananas. Help Them Do Their Job Antiaging nutrients work best for you when you offer the least resistance to their effects. If you smoke or drink alcohol excessively, then you are basically countering their affects. You also need to exercise regularly and keep a healthy weight. You need to eat less junk food and more real food. Water and foods rich in fiber not only help keep you healthy, they give you a full feeling in your belly. Another good thing you can do to help your body not prematurely age is to cut down on meat. You don't have to cut it all out, but meat is an incredibly rich treasure trove of calories that we only need a little bit each day in order to stay healthy. A portion size should only be as big as a deck of cards. |
