FIVE SUPER FOODS THAT SLOW DOWN AGING
Ageing is a natural phenomenon which everyone has to go through,
but consuming dark chocolates or blueberries can help slow down the process
with better results
A list of five super food
that can actually make a difference to our body system.
OLIVE
OIL-It is a good source of MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids) and
omega 3. A serving of olive oil will give you the daily dose of healthy fats.
Cooking in olive oil damages the structure of olive oil and it converts it into
a saturated fat. Olive oil is also excellent source of polyphenols which are
strong antioxidants which are needed to balance the free radicals.
YOGURT-It is
an excellent source of protein and calcium. It helps us to prevent from muscle
and bone loss. Also it provides us with billions of good bacteria in our
stomach. These bacteria help us to break down our food and also help us to get
rid of toxins. Make sure to have at least two servings of yoghurt, for best
results take it at room temperature.
BROCCOLI-:
Broccoli is a good source of Vitamin C and also dietary fibers. It belongs to
the edible green plant in the cabbage family. It is rich in beta carotene and
selenium. These ingredients make it a perfect super food.
DARK
CHOCOLATE-: Dark chocolate with high cocoa content can actually be very
beneficial. It contains minerals like iron, copper, magnesium, manganese,
potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium. It is also an excellent source of
antioxidants which will help us prevent the damage done by free radicals. Cocoa
beans, from which chocolate is made, have a higher antioxidant capacity than
any other food, and the high concentration of antioxidant flavanols in cocoa
beans helps reduce inflammation of the skin caused by exposure to UV light.
RED
WINE-Red wine if taken in moderation is an excellent anti-ageing
drink. Red wine contains a compound called resveratrol, which contributes to a
lot of health benefit. White wine doesn’t have as much resveratrol as red wine
because resveratrol is found primarily in the grape skins. Some researchers
have shown red wine to slow down the cellular ageing. If taken in moderation it
is really helpful. The antioxidants and nutrients in red wine can help prevent
heart disease by protecting the arteries and the lining of blood vessels. Males
can have two glasses of wine per week and females can have one glass wine per
week.
