If you want to live longer, all you have to do is eating healthy food!
Food of Longevity:
help reduce death from heart disease and cancer. Recent research shows that heart-attack
survivors on a Mediterranean diet had half the death rates of those on an
ordinary low-fat diet. Olive oil is also high in antioxidant activity.
Garlic .. German
researchers have found that garlic is packed with antioxidants known to help
fend off cancer, heart disease, all-over aging, and prolong cancer survival
time. Let crushed garlic "rest" for about 10 minutes before cooking
to preserve disease-fighting agents.
Spinach .. Second among vegetables only to garlic in
antioxidant capacity and is also rich in folic acid, which helps fight cancer,
heart disease and mental disorders. New University of Kentucky
research shows folic acid may help prevent Alzheimer's disease. Eat both raw
and steamed for best benefit.
Whole grains .. A
University of Minnesota study suggests the more whole
grains you eat, the lower your odds of death by 15%. Whole grains contain
anticancer agents and help stabilize blood sugar and insulin, which may promote
longevity. Whole-grain "dark" breads, cereals such as All Bran, and
"old fashioned" oatmeal are an excellent source.
Salmon , and other fatty fish. Contains high amounts
of omega-3 fat that performs miracles throughout the body, fighting virtually
every chronic disease known. Without it, your brain can't think, your heart can't
beat, your arteries clog, and joints become inflamed. You need one ounce a day,
or two servings of salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring or tuna per week.
Nuts .. A Harvard
University study found
that eating more than 5
ounces a week can cut heart-attack deaths in women by
40% and help prevent deadly irregular heart beats in men. Almonds and walnuts
lower blood cholesterol. Most of the fat in nuts is the good-type
monounsaturated and/or omega-3. Unsalted nuts are best.
Blueberries .. High in antioxidants, Tufts University
researchers say a half-cup of blueberries a day can retard aging and can block
brain changes leading to decline and even reverse failing memory.
Tea .. Green or black tea has equal antioxidant
benefit. Harvard researchers found that one cup a day can cut heart disease
risk in half, whilst Tufts
University shows that
made from loose tea or tea bags, instant or bottled tea has little effect.
Food of Longevity:
- Tomatoes .. A major source of the antioxidant lycopene that reduces the risk
of cancer by 40% -- notably prostate, lung and stomach cancers -- and
increases cancer survival. Tomato eaters function better mentally in old
age and suffer half as much heart disease. Concentrated tomato sauces have
5 times more lycopene than fresh tomatoes, and canned tomatoes have three
times more than fresh.
