7 Foods to Keep You Young
1.) Olive oil.
Olive oil contains polyphenols, which is a powerful antioxidant and may be able to help prevent age-related diseases. We could all use some help!!!!
2.) Yogurt.
Yogurt is rich in calcium, which helps stave off osteoporosis and it contains "good bacteria" that helps maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness.
3.) Fish.
Fish is an abundant source of omega-3 fats, which help prevent cholesterol buildup in arteries against abnormal heart rhythms.
4.) Chocolate.
Drinking beverages with a generous proportion of cocoa, which is unusually rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. The best thing coming from this is that it helps in the maintaining of youthful blood vessels which helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.
5.) Nuts.
Those who eat nuts gain, on average, an extra two and a half years to their life. Nuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats, so they offer benefits similar those associated with olive oil. They're also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, including antioxidants.
6.) Wine.
Drinking alcohol in moderation protects against heart disease, diabetes and age-related memory loss. Any kind of alcohol beverage seems to provide such benefits, but red wine contains resveratrol, a compound that likely contributes to its benefits- and, according to animal studies, may activate genes that slow cellular aging.
7.) Blueberries.
Compounds in blueberries (and other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated with age-related deficits in memory and motor function. (In other words the blueberries lesson the inflammation and oxidative damage.)
