Foods That Help With Anti-Aging

The fountain of youth… everyone is in search of it! What you may not realize is that part of the fountain of youth is found at your local grocery store.

I say ‘part of’ because the other part is found in your activities and exercise.

Proper eating and exercise will add years to your life and life to your years. There are many foods that you may not consider, but hands down they are some of the best anti-aging foods around.

1. Avocado – In a lab experiment, the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry reported that avocado (actually a fruit—did you know?) contained enough lutein to stop cancer growth.
2. Figs – contain more polyphenols than tea or red wine. Loaded with iron which helps to chase away anemia and fatigue.
3. Acai Berry – Offers an insane amount of antioxidants that assist in keeping us healthy and young-looking.
4. French lentils – High in fiber and they are great if you are looking for a meat substitute. They assist in regulating blood sugar.
5. Arctic char – similar to Salmon, but milder in taste. It is a high protein source packed with Omega-3 fatty acids. Great for the prevention of cancers.
6. Guava – A fruit that is a great source of potassium which keeps blood pressure in check. Also rich in antioxidants.

Get creative with your foods.

Think about trying new things and incorporating them into your diet.

Your taste buds might surprise you by begging for more.

Think about eating guava instead of a banana—both are high in potassium.

Or eat lentils instead of meat as your protein source.

Eating doesn’t have to be mundane and when you eat properly you will feel and look younger.
