HEALTHY AGING
You already know that eating nutritious foods can help you stay healthy, but what you eat can also make a difference on how you age, from the inside out. Making wise decisions about what you eat as you get older is very important. Aging can take a toll on many parts of our body including eyes, bones, skin, heart, and mind.
Fatty Fish
Omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in fish oils offer many anti-aging benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids and are vital for normal metabolism. They protect your heart and reduce your risk of stroke. Studies also suggest that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of age related dementia.[1] Eat one to two servings a week of fatty fish such as salmon or tuna.
Brazil Nut
Constipation is common at all ages, but as we age we tend to be more susceptible. Adding brazil nuts to your diet may provide much needed relief. Brazil nuts are high in selenium and fiber which help get things moving.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals and many other anti-aging phytonutrients. These phytonutrients will help to boost your energy, ward off the signs of aging and may even reverse age-related brain decline.
