10 Most Effective Anti Aging Foods

[bohica]

Probably most of us wish we could stop the clock on the aging process. Technology is getting better day by day but scientists still haven’t found the key to keeping us forever young. As the years passed, the body’s machinery begins to function a little less smoothly and we get ill more easily. But there are certain anti aging foods that can help counteract the negative effects aging has on the body. You won’t get younger or you won’t stop getting older but it is a healthier way to get older.

10 – Whole meal pasta and rice



Complex carbohydrates provide a consistent supply of energy throughout the day and should make up the bulk of your diet. Wholemeal pasta is an excellent complex carbohydrate. It is high in fibre and contains twice the amount of iron as normal pasta. Brown rice is another recommended complex carbohydrate, which is high in fibre and B vitamins.

09 – Cruciferous vegetables



The family of Cruciferous vegetables includes cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, turnip, brussels sprouts, radish and watercress. Cruciferous vegetables assist the body in its fight against toxins and cancer. You should try to consume at least 115g/40z of these vegetables on a daily basis. If possible, eat them row or very lightly cooked so that the important enzymes remain intact.

08 – Garlic



Eating a clove of garlic a day helps to protect the body against cancer and heart disease. The cardioprotective effects of garlic are well recorded. One 1994 study in Iowa, USA, of 41,837 women between the age of 55 and 69 suggested that women who ate a clove of garlic at least once a week were 50 percent less likely to develop colon cancer. Another study at Tasgore Medical college in India suggested that garlic reduced cholesterol levels and assisted blood thinning more effectively than aspirin, thus helping to reduce the risk of heart disease.

07 – Watermelon



Both the flesh and seeds of the watermelon are nutritious so try blending them together in a food processor and drinking as a juice. The flesh contain vitamin A, B and C ; the seeds contain selenium, essential fats, zinc and vitamin E, all of which help against free radical damage and aging.

Again, like the post of ladyvirus, you don't find a single meat or animal by-products, proving only that we are not made to eat another creature with a face.

nice thread. but saw documentary on aging on Solar and they said to be able to get the anti-aging effects of certain vegetables you need to eat more than the recommended serving size. or maybe they were just saying this because they are selling "anti-aging" pills.
