AntiAging Diet

Eating Right to Stay Looking Young

After being reminded that eating breakfast keeps you healthier, I wanted to share experiences on how to eat to stay beautiful and even healthier.  I call it an antiaging diet.

We all know that we should eat healthy, get enough sleep and always wear your seatbelt for a longer life.  Now you have the opportunity to go the extra step and try an antiaging diet to help you live longer.

Why an AntiAging Diet?

People are living longer over the last century. Many physicians believe that length of life is important; an antiaging diet can help with the quality of that extended span.

The body is made up of billions of cells, each with the ability to replicate itself when it dies. Cells are constantly dying and regenerating but the quality of the new cells is dependent on the quality of the nutritional values they draw from to be born. An antiaging diet can help supply the proper nutrition to make new cells even stronger than the dead ones.

Eating the Right Quantities

Most recommendations for an antiaging diet encourage the intake of saturated fats be about ten percent of the total energy, even though the American Heart Association suggests about 30 percent. This would be about triple the amount eaten by groups with the lowest frequency of heart disease.

A major part of suggested antiaging diets involve eating less and exercising more, and consuming less high calorie junk food and even a lot of fast foods. Some vegetarians insist that by avoiding eating animal fat has a great benefit to slow the aging process and is an essential part of any antiaging diet.

Certain Foods Blamed For Faster Aging

It has often been said that "you are what you eat" but where aging is concerned, eating foods with loads of preservatives, may have the opposite affect. Many people are interested in antiaging and food play a key role in that quest.

Among the consumables said to cause cell degeneration, meaning the replicated cells are weaker than the original cells, are those with high levels of carbohydrates. Others include sugar, chocolate, preserved meat, chips, French fries and soy products, among many more. An antiaging diet also looks at foods with a high concentration of heavy metals, which is thought to speed the aging process.

Processed foods, artificial coloring, deep fried foods and monosodium glutamates (MSG) only add speed to the process; with many of those with bad nutrition sometimes look older than they really are.

Some Foods Slow Down Aging

Food such as raw nuts, green leafy vegetables, seeds, seaweed, barley greens and olive oil are said to help with regeneration, which is when replicated cells are stronger than the dead ones being replaced. An antiaging diet is also high on antioxidants, foods with omega 3 fatty acids and fruit and vegetables. Since, however, the total intake of food for this type diet will be lower, vitamin supplements are recommended.

Additionally, with today's farming techniques, not all grown products contain the natural minerals and supplements of B vitamins, Vitamin A and C as well as folic acid are often needed to add to the lowered amounts in food. 

Using organic vegetables where available is recommended in an antiaging diet.  There are less chemical residues and often there are more minerals and vitamins.

Easy Step When Eating ANY Food

Whatever food you ultimately choose, chew your food well.  Most people don't chew their food making it much harder to digest.  Additionally, by taking the time to chew your food well, you hopefully will relax more, lessening your stress as an added benefit.
