Here are five meals that can help you reduce the aging process:
Carrots
They contain beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that protects the body’s cells and DNA from free radicals, which cause aging. They also have anti-cancer capabilities due to the presence of the nutrient falcarinol. Consume them raw and whole to gain these benefits.
Salmon
Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to prevent age-related cognitive decline, as well as potassium, which helps to prevent heart disease. The high selenium level helps to balance hormones, boost thyroid health, and keep the metabolism going.
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, mandarins, and tangerines are high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, anti-aging carotenoids, and flavonoids, and have been shown to successfully prevent age-related cognitive decline, cancer, and heart disease.
Soy products
Soy products such as tofu and edamame help to reduce cellular aging. Edamame contains a high concentration of isoflavones, a type of phytochemical having anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities. Tofu contains a high concentration of protein, vital amino acids, and minerals such as zinc, calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus.
Lentils with beans
Because they are high in fibre and protein, they help to control blood sugar levels, keep you full, and build muscle while burning fat. Beans have a low glycemic index, which means they do not inhibit metabolism or create inflammation in the body. Increase your consumption of black, kidney, navy, pinto, garbanzo (chickpeas), and dry peas.
