Antiaging Nutrition – How Food Can Defeat Age
Proper anti-aging nutrition can seriously reduce most signs of aging. Wrinkles, memory loss, heart disease risk and osteoporosis to a certain extent can be prevented with the right diet. Find the secrets of anti-aging food and nutritional supplements.
Modern medicine offers many anti-aging treatments – special antiaging programs and clinics, creams and skin lotions, anti-aging food supplements and vitamins. But your diet is the first and most important tool to defeat age.
What are most important anti-aging nutrients?
As we age, our body slowly looses its ability to process vitamins. So to keep the right level of nutrition you need to consume more of the key vitamins than before. For example, vitamin D is essential in preventing osteoporosis. While we are young, our skin produces enough of Vitamin D when we are exposed to the sun, but with age its production is reduces by approximately 30 percent.
Vitamins of B group are also very important. It is responsible for keeping memory loss and heart diseases out. Most important B group vitamins are B 6, B 12 and Folic acid. You also need more of Vitamin B as your body ages.
How to achieve anti-aging nutrition
To get the right anti-aging nutrition is easier than you think. All you have to do is to increase the intake of vegetables and fresh fruit in your everyday diet. This will also help you to loose weight if you have any extra kilos.
Consuming vegetables and fruits gives you three anti-aging benefits at once. First, most fruits and veggies contain no fat or cholesterol. Second, they are full of important nutritients – most fresh fruits contain Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, beta carotene and folic acid. All of these are vitally important for anti-aging. And, third, vegetables and fruits provide a lot of fiber which helps keep your digestive system healthy and clean.
Foods that bring most anti-aging benefits are spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, berries, oranges and other citruses, apples, lettuce and onions. But this doesn’t mean that other vegetables and fruits should be excluded from your diet, because almost any fruit if it is fresh contains important anti-aging agents.
Most fruits and veggies don’t provide much protein for your body. As we all know good sources of protein are meat and fish. When it comes to anti-aging diet, lean fish is preferred. It also supplies Omega 3 fats, important for antiaging.
Antiaging diet or antiaging supplements – which is better?
It is better is to use both. As mentioned before, the ability of our body to process vitamins reduces with age. This means you will need to consume more vitamins as you age. It doesn’t make any sense to double your food intake, so antiaging supplements can be very helpful.
There are many anti-aging antioxidant supplements on offer. Some are quite pricy, others are more affordable. One thing you should know is that antioxidant complex is just a fancy name for vitamins and certain minerals. So a quality multivitamin would serve well as anti-aging supplement. Additionally, you can take vitamin C. Most multivitamin pills don’t include enough of Vitamin C, so unless you are in a habit of drinking several glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice every day, a Vitamin C supplement is necessary. According to the Alliance for Aging Research 1,000 mg is an adequate daily dose.
You should be careful not to overdo it with the vitamin supplements. Most Vitamins, with the exception of Vitamin C, are not water soluble, which means that they can accumulate in your body. Too much of vitamins can be toxic. This is the reason; you should not take any supplements without consulting a doctor.
That was anti-aging nutrition in a nut shell. There is no miraculous “anti-aging food”, just a balanced diet rich in vitamins and low in fat is your best anti-aging solution.
