Green Tea - This oriental tea contains powerful catechins which are
potent antioxidants that have been shown to prevent cancer. A recent report in
the European Journal of Neuroscience even suggested that regular consumption
of green tea may reduce the risk of age related degenerative brain disorders
such as Alzheimer's disease.
Furthermore, we all know that antioxidants slow down skin and collagen
aging and can delay the onset of ugly wrinkles and facial skin sagging.

However, not all forms of green tea carry the same health benefits as teas
packed in tea bags have gone through several processes that may reduce its
efficacies. I leave you to ponder whether there are any relations between
green tea and longevity as the biggest green tea consumers in the world are
the Japanese and they have more centurians (people living longer than 100
years) than any other races on Earth!

Olive Oil - Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat which
promotes a healthy cholesterol level. This oil is good for your heart because
of its anti-inflammatory effects that prevent heart diseases. Olive oil also
strengthens blood vessel walls thus lowering the risks of internal bleeding.
Although it is beneficial for your heart health, it is still a form of fat and
is high in caloric content.
The health benefits of this oil is evidently displayed in the Mediterranean
diet as people living in the Mediterranean basin who consume olive oil
regularly have very low rate of heart related diseases. Read Mediterranean
Diet.
Tomatoes – Your mum may not know what make tomatoes healthy, but she
definitely knew that it is when she screamed at you to eat your tomatoes when
you were a kid. This is because tomatoes contain a high dose of lycopine.
Lycopine hinders the skin's aging process thus helping to reduce
wrinkles and fine lines. It does this to the DNA in mitochondria cells which
are crucial to cellular growth.
Tomatoes also contain a good dash of vitamin C which is also an antioxidant
helping to strengthen collagen fibers. Collagen is a protein that is essential
to your skink, cartilage and ligaments.
Yogurt – The humble yogurt contains calcium which maintains strong
bones. It also contains probiotics which helps to prevent bowel diseases.
As we get older, our bones lose calcium and therefore we have to supplement
with more calcium to prevent osteoporosis and bone degenerative diseases,
which are the causes of many back pains, neck pains and other bone/joint
painful conditions. Read Get

Seeds and Nuts – Seeds and nuts are excellent sources of vitamin E and
omega-6 fatty acids. These two compounds work together to keep the skin
elastic and thus reduces the signs of aging skin. Read Facelift Without
Surgery.
Berries – Berries come in multiple hues of colors and the color
pigments determine the types of antioxidants in them. An antioxidant analysis
carried out by the United States Department of Agriculture showed that
blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries and raspberries top the
list of 20 foods with the highest levels of antioxidants.
There you are, with regular consumption of such healthy foods, you are bound
to feel and look younger not to say having healthier body!
All the best to a younger
and healthier you.
