Nutritionists say that what you eat is the golden rule for staying young, which is not profound at all; all we lack is persistence! Eating only 70% full = a heart that is 10 years younger
Eating less often yields dramatic results. An American experiment showed that mice that reduced their daily food intake by 30% lived 30% longer. Even more incredibly, a thin person's heart can be 10 to 15 years younger than an overweight person's. Other related data shows that people who restrict their calorie intake have significantly improved insulin levels and reduced signs of DNA damage. Scientists believe that controlling food intake can reduce the damage high blood sugar causes to tissues, lower the incidence of inflammation, and cut down on free radicals (the main culprits of aging). Sugar is the most aging
High-sugar foods often contain large amounts of easily digestible sugars, which can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly in a short period. Over the long term, this can lead to diabetes, which accelerates the aging process and causes the body's other organs to develop problems more quickly. Therefore, it is best for us to return to the past habit of a primarily vegetarian diet. But be mindful of eating fewer potatoes, as they can increase the risk of diabetes by 30%. Whole wheat, brown rice, and whole wheat pasta and crushed wheat are better choices. Let your palate fall in love with vegetables and fish
Try to eat as many different kinds of vegetables as possible every day, for reasons you should already know. Also, seafood lovers, take note: don't think all seafood is good. What we actually need are the rich fatty acids found in fish, which can prevent sudden death from heart disease, slow down depression, Alzheimer's disease, osteoarthritis, and vision loss. Fatty acids are abundant in salmon, sardines, and trout. Good fatty acids are also abundant in some nuts like walnuts, as well as in corn oil, castor oil, and olive oil. Eat less fried food, margarine, and other unhealthy fats. Eat more curry to stay young
Curcumin, the spicy pigment that gives curry its yellow color, is also a potential chemical anti-aging agent. In India, this substance is often used to dress wounds. In East Asia, curry is widely used. This is also one of the reasons why the incidence of various cancers, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's is relatively low among East Asians. If you don't like the taste of Indian food, it's best to ensure you supplement with 500mg to 1000mg of curcumin daily. Double your vitamin D intake
If you have to supplement with just one vitamin, experts recommend vitamin D. Vitamin D is produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight, but this process gradually weakens as people age. Currently, about half of the population is deficient in vitamin D. This deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, vascular sclerosis, and various cancers. No other vitamin is so widely and commonly deficient, unless you can supplement it by eating large amounts of fish.
