Anti Aging Nutrition

Anti Aging Nutrition is now widely accepted and proves to help us stay healthy, fit and energetic. Many diseases are associated with aging,but are not a necessary part of aging. We can greatly lessen our chances of getting a degenerative disease such as arthritis or even cancer with anti aging nutrition.

We can ward off signs of aging such as wrinkles, tiredness, thin skin and atrophied muscles to name a few. Your body must constantly make new cells to replace the old. That’s why you wash your face, for example, to get rid of the old, dead cells making room for fresh new ones. If your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, it simply will not build new and healthy cells.

Our bodies make new cells constantly, each day. We can give our bodies the nutrients it needs, through food, to make healthy, new cells and regenerate, or we can eat poor quality processed, dead foods causing our bodies to make substandard cells, or degenerate.

Free radicals flowing through our bodies as we eat them, breathe them, and even manufacture them will further damage our cells. Free radicals are linked to memory loss, less capacity to make new cells (regenerate), and degenerative disease such as cancer.

Luckily, the choices you make in life, including diet, can greatly enhance your chances of not falling into the premature aging trap. We can do a colon cleanse to help our bodies rid the buildup of waste and degenerating toxins in our bodies. This will help eliminate free radical and mucoid plaque buildup that inhibits our bodies’ ability to absorb the nutrients it needs to make new and healthy cells. In addition, we can consume anti-aging nutrition in foods that help us stay younger, leaner and more energetic well into the golden years.

The following is a guide for anti aging nutrition. Here are the foods that will help you prolong your youth and feel healthy, vital and energetic longer than many believe is possible.

• First you must eliminate the junk foods that are full of free radicals and offer no nutrition that your body can utilize. Foods that are processed are broken down into a substance with no nutritive value. Then synthetic vitamins are added that cannot be processed by the body (such as “enriched” bread). This is a twofold problem as these foods add free radicals and create a nutrition deficit causing the premature breakdown of our bodies, including skin aging, hair and muscle loss, and disease.


• Add Essential Fatty Acids such as found in avocadoes and olive and flax seed oil have numerous anti aging nutrition qualities. Consuming EFA’s has been shown to ward off depression, lower risk of heart disease, stimulate the immune system, and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. In addition EFA’s will give your body the nutrients it needs for sleek, supple skin and healthy hair and is known to balance hormones.

  You can eat the foods mentioned in addition to fish such as wild salmon. If you want the extra boost, try an Essential Fatty Acid supplement that contains a full spectrum of oils, each having their own nutritive qualities. For example, borage and evening primrose oil are best known to balance hormones. Flax oil is best known to lubricate the digestive tract and help stimulate natural peristalsis. Avocadoes are excellent for skin nourishment.



• Add wheat germ oil to your anti aging nutrition. This oil is rich in inositol, which helps your body and liver metabolize fats. This can reduce the bodies’ need to excrete oils through the skin causing blemishes and poor skin quality.


• Antioxidants are an important part of anti aging nutrition. Research has shown that diets rich in antioxidants prevent disease and premature aging. They stimulate the immune system, protect the nervous system and brain from damage associated with memory loss, and fight protein and cell damaging free-radicals.

  Foods that are ranked with the highest antioxidant activity are: prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, kale, strawberries and spinach.



• Parsley is a highly nutritious herb and is excellent for oxygen metabolism and your adrenal glands which manufacture and release necessary hormones that keep your body working and balanced. Eat it raw or add it to fresh juice.


• Cucumbers should be eaten daily or added to fresh juice. This food is full of its own mineral water and is a diuretic to help your kidneys eliminate waste. This in turn can neutralize blood acid which is linked to disease.


• Grapefruit, celery and cherries all have been shown to dislodge calcium deposits from joints, helping to alleviate symptoms of arthritis. Cherries are packed full of antioxidants and celery contains natural sodium which helps regulate heartbeat.

In general, the more raw fruits and vegetables you eat, the better. These by far contain the most anti-aging nutrition with no toxins to damage your youthful cells. Fresh juice made with fruits and veggies will give you more nutritional benefit than any pill. Too much meat and processed foods are associated with degenerative disease. Junk food not only will leave you nutritionally depleted, but are the opposite of anti-aging nutrition because they can help speed up the damage to your cells and diminish your capacity to make new ones.
