In some ways, anti-aging is a hopeless pursuit. We all inevitably age. But if we’re lucky, we age well. We all eventually kick the bucket too, but that’s just how life works. We can’t be young and vibrant without the other reality keeping it all in balance. However that doesn’t mean that we have to grow old in an unhealthy way. In fact the way we treat our bodies throughout our entire lives can greatly impact the aging process. Diet of course, plays a monumental role in that regard. But can eating anti-aging foods really help?
When it comes to anti-aging there is no question that there are habits that will drastically speed up the aging process. These include smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and eating foods that are high in sodium, sugar, and trans fats. But eating foods that are high enough in phytonutrients like flavonoids and carotenoids (antioxidants found in a number of fruits and vegetables) can help with anti-aging and keep you feeling energetic and healthy.
