Walnuts with Anti-Aging PropertiesHealthy food can help those interested in eating in a way that fights aging.  You can eat in a healthy way that is anti-aging.  Loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats, nuts are a healthy tasty snack. Known for longevity promoting qualities in Chinese medicine, walnuts and walnut oil are another item to add to your anti-aging shopping list.

Peanuts also benefit you with their ability to lower cholesterol. Almonds

are good to add to your shopping list because they contain healthy monounsaturated fats and are a good source of calcium. Monounsaturated fats are known to lower the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Mind you, limit your portion of nuts each day to about a couple of tablespoons or you could gain unwanted weight.

Like nuts, seeds are also excellent anti-aging snacks. Eat about a handful a day, use them as a snack or add to wholegrain cereals, yogurt or salads. Pumpkin, flaxseeds, sesame or sunflower are excellent choices for you to munch on when you get that afternoon slump or feel like nibbling on a snack. An anti-aging diet is what you should be eating to fight the diseases of aging.

Anti-aging: Good Fats You Need

Published by PureAgeless under Anti-aging,Diets

Olive OilGood fats (monounsaturated fats) in your diet are essential to any anti-aging program for anti-aging naturally. Your good fat intake should come from things like walnuts, nuts, extra virgin oil, oily fish, avocados and flax seed oil. As we age, our appetites may decrease and we may become more frail. Good fats speed up the absorption rates of fat soluble carotenoids and vitamins. Good fats energize, help you to lose weight, add flavor to food and reduce inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis.

What’s more, monounsaturated fats help reduce belly fat, assist with the health of our arteries, decrease the risk of breast cancer, and lower bad cholesterol while increasing good cholesterol.

Increasing the good fats in your diet and eliminating the “trans fats” completely are the steps to take towards healthy eating to help you reduce the effects of aging on your appearance and health.  This is one of the most important things for antiaging naturally.
