I’m a vain pot
and they call me Vain Ken! There you
have it! I’ve admitted I’m vain! *LOL*
I’m in my mid-30s
and I’m not waiting ‘til I’m older to start taking natural anti-aging
nutrients. Best to start early if possible to defy each passing year!
Below are what I
regularly take (mostly the first 4 items) to help me stay youthful:-
1. Red
Wine - Its resveratrol
content is a unique anti-oxidant that can help fight against diabetes, heart
disease and age-related memory loss (drink too much and you’ll have momentary
memory lapses! *LOL*)
2. Beans
- The unique proteins in
beans thicken and strengthen your hair cells resulting in a fully head of hair
(hopefully it’s only applicable to the larger head! *LOL*)
3.
Tomatoes - Tomatoes are
rich in lycopene, which has been shown to support heart health and healthy
cholesterol levels as you age. Lycopene also acts as a natural sun block
to keep skin youthful and protected from harmful UV rays. However, this doesn’t
mean you don’t have to apply sunblock when you go out in the hot sun ya ;-)
4. Olive
Oil - The monounsaturated
fats contained in olive oil support healthy arteries and a healthy heart, while
the polyphenols, which is a potent anti-oxidant helps prevent a number of
age-related diseases. Organic extra virgin olive oil is arguable the
best!
5.
Brazil Nuts - Brazil nuts are
rich in selenium, a mineral which aids in the production of the anti-oxidant
glutathione to help slow down the skin aging process. Just 2 nuts a day
will provide you with enough selenium to reap its anti-aging benefits.
6.
Raspberries & Blueberries – They contain important anti-oxidants that help offset inflammation and
oxidative stress that contribute to skin aging and wrinkles. Just one
serving of either contains more anti-oxidants than 10 servings of most other
fruits and vegetables! Berry up!
7.
Organic Eggs - Eggs are
rich in biotin and iron which help to promote healthy, youthful skin and hair.
