For ages man has been trying to defy Father Time and Mother
Nature. Eternal youth is a myth but you can definitely defy old
age with anti aging diet. And contrary to popular myth, anti
aging diet does not translate into starving yourself.
A strict adherence to any anti aging diet not only delays aging,
but also prevents a large number of diseases and the ensuing
stress and fatality. Such a diet plan is guaranteed to make you
look younger and stay healthy too.
Anti aging diet is actually a form of calorie restriction.
However, it is fundamentally different from the numerous fad
diets that are featured in the newspaper daily. In this diet
program, you eat less overall and keep a tab on the amount of
fats and carbohydrates you are consuming.
How you keep a check on the calories is up to your convenience.
You can skip your lunch, or gorge on all kinds of foods for a
few days and then go hungry the other days of the week or you
can limit your food intake on all days of the week.
The anti aging diet plan maintains a fine line between consuming
less and being malnutritioned. That means you do not compromise
on the essential nutrients by having more of anti aging food
like fruits, vegetables and fishes.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, except avocadoes, coconuts and
olives, are storehouses of essential vitamins and minerals. They
are low on calories and devoid of fat, cholesterol and sodium,
the culprits behind coronary diseases, diabetes and hypertension.
The anti aging diet program also emphasizes the intake of fruits
and vegetables for they contain antioxidants in large measures.
Antioxidants induce longevity by countering free oxygen
radicals, which erode cell membranes and life-nourishing
proteins. Antioxidants also stem the neural degeneration that
comes with senility. It is no wonder that the National Cancer
Institute recommends a daily anti aging diet of five
fruit-and-vegetable portions. But the more, the merrier.
You cannot banish fat entirely from your diet but the anti aging
diet plan counsels that fish be the source of this fat. The
omega-3 fatty acids contained therein, inhibit the growth of
cancerous cells, stimulate the immune system, reduce the chances
of cardiac arrest and ward off depression.
Anti aging diet has caught on like nothing else and people are
already swooning over the Jennifer Anniston endorsed Atkins Diet
and the South Beach Diet. Both are essentially low carbohydrate
diets.
While the Atkins Diet is formulated on the principle that when
you are running low on carbs, the body is left with no other
choice but to burn the fat, the South Beach Diet recommends
complex carbs, which take time to break down so that you have
less sugar cravings.
The hype surrounding anti aging diet seems justified for nothing
less than your health is at stake.
