We know that a good diet is key to being healthy and having a longer life. But, with health and fitness fads gaining popularity, it’s sometimes confusing trying to choose which foods are the healthy option. However, research suggests that incorporating certain anti-aging foods will give you the extra boost that you have been looking for!
Here are seven foods to consider:
- Beans/Legumes – Rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, beans have protective benefits, especially for your heart.
- Nuts – Research suggests that nuts are tiny packages of healthy goodness. Nuts are high in monounsaturated fat, which helps lower cholesterol.
- Dark Chocolate – Chocolate improves blood vessel function, which can lower blood pressure and clotting.
- Whole Grains – When it comes to anti-aging foods, whole grains are among the best. They are proven to reduce the risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, infectious disease, and respiratory problems.
- Fish – Fatty fish is high in inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids, which helps protect the heart and brain.
