Anti aging foods.
The most common ways that slow down the aging of the body are directly related to the regular intake of nutrients. An almost complete set of nutrients contains vitamin and mineral complexes, which are popular because they are an easy way to improve health. But, despite the fact that vitamins and minerals in the pharmacy version are dietary supplements, the doses in such preparations are pharmaceutical and, accordingly, therapeutic.
If we are talking about aging, and this process is not related to diseases, as it is a natural phenomenon, there is no need to radically treat with vitamin and mineral supplements, but it makes sense to adjust your diet according to those sets of vitamins and minerals that are directly involved in the processes, inhibiting aging.
Vitamins and minerals that delay aging are found in ordinary foods that a person can neglect due to the fact that he is not interested in the chemical and biological effects on his body of the composition of the food he consumes.
There are a number of vitamins and minerals, the role of which in the inhibition of the aging process is very large. These are trace elements Selenium, Zinc, Iodine, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium, Iron and vitamins A, E, D, group B.
Foods containing fats and proteins are very important in anti-aging nutrition, although there is a point of view that fatty foods add problems with weight and blood vessels in old age, but at the same time, fats are a source of many useful substances that are involved in recovery processes tissue cells - and after all, tissues begin to age precisely at the cellular level, and after a while the aging process becomes obvious, that is, visible to the eye. Proteins build muscle tissue, which in old age becomes less elastic, with age the volume of muscle tissue begins to decrease.
Where to look for useful vitamins and minerals, and also how not to go overboard in fat and protein foods with impending age-related aging?
Foods with a supply of useful substances against aging are mostly plant foods and fish products:
- Selenium is a very rare element in food, but Brazil nuts (not dried or fried), animal liver, egg yolk, and fish are abundant in it. Selenium is responsible for the quality of the skin, is the main element that counteracts harmful substances that enter the body in the form of toxins from the atmosphere, poor-quality food and water, and helps the production of antibodies and interferons for immunity. Selenium helps in the absorption of iodine.
- Iodine - found in high concentrations in walnuts, seaweed and seafood (crabs, lobsters, shrimp, oysters, mussels). Iodine is responsible for the work of very important sets of hormones, that is, for metabolic processes in the body that affect the fine tuning of the health of the body as a whole.
- Zinc - to a greater extent is part of the pumpkin seeds (and in the seeds of similar gourds - zucchini, squash), and is also found in large doses in sunflower seeds. Zinc is the main element of healthy tissue formation, as well as the restoration of tissue structure at the cellular level.
- Calcium is found in abundance in dairy products: in cottage cheese, cheeses, cheese, butter. Calcium is responsible for the quality of bone tissue, teeth, nails, hair, articular ligaments, which becomes very important with age, since bone tissue and all associated tissues tend to slow down renewal processes and age-related self-destruction.
- Phosphorus is found in fish and seafood in maximum quantities. Phosphorus is a companion of Calcium and vitamin D, together with which it is responsible for the quality of bone tissue and its longevity.
- Magnesium is found in wholemeal flour products, in cereals and seeds of edible plants, in cereals, and in grains of legumes. Magnesium is an activator of the work of enzymes responsible for the transformation of some substances into useful other substances.
- Potassium can be found in abundance in nuts, legumes, plant seeds and grains of cereals, onions and greens (spinach, sorrel). Potassium removes excess water from the body (relieves swelling), and with them removes toxins that have managed to get into the body with an infection, low-quality polluted atmosphere, or with low-quality products.
- Iron is an important regulator of blood quality. In large doses, iron can be found in the liver of animals and poultry, in the meat of animals and poultry, in apples, and in prunes.
- B vitamins and vitamin E are products from cereals, seeds and nuts, vegetable oils of all oilseeds. Vitamins of group B and vitamin E are responsible for the quality of cells of absolutely all tissues in the body, for their health and full functioning.
- Vitamin D is the easiest vitamin to consume and is formed in the body by exposure to sunlight, but foods contain provitamin D, styrene, from which the vitamin itself is formed by exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D styrenes are found in large quantities in foods such as fish liver and fish oil, in fish roe and milk. Vitamin D is responsible for bone formation by supporting calcium-phosphorus metabolism.
- Vitamin A can be replenished by the body if you regularly eat carrots, pumpkins, apricots (including dried ones). Vitamin A is an ambulance for all injuries and tissue destruction, including those of organic origin. Vitamin A restores the cells of all tissues and renews their structural membranes.
With age it is usually recommended to reduce the intake of fatty foods, but this applies to animal fats. To prolong the youthfulness of the body, vegetable fats must be present in the diet, even if a lean diet is recommended. What foods contain vegetable fats? These are all types of plants from which vegetable oil is produced: sunflower seeds, corn kernels, olives, mustard seeds, nuts with a high percentage of fat, avocados, as well as a product such as natural dark chocolate. These foods, along with vegetable oils, will help slow down the aging process, allowing the body to form subcutaneous fatty tissue, which is a depot of the necessary substances to maintain the desired skin turgor. Fat depots are the nourishment of the skin and a source of water in the body in cases where the body does not have enough liquid to drink for a full existence.
Protein foods are just as important for keeping the body from aging as fatty foods, because proteins are the building blocks of all body structures. But protein foods should be light - egg white, poultry, fish and seafood, legumes.
The withering of the body is directly related to malnutrition and poor quality food, with irrationally selected foods for food, since food is the basis of life. By correcting just a set of food products, you can delay the aging process of the body for many years.
