How To Turn Back Time In Your Body
In this article today I would like to talk about several tricks, tips, and techniques that just about anybody can use to help stop the aging process in your body and turn back the hands of time.
I don't know anybody who is looking forward to growing old and dying! I also don't know anybody who wants to look old and shriveled up before their time. Unfortunately we live in a world where life is a fast-paced stress-induced and fast food driven world that promotes the wearing down of our bodies and growing old before our time.
Sure, medical technological advances are allowing us to live longer but it's not making us feel any younger and it's not helping us to look younger, unless you consider expensive plastic surgeries of course.
Fortunately science is starting to get a handle on what make us grow and look old and it's given us several tips that we can use to help reverse the aging process in our bodies to a considerable degree and allow us to maintain a healthy and younger looking body well into old age.
So what makes us look old? Basically it's things in our bodies called free radicals. Free radicals are small molecular sized things that burn up oxygen by reacting with other molecules in a process that is referred to as oxidation. It is this process that wrecks havoc on our bodies and makes us look older before our time.
So how do we fight this? Through eating a diet high in something called antioxidants. Get it? Oxidants bad, antioxidants good! It's really as simple as that. Now there are hundreds of different types of foods out there that are high in antioxidants and the trick is to fashion a diet high in them.
On the flip side you should reduce consumption of bad foods that promote free radicals. Most meat contains carcinogens that release free radicals in to our system, so a good idea is to reduce the amount of meat that you eat. You don't have to become a vegetarian but most of us eat way too much meat anyway. A portion of meat in your main meal of the day should not be any larger than a deck of cards but for most of us our plates are overflowing with meat in many of our meals.
So which foods are high in antioxidants? Basically most fruits and vegetables are high in them. You can find antioxidants in foods that are high in vitamin C, vitamin E, and foods with high levels of beta carotene as well. Imagine that, vegetables are good for us? Who knew!
So now you know what types of things destroy our bodies and make us look old before our time and you also know how to fight against it by eating foods that are high in antioxidants and reducing consumption of foods that are high in things that promote free radicals.
