3 Foods that age you & 6
that keep you young
Hi John
I’m going to go out on a limb today and say that it’s pretty likely that no
one over age 30 is striving to look
older than their years.
Quite the opposite!
All you need to do is look around you. There are countless products
designed to erase years off your appearance like facial creams, age-defying
makeup, skin toner, hair dye, teeth whitening strips and volume-creating
shampoos and hair products.
And if you want to get into the more invasive (and
expensive)
youth-preserving options you can look at things like Botox, chemical peels,
rejuvenation or the favorite of Joan Rivers, Kenny Rogers and Bruce Jenner…
Facelifts!
Now, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to appear younger! Even yours
truly has been known to “wash the gray out of my hair.”
But the problem is that most people are SO focused on looking younger from
the
outside that they forget about the
#1 most important
factor that will dictate whether you will get carded at the liquor store at
age 40 or have Boy Scouts offering to help you cross the road instead…
Your insides!
That’s right.
How healthy your body is on the
inside is a HUGE indicator of
your appearance on the
outside.
And the more attention you pay to making yourself attractive on the inside,
the more youthful and radiant you will appear on the outside!
Here are the 3 biggest bangs for your buck that will help S – L – O – W down
that biological clock for you and help you look your absolute BEST!
1) Quit smoking
Nothing will destroy your skin and age you faster than smoking--
NOTHING.
Experts say smoking accelerates the normal aging process of your skin,
contributing to wrinkles. These skin changes can occur
after only 10
years of smoking and are
IRREVERSIBLE.
I saw this in action recently. I ran into a gal at a party recently
that I knew from my early adulthood who was once a beautiful, vibrant
woman. Unfortunately she has continued to smoke for the past 20 years or
so that we lost touch.
I can honestly say that I barely recognized her and she looked
20 years
older than she is…as a matter of fact, someone else at the party who
knew her thought she was her
mother.
Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of
your skin. This impairs blood flow to the skin, robbing it of oxygen and
important nutrients, such as vitamin A.
Smoking also damages collagen and elastin - the fibers that give your skin
its strength and elasticity. As a result, your skin begins to sag and
wrinkle prematurely.
It isn’t necessary to quit cold turkey if you feel that’s not right for you.
There are
loads of other stop smoking aids and programs out there, so
pick the one that is right for you and do it
NOW.
No more excuses.
2) Move your
butt
There's no denying it--if you want anything that resembles a measure of
health (and to avoid looking older than your years), you MUST move your
body.
Engaging in a regular exercise routine that facilitates better, more
supportive muscle tone will help you firm up sagging skin from your neck down.
Patricia Farris, MD, a dermatologist in Metairie, LA says, "I am
religious about strength-training, and I always tell patients to do it more as
they get older. It's like adding volume to the face with fillers, except
on your body."
Now, before you panic or start with your excuses, exercise doesn't have to
mean joining a club or investing in expensive equipment.
For example, there are a lot of great DVDs out there. I was inspired
to start my karate training after doing Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo for 4 years in my
living room.
P90X and Insanity are also intense workouts (but not for the faint of
heart!).
Yoga is excellent and there are classes offered everywhere you turn.
There are also free weights which are relatively inexpensive, plus running
or walking is basically cost-free (except for good shoes).
Note that you don't have to do the same activity day in and day out--that
can cause boredom and lead you to quit.
Instead mix it up. For example, you can walk with your neighbor on
Sundays, do weights on Tuesdays, yoga on Thursdays and take the dog for a light
jog on Saturdays.
Just MOVE—you’ll LOVE the results!
3) Eat
for a younger appearance
The foods you eat make a HUGE difference in your appearance.
As a matter of fact, there are certain foods that
add years to your face
and certain others that can help
turn back time!
Let’s take a closer look at both of these.
3 Foods that age you
Flour and sugar-based foods (aka
refined carbs)
Flour and sugar-based foods (refined carbs) such as pasta, breads, bagels,
cereals, crackers, muffins, and other baked goods can cause a tremendous influx
of sugar in your bloodstream.
Sugar is an very
inflammatory substance—so if your veins are loaded
with it day in and day out, to a level that’s far above what you need for
energy, you are asking inflammation to take its toll on YOU.
And that can come out as things like aches and pains, arthritis, tumors,
high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and wrinkles!
Corn-based foods
These include things like corn chips, corn cereals, corn oil, and also the
biggest health-wrecking corn substance of all--high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)!
Like the refined cabs above, corn-based foods also have a big impact on your
blood sugar levels and therefore can increase inflammation and accelerate
aging.
But it gets worse.
Because scientists have found out that the
fructose in HFCS (as
compared to regular glucose)
causes 10x more formation of compounds
called “
Advanced Glycation End Products” (AGEs—appropriate
acronym)!
AGEs speed up the aging process in your body including damage to your
organs, your joints, and of course, wrinkled skin.
And considering that HFCS is ALL around us (in ketchup, salad dressing,
barbecue sauce and the biggest offender—SODA) many people are getting
a
daily dose of accelerated aging on a plate or in a glass.
Foods that contain trans-fats
Trans-fats are basically poison to your body. They spur the formation
of free radicals and basically make your arteries resemble French fries, as
well as accelerate premature aging—so you’re practically
guaranteed to
look old before your time.
What makes them even more dangerous is that they're not from Nature, so you
don't have the enzymes to break them down. That means they're VERY tough
for your body to eliminate and have free reign inside of you.
Plus once you ingest them, they reproduce by the billions, causing what
chemists have called a "free radical cascade."
Trans-fats are found in processed foods, fast food and baked goods of ALL
kinds.
The good news is they're easy to spot--any time you see a food label that
says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil or shortening, avoid it like
the plague. It's loaded with trans-fats.
Now let’s look at the flip side…
6 Foods that keep you
looking younger
Wild Alaskan Salmon
Wild Alaskan salmon is one of the best sources of Omega-3 essential fatty
acids in the world, helping to reverse the chronically imbalanced Omega-6 to
Omega-3 ratios that many people have.
Omega-3 EFAs are essential for heart and brain health, circulation, memory
and control of blood sugar. They're also a natural anti-inflammatory and help
to fight inflammation-related conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Salmon also is a great source of protein, potassium, vitamin B12, niacin and
the anti-cancer trace mineral selenium (which has been shown to help reduce
breast cancer risk).
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is very high in phenols, which are potent
antioxidants. It is also a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat that helps improve
your HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio.
Studies of a Mediterranean-type diet have shown that consumption of olive
oil is associated with a reduction in mortality of people with heart disease as
well as lowering blood pressure.
Research also shows that olive oil may help protect against colon cancer and
bowel cancer. You can use it in salad dressings and it's a great choice
for cooking too.
Almonds
Almonds are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat, which not only helps
lower cholesterol but is associated with lower levels of heart disease and
cancer, as well as longer life spans.
Almonds also contain protein, fiber and calcium, as well as phosphorus,
vitamin E and magnesium. And since they contain no carbohydrates, they're
perfect for diabetics.
Blueberries
Blueberries are both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and help to fight
and prevent major serious diseases including Parkinson's, cancer, heart
disease, diabetes and arthritis.
Beneficial plant compounds in blueberries called polyphenols help strengthen
memory and slow or prevent the decreased coordination and balance associated
with advancing age.
They can also help lower blood cholesterol, encourage urinary health and
protect against glaucoma and cataracts.
Red wine
Moderate consumption of red wine (1-2 glasses per day) not only helps reduce
risk of cardiovascular disease, but red wine also has one of the highest phenol
contents of any food or drink.
Phenols are food for the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in your gut, which
can keep your immune system strong to help fight diseases like cancer.
Now remember that any form of alcohol in excess is NOT good for your health,
so strive to keep it red and keep it moderate.
And the ultimate dream come true for many (including yours truly):
Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate and dark cocoa powder are excellent sources of
probiotic-nourishing dietary phenols. (This is not true of milk chocolate
because its processing decreases the phenol content.)
The higher the cocoa content, the higher the phenols.
Cocoa is also rich in flavanols that help preserve the health of your blood
vessels. Maintaining healthy, elastic blood vessels lowers your risk of high
blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.
Now, this is not an invitation to make Godiva, Lindt, Nestle's and Hershey's
your 4 new food groups... but an occasional treat of a nice piece of dark
chocolate will make your tongue dance AND help fight the effects of aging.
Get it together
Now remember that it’s not only important to know
what to eat, but
also what to eat
TOGETHER. THAT'S the ticket to real lasting
health and slowing down the effects of aging.
The manuals in
the
Great Taste No Pain Digestive Health System will show you everything
you need to know.
-
http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
The manual "What To Eat With What" spells out exactly what you
should have with your favorite foods to keep digestion smooth and efficient.
"Foods That Create Acid, Foods That Take It Away" explains the
dangers of excess acid wastes in your body and how they contribute to rapid
aging and disease, as well as shows you which foods are acid-forming vs.
alkaline.
And the GTNP recipe book is loaded with spectacular yet easy to prepare
dishes (including great recipes using the keep-you-young foods above) that will
make you feel like you're dining in the finest restaurants--right in your own
home.
Even MORE anti-aging help
The typical modern hard-to-digest diet has also resulted in many people
having loads of harmful bacteria overgrowth in their intestines
(dysbiosis)--which hampers the immune system and makes your gut wall leaky; as
well as diminished their ability to produce adequate digestive enzymes--which destroys
digestion.
Nothing can make you feel (and look) old faster than repeated sicknesses
from a weak immune system and a leaky gut, as well as heartburn, gas, bloating
and constipation from poor digestion!
But you can help restore these crucial balances in your body and start
feeling better than you have in YEARS.
Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula can give your body a healthy dose of the
friendly bacteria it needs so you can have a stronger gut wall and a sharpened
immune system.
