4 Foods to Slow Down Ageing

If you are worried that you are ageing quite quickly, the worry is definitely worth it. But, as they say nothing is impossible. Luckily, there are foods that can slow down the process of ageing. Actually, these foods multiply the rate at which cells regenerate, which, in turn, gives the effect of delayed ageing. Here are 4 foods that can help you stay young for long!

Garlic and Onion Family

 

Allicin in garlic works in a double way – it lowers the bad LDL cholesterol along with triglycerides and increases the good HDL cholesterol. It also strengthens the body’s self-defense mechanism, thereby improving immunity. Similar compounds are found in spring onions, onions, chives, leeks, and shallots.

Green Tea



Green tea is a proven antioxidant. Not only it helps get rid of free radicals from body, but also prevents chances of different types of cancers.

Olive Oil

 

Olive oil (and rapeseed) is rich in MUFA, i.e., monounsaturated fat, which is good for health. Go ahead and replace your saturated fats with MUFA!

Yogurt

 

Yogurt contains live bacteria that are great for digestion. As it is also a great source of calcium, it is helpful against osteoporosis at later stage of life.



Stick to the above-mentioned foods and live a younger life!
