The things we eat have a significant way of affecting how quickly or slowly you will look old. According to Healthline, some foods contain certain nutrients that are vital to fighting inflammation in the body.
This can help us slow down the process of aging. Some of the things that cause wrinkles in old age are cigarettes, alcohol, stress, insufficient oxygen and nutrients in the blood cells, and sleep deprivation.
However, when you eat foods that are high in antioxidants, they can help prevent free radical damage and make the process of aging slower. As an adult, if you keep eating junk foods, they will cause oxidative damage that will hasten the process of aging.
1. Cook your food and spice it with turmeric.
It has a powerful antioxidant that can protect your blood cells from damage. As we grow older, aging cells come together to hasten the aging process in the body.
However, when you add the spice turmeric to your cooked food, the antioxidant agents can help prevent cell damage.
2. After your regular meal, drink some green tea.
It contains some polyphenol ingredients that work as anti-aging agents in the body. This can help prevent some of the diseases that happen to people in old age.
3. Cocoa and dark chocolate are also good for older people.
They contain resveratrol, a polyphenol that acts as an antioxidant to activate certain enzymes in your body. This can contribute to slowing down your aging progress.
You can prepare some coconut tea and drink it after your normal meal.
