3. Anti-Aging Diet

Unlike what you normally think of when you hear the word “diet,” the anti-aging plan is not about loosing weight (although it can have that effect). It’s about changing what we eat, and being more aware of how food affects our bodies. When you realize that you eat about 600 pounds of food annually, the importance of choosing the right foods in the right amounts becomes very clear. This is doubly true as we age because the body doesn’t process food as effectively when our metabolism slows down, meaning we don’t always get all the best nutritional benefits from our diet.

Calorie restriction is one part of the anti-aging diet plan. The idea here is modulating fat and sugar, and improving the overall benefit we receive from our foods. Studies indicate that well planned calorie restriction can increase mental clarity, decrease sickness and disease, and generally lead to a longer life.

The second part of the anti-aging diet is following a model provided by people in the Mediterranean in terms of what they consume. Aptly called the Mediterranean diet, this cuisine is rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, fiber, anti-oxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, while remaining low in saturated fat. Beyond just the food itself, however, is the way people eat. Here mealtime is not rushed; food is served fresh whenever possible (or minimally cooked), and overall eating is a celebration focused on both health and family. This is very sound from an anti-aging viewpoint.

Mind you, diets need to be personalized to be the most effective. Every person’s physical condition is different, and needs change with age too. Click here to enter our online book Five Proven Secrets to Longevity and read more about the benefits of an anti-aging diet.
