Lose Weight And Feel Younger Now !!

Anti Aging Diet Tips


1.Piling your plate with fruits and vegetables.



  • they're low in calories, high in nutrients, and filling .
  • Blueberries for instand, full of vitamin C, another potent antioxidant that may help keep your complexion looking smooth by fighting those pesky (skin-damaging) free radicals.
  • set your visions on spinach and other dark leafy greens. These veggies are prime sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, plant pigments that protect your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Leafy greens are also rich in vitamin K, a nutrient that plays a role in reducing bone loss and preventing fractures.

2. Protein




  • To hang on to your metabolism-boosting muscle — and keep you feeling full after meals — experts recommend eating plenty of skinless chicken and turkey breast, lean beef and pork, eggs, beans, and seafood.
  • protein-rich dairy: Minerals (primarily calcium, phosphorus, and potassium) in fat-free milk and yogurt as well as low-fat cheeses help to keep blood pressure healthy, pudge in check, and bones strong.
  • Calcium can't build bone if you're not getting enough protein.


3. Whole Grains

  • Whole grains helps you stay slim, thanks, in part, to fiber's role in appetite control.
  • Whole grains offer protection against diabetes, heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, high blood pressure, and gum disease.

4. Excercise




  • Being active maintains muscle mass, boosts metabolism, and keeps your heart and lungs primed, among other benefits.


5. Drinks


  • Drinking tea may lower your risk of heart attacks, strengthen your immune system, protect tooth enamel, and help fight memory loss associated with aging.
Anti Aging Bonanza


  • Nuts give you a surprising diet edge. A recent study found that despite being a high-fat, high-cal food, they don't promote weight gain. The reason: People find nuts filling and after eating them, offset some of the calories by eating less later on. Best of all, up to 20 percent of the calories in nuts don't get absorbed.
  • Dip into dark chocolate. The latest evidence suggests that cocoa flavanols (more predominant in dark chocolate than milky versions) may lower inflammation, keep blood pressure in check, prevent platelets from clotting (which could, in turn, prevent strokes and heart attacks), and boost brain power.
