Research into antiaging and possible ways to slow down the aging process has increased dramatically over the past few years. And plant nutrients have been found to play a key role in antiaging nutrition…
Fruit, vegetables, and plant extracts all contain an array of chemical constituents, called phytochemicals or phytonutrients. These are hugely beneficial to skin health and beauty.
Antioxidants are one class of phytonutrients, though there are many others, and they work by supplying an extra oxygen molecule to those molecules that are missing one, called free radicals.
One of the benefits of vitamin e is that it is one of the best anti-aging antioxidants. Anti-oxidants neutralize the free radicals that would otherwise damage your skin cells causing you to age more quickly.
Consuming nuts, seeds and oils that are rich in vitamin e helps protect you from the effects of free radicals by neutralizing them before they can cause any damage.
A new anti-aging diet that has appeared on the scene is the Perricone Prescription. Dr. Perricone claims that in just three days, people will see the anti-aging effects of following this diet.
Apparently, it is not just another weight loss diet, but a way of eating that is supposed to soften wrinkles, firm the skin, reduce inflammation in the body, and increase energy.
The staple ingredients of the diet are anti-inflammatory foods such as salmon and blueberries. Perricone says foods such as sugar, pasta, bread, bananas and other starches contribute to inflammation in the body and speeds up the aging process.
Whether you follow the Perricone Prescription as an aide to your antiaging nutrition program or another healthy way of eating, you owe it to yourself to treat your body right. You’ll feel much better for it and in addition you’ll be improving your overall health and well-being.
