As one clever proverb says, “We are what we eat.” If you think about it, it has a deep meaning. In order to understand it, let’s think about it. A person is made up of cells. The body, with the help of amino acids and trace elements involved in metabolism, builds new cells from protein. As with building a home, the higher quality materials are used in the construction, the better the home you get. Therefore, for a healthy diet, you need to ensure that your diet contains all the necessary minerals and trace elements.
In our case, the body is the home for the soul. When using low-quality foods, you clog your body, and in some cases accelerate the aging process, which is not good. In this article, we will take a closer look at how using the wrong diet can accelerate the aging of the body. So let’s go …
As recent studies show, in order to avoid premature aging of the body, it is enough to follow the following recommendations. This, of course, is by no means a panacea for all ills, and supporters of the concept of a healthy lifestyle (healthy lifestyle) must understand that this is a whole complex and, in addition to recommendations, it is also necessary to adhere to a healthy diet and exercise.
Recommendation # 1.
Include foods rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fats in your diet. Thanks to these fatty acids, your skin tone, joint, and tendon mobility will improve. And most importantly, it has a beneficial effect on the functions of the brain. As you can see, fats can be healthy too. The highest content of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids in fatty acids is present in northern marine fish. At the same time, it is better not to fry it, but to boil it or steam it.
Recommendation # 2.
Include vitamin B12 in your diet. Lack of this vitamin leads to the death of cells and nerve endings. He also participates in the metabolism, maintaining the metabolism at the proper level. It also stimulates the brain and nervous system. Contained in dietary supplements and animal liver. Vegetarians should pay close attention to this trace element since such an important vitamin is practically not found in plant foods.
Recommendation # 3.
Eat foods containing manganese and copper. These microelements are not always given due attention, because they are very important for our body. Primarily for the health of joints and cartilage. Supplements rich in manganese and copper will help you stretch painlessly and increase joint mobility.
Recommendation # 4.
Use in the food of finished products and semi-finished products. Healthy food is fresh food! Do not be lazy to cook yourself and with fresh ingredients. In addition to all kinds of chemical additives and carcinogens that adversely affect your body, ready-made food also does not contain enough potassium. This, in turn, leads to an increase in blood pressure, with all the health problems that follow from this, primarily with the heart.
Recommendation # 5.
Never use genetically modified foods (GMOs) in your food. Lately, passions have been raging around this topic. Some say that it is harmless to health, others that it is very harmful. As a rule, manufacturers declare the harmlessness of GMO products. And this is understandable, they are lobbying for their amendments to the legislation and in every possible way want to add to this muck all of humanity on earth. It is understandable, genetically modified foods grow faster, their fruits are usually large, have a longer shelf life and for some reason they are not eaten by insects and animals, which is already suggestive. There are studies carried out on mice, proving that the use of GMO foods in food leads to a weakening of the immune system, the development of cancer, and infertility. I think this point is the most important. In Ukraine, for example, genetically grown products were obliged to label at the legislative level. Here in Russia, as always, chaos, or our legislators received
not a frail rollback from manufacturers, roofing felts are simply careless about their duties, which is not surprising. True, as always, somewhere in between.
And lastly. Check food labels for harmful substances, shelf life, and GMO content. Whenever possible, use food fresh products is grown in the area where you yourself live because they will be better absorbed by the body.
