Nutrition should always be the foundation of your anti-aging program. Eat a healthful diet centered around organic vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains. These organic foods provide vitamins A, Beta Carotene, vitamins C, E and nutrients such as zinc, selenium, coenzyme Q10 and lipoic acid. Include omega-3 rich fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) with moderate amounts of soy and other lean protein. A little extra-virgin olive oil (dark bottles), minimizing animal fats and avoiding processed fats.

Now for another buzz word antioxidants... Many studies show that antioxidants limit free radical (the little rascals that contribute to aging) damage. Broad spectrum supplements are most effective in supporting all the links in the nutritional chain, giving your body what it needs at any given time. Antioxidants to look for in a good food supplement are: vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A and beta-carotene. These supplements should also contain folic acid and B-complex especially B6 and B12. Quality oils from fish, flax and olive are important to curb inflammation.

Don't forget the water...

Until next time on exercises and emotional health...
