Eat This.  You'll Look 10 Years Younger
 

 
     As we grow older in years, our skin begins to wrinkle and sag because of inflammation-the same culprit that contributes to age-related illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Dr. Nicholas Perricone says the wrong food can spike inflammation and the right food can slow it down. The author of "The Perricone Promise: Look Younger, Live Longer in Three Easy Steps" insists that eating certain types of foods and avoiding others will actually make you look 10 years younger in just 30 days. It's like an Rx for aging beautifully. If you want to feel and look younger, lust do THIS 30 minutes every day. The right foods for beautiful skin are fish and other sources of high-quality protein, colorful fruits and vegetables, and adequate amounts of good fat found in salmon, flax, nuts, seeds and olive oil. The wrong foods increase the levels of pro-inflammatory peptides. which attach to collagen and result in sagging skin are sugar, processed foods, pasta, breads, pastry. In addition to a healthy diet, Dr. Nicholas Perricone offers this grocery list of 10 anti-aging foods: 1. Acai Fruit: Find it in juice form in health food and gourmet stores. 2. Allium Family of Foods: Garlic, onions, leeks, scallions, chives, and shallots help the liver eliminate toxins and carcinogens.. 3. Barley: High in fiber, barley helps metabolize fats, cholesterol, and carbohydrates. Eat it as a breakfast cereal, add it to soups and stews, or use it as a rice substitute. 4. Green Foods: These include wheat and barley grasses that you can purchase in powder, tablet, or juice form. They offer more nutrients than green leafy vegetables and help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure and boost your immune response. 5. Buckwheat Seed and Grain: It's loaded with protein, high in amino acid, stabilizes blood sugar, and reduces hypertension. 6. Beans and Lentils: In addition to lentils, the best beans are kidney, black, navy, pinto, chickpeas, soybeans, and peas. They're loaded with antioxidants, folic acid, and potassium. 7. Hot Peppers: Bell peppers and chili peppers have twice the vitamin C as citrus fruit and burn fat. 8. Nuts and Seeds: Eat a handful of nuts every day-be it walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia, or pistachio. They're packed with omega 3 fats, which are great for your heart. Be sure to choose raw and unsalted. 9. Sprouts: High in protein and vitamin C, sprouts are a tasty addition to many dishes. 10. Yogurt and Kefir: Both of these cultured foods contain healthful bacteria that aid immune function. In addition, the calcium helps bum fat. Here's a recipe idea: Use them as a base for a smoothie.
