I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but a joke I love goes something like this: Dieting may not actually make you live longer, but it sure feels that way. Well, I don’t think that really applies now that research shows that the anti aging diet can add years to your life.
The anti-aging diet is not a diet in the sense that its objective is to make you lose weight. Instead, the anti aging diet is actually a lifestyle of dietary habits that will lead you to longevity. So, it’s not really a weight reduction diet, but it can have a weight reduction effect.
Based on a modified Mediterranean diet, the anti aging diet is rich in fruits, vegtables, grains and low in saturated fat. It’s been shown to be able to reduce the risk of heart disease, and is known to prevent cancer. The diet is full of fiber ,anti-oxidants and other vital vitamins and minerals. However, it’s definately not for everyone as it’s more about following a strict calorie restricted diet of 2000 calories or less per day.
I plan to start my own modified anti aging diet, by not focusing so much on only consuming 2000 calories each day, but more of making sure I eat plenty of the foods that are known to have great antioxidant properties. By eating lots of the so called “Super Fruits” like pomegranite and strawberries as well as foods rich in fiber, I think will compliment my taking of reservatol supplements. I heard that acai berries are the best super fruit you could ever get, but it seems like the only way to get them is buy purchasing expensive supplements or drinks. I would really like to include some acai in my diet, but I need to find an inexpensive product first.
In my quest for longevity, I think that a change in my diet is necessary, and the anti aging diet just might be what I’m looking for.
