Click HERE to Find Out How You Can Stay Healthy
& Be Free From the Various Common Lifestyle Diseases
Our
government has been passing out conflicting health advice for the last few
decades, trying to keep up with new information.
So, you’re not alone if you’re confused about what to eat,
especially for long life.
We
were told to eat eggs, and then to
avoid eggs, and now to eat eggs...
Fat
was bad but now we’ve learned that there is good and bad fat.
Luckily
for us, we have actual research on longevity from studies spanning decades, and
we can uncover what centurions eat to live so long.
The
first step is throwing out the traditional food pyramid and instead eating a plant-based diet that’s half
vegetables and fruit.
With
that in mind, incorporate the following superfoods into your diet for long
life, and one you can enjoy!
Organic, whole
grain oatmeal and other whole grains
Carbs have gotten a bad
rap lately too.
But
that doesn’t mean you should go on the Atkins Diet. To the contrary, it’s made
people sick to completely cut carbs.
Carbs
provide needed energy.
If
you eat the Standard American Diet, you’ll get too many simple carbs that cause
problems.
However,
oatmeal is a fiber rich grain that regulates
cholesterol.
It
contains beta-glucan, which reduces
LDL,
or “bad” cholesterol, and oatmeal even blocks
cholesterol from entering your bloodstream.
Whole
grains reduce
the risk of heart disease, type
2 diabetes,
obesity, and stroke.
Skip
the sugary oatmeal that comes in packs with dried fruit or “one-minute
oatmeal”. Buy whole grain oatmeal.
Groats
are another option but need to cook for much longer. They’re the hulled kernel
of the grain so they have the bran portion and endosperm, which is the part we
get when we buy cut oats.
Steel
cut oats, or Irish Oats, are groats cut a few times with steel blades, so you
get all the goodness and nutrition that you do from groats.
Oatmeal
lowers
cholesterol,
extends life, and makes a great base for adding other superfoods like maple
syrup, honey, blueberries, fruit, nuts, and seeds.
Alternate
your breakfasts with oatmeal and eggs for a great start to your day.
Organic, free
range eggs
Eggs
actually help your cholesterol by improving
your good HDL levels.
Eggs
help regulate
blood sugar
according to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition.
The
study found that middle-aged and older men who ate 4 eggs a week had lower
blood sugar,
and a 38% lower
risk of diabetes than those who ate only one egg a week.
We’re
learning that eggs from free range chickens are packed with even more omega 3 fats and other good
nutrients than eggs from caged hens.
You
can actually raise your own hens in most cities, which often allow up to 4 or 6
hens. (No roosters for obvious reasons!)
Chickens
are fun and entertaining pets that provide eggs once they’re about 6 months
old.
You
can see the difference in color when you crack open a free range chicken egg,
and the flavor is amazing too.
If
you’ve had trouble peeling a fresh egg, try this method:
Put
eggs in water so they’re covered and bring to a boil.
While
waiting, fill a bowl with ice cubes and water.
Boil
the eggs for exactly 15 minutes, and then spoon them into the ice water.
Wait
half an hour and the egg shells will slide off.
To
make deviled eggs into a super food, mix the hardboiled egg yolks with avocado
and your favorite spices before returning to the cooked egg whites.
Brightly colored
fruit and vegetables
All
fruits and vegetables are good for you,
but brightly colored produce is even more beneficial because the natural
pigments prevent
and fight cancer.
Okinawans
have the world’s longest life expectancy and very low
rates of heart disease and cancer.
They
have a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially the
dark green and yellow varieties.
They
eat large quantities of sweet potatoes, which they’ve actually used instead of
the traditional Japanese staple of rice.
You
can slice sweet potatoes into stir fries, make sweet potato fries, bake them,
or add them to a root bake with parsnips, carrots, and potatoes.
Red
and orange bell peppers have powerful
antioxidants.
They’re
also an excellent source of vitamin
A,
vitamin C, and vitamin B6.
Red
bell peppers contain phytochemicals and carotenoids, which are antioxidants
that have anti-inflammatory properties.
All
berries are extremely healthy and promote long life.
They’re
packed with antioxidants that protect
against cancer, boost
our immune system, guard the liver and brain, and reduce
the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Berries
have 50 times more antioxidants than animal-based foods!
Blueberries,
a famous superfood, are full of antioxidants, which fight aging, disease, and inflammation.
Hot Peppers
You’re
in luck if you like spicy food!
A
Chinese study found that people who ate spicy food 3 to 5 days a week reduced
their risk of dying by 15%.
A
study published in PLOS One analyzed data from more than 16,000 Americans from
a span of 19 years.
This
study found that hot red chili pepper consumption was associated with a 13%
lower risk of death.
The
key ingredient is the capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and
boosts your metabolism.
Many
studies suggest that capsaicin may act as an anti-obesity, antioxidant,
anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and antimicrobial.
Oily fish
Eskimos
have a very high fat diet, yet they’re extremely healthy due to the fat source
from oily fish.
People
in Japan have the longest life expectancy in the world, thanks to their
traditional diet which is high in fish.
Eating
more fish reduces your red meat intake, and that also reduces
your risk for heart disease while offering a wealth of health
benefits.
Oily
fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout are a good source of
vitamins A and D, which are good
for the immune system.
Many
people eating the Standard American Diet ingest high levels of omega 6, which
isn’t a good thing, and don’t get enough omega 3s that we get from fish.
The
high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish have been linked to a lowered
risk of heart disease, brain damage, and stroke.
The
DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, in fish combats
Alzheimer’s Disease because the DHA slows down the progression of the
disease.
Nuts
Almonds
are rich in fiber, protein, and heart-healthy
fats.
A
study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that
those who ate the most nuts had a lower risk of dying of any disease,
especially cancer, heart
disease,
or respiratory disease.
They
also contain high levels of monounsaturated fats so they lower
bad cholesterol.
Walnuts
might also prevent
cognitive decline. A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s
Disease found that eating walnuts helped memory.
Avocados
The
heart-healthy monounsaturated fats in avocados lower
bad cholesterol and fight
heart disease.
A
study published in the journal Cancer Research found that molecules
in avocados targeted stem cells of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is an
aggressive cancer that kills 90 percent of people who are diagnosed over the
age of 65.
Other
studies found that eating avocado helps you slim down, actually helping to lower
belly fat.
Chia seeds
One
secret to long life is getting enough fiber in your diet. Fiber is key to
suppressing your appetite and keeping
blood sugar low.
Chia
seeds are surprisingly full of fiber with a whopping 11 grams in just two
tablespoons.
These
seeds also lower
your risk of heart disease and type
2 diabetes,
according to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
People
who increased their dietary fiber intake significantly lowered their risk of
death.
Add
chia seeds to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, and salads.
And
start small when adding more fiber to your diet so your body can adjust. That
helps prevent
gas!
Herbs and spices
One
of the best things you can do for your health is to grow your own garden full
of vegetables and herbs.
If
space is limited, you can grow a container garden.
Herbs
can be grown in a window box, or a large planter with openings on the sides.
Using
fresh basil, cilantro, rosemary, and other herbs gives you the benefits of
eating fresh, leafy vegetables and all the benefits of eating herbs. They also
add a lot of flavor.
Turmeric is an
anti-inflammatory that improves
many diseases and conditions.
Cinnamon,
a common spice we all love, also treats
disease.
Herbs
benefit your health weather they’re dried or fresh. Remember to buy organic if
you’re not growing your own.
Non tropical
vegetable oils like olive, peanut, avocado, and sesame seed oil
The Mediterranean
Diet boosts
the immune systems and lowers
bad cholesterol and blood pressure, largely due to the use of olive
oil.
It’s better to cook with non-tropical oils than traditional
oils, but you’ll get even more health benefits by using healthy oils raw.
Use oil in your salads or even add a teaspoon to a smoothie.
For
optimal health and an extended life, jot down these superfoods and make them a
regular part of your diet.
