TEN FOODS FOR LONGEVITY by Dennis R. Buckley, DC
The results of several scientific studies suggest the following foods can help you live longer, and better.
TOMATOES -- These are a major source of the antioxidant lycopene, which reduces the risk of cancer by 40%-notably prostate, lung and stomach cancers-and increases the survival rate.
OLIVE OIL -- It is a major part of the Mediterranean diet, shown to help reduce death from heart disease and cancer. Heart attack survivors on the Mediterranean diet had half the death rates of those on ordinary low-fat diet, recent research shows.
RED GRAPES -- Moderate antioxidant power, but purple grape juice tops other juices in antioxidant activity.
NUTS -- Recent Harvard University research found that eating more than 5 ounces of nuts per week, cut heart attack deaths in women by 40% and prevented deadly irregular heartbeats in men.
WHOLE GRAINS -- Whole grains as opposed to refined processed grains, contain anti-cancer agents and help stabilize blood sugar and insulin, which may promote longevity.
SALMON AND OTHER FATTY FISH -- These contain omega-3 fatty acids that perform miracles throughout the body, fighting every chronic disease known. Fish high in omega-3 are sardines, mackerel, herring, and tuna.
BLUEBERRIES -- Very powerful in retarding aging in animals that they can block brain changes leading to decline and even reverse failing memory. The human equivalent is a half-cup of frozen or fresh blueberries a day.
GARLIC -- German researchers have found it has prolonged cancer survival time and extended animal lifespans by about 5%, which in humans is about four years.
SPINACH -- Rich in folic acid, which helps fight cancer, heart disease and mental disorders.
TEA -- Harvard researchers have found that drinking one cup of black tea a day cut heart disease risk in half.
These foods along with moderate, regular exercise, enough rest, proper posture, a great attitude towards life and a properly aligned spine and fully functioning nervous system will give you the best chance to live a health, happy, long life. Neglecting these areas will most certainly lead to an early demise and a less than optimization of health.
