Antiaging Nutrition Information & Advice

It has been said that the best thing you can do to delay aging is to keep your body weight at a normal level. Since the United States in undergoing an obesity epidemic right now, this doesn’t bode well for the future, at least from an antiaging nutrition standpoint.

There are many diets available, most of which work quite well if you stick to them.

But that is usually the problem with diets. Long term maintenance is very difficult because restrictive diets are unnatural; they limit foods that are deemed bad for you. But at some point, you will need to get off the restrictive diet and adhere to a more balanced eating plan for the rest of your life.

Are there diets that help your antiaging efforts? There are some experts who claim there are.

The benefits of antioxidants are well known. While it is questionable whether they help when applied to the skin as a cream or lotion, there is no doubt of the benefits they create when ingested. As a matter of fact, perfect antiaging nutrition is a diet rich in antioxidants.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, author of several books, including The Perricone Prescription : A Physician's 28-Day Program for Total Body and Face Rejuvenation and The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin is a big believer in antioxidants.

He believes that fruits such as blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are loaded with antioxidants which can save cells from premature aging.

Studies have shown that blueberries are especially good antiaging nutrition, improving short term memory, balance and coordination.

Other foods that can help slow down aging are brown rice wheat bran, almonds and peanuts, all of which contain high concentrations of magnesium: and certain fish such as salmon, tuna or mackerel, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Also drink a lot of water to hydrate the skin.

If you prefer to take supplements, make sure you follow the instructions and take the recommended daily dosages.
