Prolongs youth and reduces weight: effective anti-aging diet named

0

Including foods that affect the work of genes in the daily diet helps to prolong the youth of the body.

This is reported in the material of NV. As journalists noted, the first to declare that food products can influence the work of genes was the American dermatologist Nicholas Perricone.

He argued that genetic settings within the body are not constant, but are subject to modification throughout life. The most important way to influence them is what a person eats.

According to Perricone's principles, useful products are:

Dark chocolate

This is chocolate with the highest cocoa content. The latter contains procyanidins-b2, an antioxidant that helps protect the body from various infections. This substance is also good for the skin.

Salmon

Perricone shares the view of most nutritionists that salmon and other cold-water fish should be eaten regularly.

Cinnamon

These spices regulate blood sugar levels, improve brain function and increase concentration.

Perricone also claims that the antioxidants in cinnamon can reduce the risk of melanoma.

Mushrooms

Some types of mushrooms have beneficial effects on the immune system, improve metabolism and strengthen the liver, Perricone emphasizes.

Shiitake mushrooms in particular contain many beneficial antioxidants. The popular chanterelles are rich in selenium, which is extremely beneficial for the kidneys and genitourinary system.

In addition, most types of mushrooms are rich in vitamin D, so they are useful for people who rarely go out in the sun.

Watercress

It's all about the antioxidants in this salad. They boost the immune system's ability to fight infections and harmful substances, and oxidize free radicals, which are the main agents of aging in the body.

In addition, water vegetables are a natural diuretic – a diuretic that can remove harmful salts from the body.

Sage seeds

It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which literally turn on the body's rejuvenation genes. In addition, the seeds contain a high concentration of vitamin E and calcium, which is necessary for the structure of bone tissue.

Green tea

Green tea varieties are rich in catechins – natural antioxidants that prevent aging and promote weight loss, slowing down the absorption of excess fat in the body.

Some studies show that green tea is a serious “switch” for genes that can protect the body from cancer. For example, breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.

Green tea also rejuvenates the skin and improves brain function, Perricone is convinced.

Red wine

The only alcoholic beverage that is recommended for regular consumption. It's all about resveratrol – an active enzyme that slows down the deposition of fat in the body by blocking fat cell receptors.

In addition, resveratrol, according to some recent studies, is able to prevent many diseases of the cardiovascular system and even cancer.

Ginger

It contains essential oils that stimulate the production of gastric juice and improve digestion. Due to this, the body spends more energy and burns fat cells.

Grapefruit

The power of this fruit is not only and not so much in the high content of vitamin C, but in its ability to regulate insulin levels in the blood.

It should be noted that, according to Perricone, when forming a diet, it is important to think not about the number of calories, but about the benefits of nutrients contained in food.

A proper diet, as he claimed, allows rejuvenation genes to work even at the age when they usually turn off.

As noted by American nutritionist Brunilda Nazario, a diet based on Perricone's ideas does not contradict the principles of modern dietology and is quite justified.

This way of eating does not involve serious restrictions on products. He only suggests focusing on the regular consumption of certain foods that help the body fight aging.
