Top Antiaging Diets

Ok, let’s continue our anti aging diet steps.

Here’s step 2.

2. The Okinawan diet

What the heck is the Okinawan diet you may ask?

Well, it’s been considered possibly the “healthiest diet in the world.” Why? Because the Okinawans have ½ of the heart disease rate of the US, and 1;5 of the cancer rates, as well as being the highest longevity.

And another thing, when Western doctors went there, they mistook 90 year olds as 60 year olds as they looked so young. They were trim and their skin were superb.

Have you seen the skin of a healthy Japanese woman? They have the best skin.

In a nutshell, the main components of the diet are:

1. Aim for 10 serves of vegetables a day.

Vegetables are packed with antioxidants.

2. Have 2-3 serves of omega 3 rich foods a day.

These would be fish such as salmon and sardines, or if you don’t like fish, have flax seed oil.

3. Have 2-3 serves of flavanoid rich foods a day.

These are foods with high flavanoids (an antioxidant) such as miso or tofu or tempeh, and beans and legumes.

4. Have 2-3 serves of calcium rich foods a day

Examples include foods such as yoghurt, soy milk or tofu.

5. Stop eating when you’re 80% full.

This is a good habit to get into as you’ll feel so much more energised after a meal.

So as you read through these diet tips, as well as the ones about the low Gi foods, you’ll see that they’re quite simple to follow.

None of them are processed foods, and so all you need is a few new recipes to enjoy them

An example meal:

Steamed Basmati rice

Atlantic salmon seared on the pan for a few minutes each side

Stir fried Chinese vegetables with garlic, ginger and soy sauce

Instant miso soup (or make your own with miso paste, bonito flakes, and dried seaweed, then add boiling water)

As you can see they are all antiaging foods.

They’re all low GI as well as include the antiaging foods from the Okinawan diet.

So enjoy, and feel the benefits right away of these antiaging diets.
