Planner: Chinese Medical Association Reviewer: Chen Wei, Chief Physician, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences The key to an anti-aging diet is to eat foods that can resist free radical damage and slow down the aging process. Free radicals are one of the main causes of aging. They damage cells and lead to skin aging, decreased immunity and other problems. In order to fight free radicals, foods rich in antioxidants have become the focus of an anti-aging diet. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that promotes collagen production, maintains skin elasticity, and slows the appearance of wrinkles. Citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, and broccoli are all rich in vitamin C. Vitamin E also has a powerful antioxidant effect, which can protect cells from damage. Foods such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and olive oil are rich in vitamin E, which helps keep skin healthy and resist aging. In addition, carrots, pumpkins and other dark green vegetables are rich in beta-carotene, which can not only protect the skin from UV damage, but also improve immunity. Omega-3 fatty acids are also very important for fighting aging. Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as deep-sea fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, nuts and flax seeds can slow down the aging process caused by inflammation. Green tea is another recommended anti-aging drink. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in green tea helps fight aging and cancer, and drinking green tea every day can provide antioxidant protection. Foods rich in anthocyanins, such as blueberries, can also effectively fight aging and improve blood circulation and brain health. In short, an anti-aging diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, deep-sea fish, etc. These foods are rich in antioxidants, which can help slow down aging and maintain the body's health and vitality. |
