We get old every day. So, I always want to find a way to make myself look younger and healthier.

Recently, I have read an article talking about anti-aging. I find it very useful and would like to share it with you. The author said that a lot of foods that we had been told were good for us may cause degeneration.

This is what the article said:

Foods which usually cause degeneration and aging are:

• High levels of carbohydrate
• Sugar
• Milk (especially homogenized milk) and cheese
• Caffeine - Including Tea, Coffee, chocolate, cola, chuppa chups
• Chocolate (it contains dangerous levels of lead!)
• Cigarettes
• White flour
• Microwaved food
• Chemicals such as flouride (which is a rat poison)
• Artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame / nutrasweet)
• Alcohol
• Processed foods
• Artificial Colorings (as in Gatorade)
• Additives
• Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
• Preserved meat
• Moderate to high levels of meat
• Meat from animals on unnatural diets (eg pork)
• Margarine
• Vegetable oil
• Canola oil
• Cotton seed oil
• Olestra
• Hydrogenated oils
• Oil that is not cold pressed / expeller pressed (use olive oil, butter or ghee)
• Deep fried foods
• Chips / French fries
• Puffed grains
• Soy products other than soy sauce, miso and tofu (eg soy milk & soy oil)
• Meat and eggs raised by `normal’ methods which have many toxins and hormones.
• Seafood which are garbage eaters (eg oysters)
• Foods with high levels of mercury. This includes most fish, such as tuna.
• Aluminium. Especially from aluminium cookware.
• Genetically Modified Food (GMOs). At present this is about 50% of all soy and corn. Even organic soy and corn can have GMOs in it unless otherwise stated.

Foods which can help regeneration and anti-aging include

• RAW nuts, seeds, soaked and sprouted grains
• Almonds, especially if they have been soaked in water for 24 hours (’sprouted’)
• Fruit and vegetables especially sprouts
• Green leafy vegetables
• Lentils - learn Indian cooking to make them interesting
• Beans that have been soaked for 8 hours. (That is, ’sprouted’. This makes them alkaline)
• Brown rice that has been soaked for 22 hours. This makes it alkaline
• Organic Cottage cheese and yogurt. They are alkalline. The bacteria has changed the original milk.
• GOJI JUICE - Possibly the best anti-aging substance in the world.
• Super Food
• Seeds
• Bee Pollen (not for everyone-some are allergic to pollen from some areas)
• Kambucha
• Celtic sea salt
• Spirulina
• Seaweed
• Wheatgrass juice
• Barley greens
• Aloe vera
• Antioxidants (eg vitamin C, vitamin E, pycnogenols, coenzyme Q10)
• Olive oil
• Evening primrose oil
• MSM (organic sulphur)
• Foods with omega 3 fatty acids (eg flaxseed oil) and
• Foods with omega 4 & 5 fatty acids (eg evening primrose and fish oil).
• Gentle sunlight (vitamin D)
• Gentle exercise.
• A good night’s sleep every night, average at least eight hours every day. Lack of sleep is CUMULATIVE.
• And most importantly of all: Fulvic Liquid Minerals!!!!

I am not sure if what this article said is right or not. Actually, before I read it, I have already heard that most of the foods listed in the section for foods causing degeneration and aging were bad for us and that most of the foods listed in the section for foods helping regeneration and anti-aging were quite good for us. So, I would guess that at least 80% of the article is correct.
