What products will help you stay young longer?

Each of us has two ages – passport age and biological age. The first indicates how many years have passed since our birth, and the second reflects the individual rate of aging. For example, if your passport is 40 years old, but all these years you have not eaten properly, had a sedentary lifestyle, smoked a lot, your biological age may be 10-12 years more.

And, on the contrary, if you ate right, led an active lifestyle and avoided bad habits, your biological age may be significantly less than the passport age.

Here are seven foods that can help you slow down aging.

Blueberries

This is a real treasure trove of antioxidants. The berry is almost at the top of the ORAC list (international classification that measures the antioxidant value of products).

Blueberries contain substances such as:

• phytoestrogens (plant hormones) – protect the heart and blood vessels (reduce “bad” cholesterol, delay the development of atherosclerosis);
• caffeic and chlorogenic acids – have a vaso-strengthening, urinary and choleretic effect;
• folic acid – prevents the appearance of malignant neoplasms;
• bioflavonoids – help normalize the activity of the thyroid gland and some others;
• pectin substances – prevent damage to the body of heavy metals and radioactive elements;
• vegetable fiber – improve the gastrointestinal tract.

In addition to antioxidants, blueberries are rich in vitamins C and K, which contribute to the regeneration of the skin.
