HEALTH REPORT
2 superstar foods Green tea:
decline in older people, as well as a range of other age-related problems (including heart disease and inflammatory conditions), thanks to their ability to lengthen and preserve telomeres, tiny segments of DNA that are found in cells, and which ordinarily become shorter with age. Turmeric: for cellular health Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric, and research shows that it helps to slow ageing by protecting against cellular damage caused by inflammation and oxidation; it also positively affects tissue and collagen production and improves wound healing. Marine collagen: for skin health Collagen is the most abundant form of protein in the body, and it is necessary for the formation and maintenance of healthy skin and bones. Collagen gradually starts to break down as we age, causing wrinkle formation, dry and dull skin, and joint problems. This loss of collagen is worsened by lifestyle factors, such as a poor diet, especially an inadequate intake of protein foods, and smoking. Eating more protein-rich foods, such as eggs, tofu, fish, chicken and plant-based proteins like hemp, pea and soy will help, as well as taking a marine collagen supplement.
This is an especially
good source of antioxidant polyphenols, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),
which counter the effects of free radicals that are formed as a result of exposure to environmental toxins, UVB light and cigarette smoke, and are linked to neurological disorders, heart disease and other ageing-related problems. Flax seeds: These are a must- have food for women undergoing perimenopause or menopause, with numerous studies documenting the beneficial effects of flax seeds’ lignan and omega-3 fat content on reducing the risk of degenerative diseases of ageing.
