We are what we eat. What we eat reflects on our skin and body. First develop a regular eating habit
like eating at a proper time. Include lot of raw vegetables and fruits in your diet. Avoid junk food and
fried food. Sugar makes you look older, so you can substitute sugar with honey and fruits. Include
five servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Red, yellow, orange, fruits and vegetables and
greens are rich in antioxidants which helps us to delay aging. Green tea is rich in antioxidant and also
strengthens our resistance against diseases. Include almonds, olive oil (use it as a cooking medium)
fenugreek, in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and helps to slow down the aging process. As
we grow older, we must stick to simple and easily digestible food. One can observe fasting to detoxify
oneself after consulting the doctor. People who eat a nutritious diet remain younger, tend to age
slower, look trim, healthier and are more active than others.
