Most supermarkets stock more than 35,000 items, however every time we shop, we toss same 25 foods into our cart. Which isn’t such a bad thing, as long as you’re taking home the right foods–ones that will keep you healthy.
Why would you even want to consider making the effort to include healthy food in your diet?
Because foods rich in certain nutrients can reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer and prevent premature aging!
Aging, and diseases that occur more frequently with advancing age, are caused by structural damage to cells. This damage accumulates in tiny amounts each time the cell divides, eventually preventing the cell from carrying out normal functions.
One cause of this damage is from free radicals, which are chemical compounds found in the environment and also generated by normal chemical reactions in the body.
Free radicals are thought to greatly increase the severity of—or perhaps even cause—such life-shortening diseases as diabetes mellitus, strokes, and heart attacks. Increasing human life span may depend on our ability to prevent free radical damage. Chemical compounds called antioxidants play a role in preventing and possibly reversing oxidative damage in the aging process.
I’ve created a list of foods that will help you build your diet around the most powerful, disease-fighting, nutrient-dense, muscle-growing “super foods”.
