OLIVE OIL
Contains polyphenols, powerful antioxidants
that may help prevent age-related diseases. Also the monounsaturated fats in olive oil are largely responsible for
the low rates of heart disease and cancer.
YOGURT
Rich in calcium which helps stave off osteoporosis and contains 'good
bacteria' that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related
intestinal illness.
FISH
It is an abundant source
of omega-3 fats which help prevent cholesterol buildup in arteries and
protect against abnormal heart rhythms.
CHOCOLATES
Rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy
function of blood vessels. It also maintains youthful blood vessels which lowers risk
of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.
NUTS
Rich sources of unsaturated
fats which offer benefits similar to those associated with olive oil. They are also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals,
including antioxidants.
BLUEBERRIES
Compounds in blueberries (and
other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated
with age-related deficits in memory and motor function.
