Written By Balvinder Kaur on Saturday, December 7, 2013 | 5:13:00 PM























want to stay as fresh and young as possible. Though there’s no way to turn the clock back, there are few age-proof strategies to make you stay looking good. Maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet is one approach, and other is foods that are thought to give you extra ammunition when it comes to combating the signs of ageing.

Green tea
There is no end to the benefits of this super drink; green tea
boasts a wealth of benefits that earns it the top spot in our antiaging
food list. Green tea is believed to help regulate blood pressure, lower blood sugar, boost the immune system, lower cholesterol and green tea can be effective at preventing cancer. That’s as close to the elixir of life as you can get.

Leafy greens
Eating greens is excellent for boosting the body’s immunity from illness. Spinach and other leafy foods like kale and collard are high in
folate which is vital in preventing DNA and blood vessel damage. If you can maintain a healthy circula-tory system you are reducing your risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia

Water
Few people drink sufficient water, and side effects of even slight dehydration include headaches, fatigue and low concentration levels. Yet increasing fluid intake can increase energy levels, aid digestion, give skin a boost and help boost your anti-ageing armoury. Water keeps your body’s organs hydrated and flushes out unhealthy toxins.
Concentrate on drinking little and often through

Dark chocolate
Who would have thought this sweet treat would feature in an anti-ageing list, but the good news is chocolate can help fight
against some signs of aging due to its cocoa content. Cocoa is rich in a group of antioxidants called Flavinoids which help preserve healthy function of the blood vessels. And healthy youthful circulatory system lowers risk of high blood pressure, type II diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

Yoghurt
‘Good’ bacteria are great for regulating the immune system, by increasing its antibodies and preventing the rise of pathogenic organisms like salmonella and E.coli. Many types of yoghurt include a high volume of ‘good’ bacteria that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness. Yoghurt is also rich in calcium, which can help stave off osteoporosis.
