Powerful Foods That Can Enhance Quality Of Life And Increase Health

Would you like to have a longer and more fruitful life? If so, please do not fall for all the snake oil solutions out there.

In reality, increasing both length and quality of life does not happen overnight. Rather, what’s needed here are changes to your daily routine that over time will compound and have tremendous effects.

The bottom line is that we don’t age overnight, thus expecting to reverse aging from one day to the next is not reasonable.

So, without further delay, here are some super-foods that can help you live longer:

1. Walnuts: Not all nuts are created equal, although most of them do have healthy fat. The good thing about walnuts is that they have high amounts of omega-3 fats. Just make sure to keep them in a refrigerated environment since omega-3 fats can become rancid very quickly at room temperatures.

2. Organic cocoa: Harvard researchers found that an indigenous sector of a population drinking cocoa had less heart disease than the same population not drinking cocoa. The key here is to stay away from the commercial formulations as they tend to be loaded with sugar and fat.

3. Animal omega-3’s: You can get omega-3’s from plant sources. However, animal sources are more readily absorbed by the human body. Thus, for maximum effect I recommend marine sources such as wild salmon, unprocessed oysters and wild sardines. All of the above have the highest amounts of omegas with the smallest (negligible) amounts of toxins.

4. Spirits: Alcohol, specifically red wine, does a great job at making your arteries more pliable-a good thing. The main issue here, however, is that once you go over one glass you are going to get a negative return on your drinking. So keep the red wine under strict tabs.

The best way to increase health and lifespan is to be patient. Don’t expect wonder drugs, instead, make changes every single day that over time will have a tremendous impact on your health.

And don’t wait too long to take action on this information. If you do, you might forget what you have learned!
