How to Slow Down aging Process
In this section of Seattle Organic Restaurants, I’m going to talk about tips on how to slow down aging process. Growing old is inevitable, but why not slow down aging process and age gracefully?Well-balanced-diet
A well balanced diet is a diet that includes raw fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts, whole grains and protein (wild salmon). Make sure to consume less animal products (dairy products and red meat) and eat more kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, seeds, nuts, wholegrain and fruits like berries, papaya, maca, pineapple, mango and noni. Avoid processed foods and sugary beverages.
Most processed foods have MSG, high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring and flavoring, chemicals and caffeine that can damage your body cells.
Include herbs and spices in your diet
Herbs such as garlic, onion, astragalus and echinacea can help to boost the immune system. Inflammation is the root of many chronic diseases in the body. Licorice root is a great anti-inflammatory and anti-allergen. Consume green tea (superantioxidants Yogi green tea is my favorite) that are anti-cancerous and high in antioxidant. Wild yam is full of steroids that are rejuvenating and can reduce the fat and build muscles in the body. Ginseng and bilberry can improve brain function, protect the eyes, increase circulation and enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to you.

Foods that are high in antioxidants, bioflavonoids, phytochemicals and micronutrients can slow down aging process and reduce the accumulation of free radicals in the body. Animal products and processed foods that contain GMOs, antibiotics, hormones, high fructose corn syrup, genetically modified soy, artificial coloring and flavor, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers can increase the accumulation of free radicals and accelerate aging. Reduce your salt and sugar intake; avoid caffeine and red meat and cut down all white stuff like white bread, white sugar, white flour, and white rice.Consume steamed-distilled Water
At least two thirds of our body is made of water.You shouldn’t necessary drink when you’re thirsty. Drink before you get thirsty. Drinking water can filter and clean your body from accumulation of toxins and chemicals and promote weight loss. People who do not drink water often get dehydrated. The symptoms of dehydration are headaches, fatigue, cracked lips, overall discomfort and dry nasal passages.
Detoxify and cleanse your body
Cleansing diet is critical for getting rid of free radicals, toxins and heavy metals in the body. Increase your intake of water. Lemon fast diet is one of the best ways to cleanse your body. This diet simply includes one glass of water, one freshly squeezed organic lime and a spoon of organic maple syrup. Lemon fast diet can help to cleanse your colon and get rid of toxins and free radicals. Having a green smoothie (full of fiber and enzymes) can help to cleanse your body. Get extra fiber by eating fresh fruits and vegetables, oats, bran and whole grain every day. Colon cleansing is one of the most effective ways to prevent colorectal cancer.Exercise on a Regular Basis
Regular Exercise can slow down aging process by increasing the amount of oxygen and nutrients delivered to different organs in the body. Exercising can overcome health conditions like cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and arthritis. Keep in mind that swimming is a great exercise for people who have arthritis since it provides low-impact workout without putting pressure on the joints. Exercising can also help to release endorphin and fight depression, anxiety and obesity.
Do not smoke and eliminate drinking alcohol or sugary beverages
If you are smoker, you are putting yourself and the ones around you in danger of harmful chemicals. Limit your alcohol consumption; however a glass of red wine occasionally is good for the heart. Avoid all kinds of soft or energy drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup that can damage the body cells.Avoid stress and anxiety and get sufficient sleep
Practice yoga and meditation that can help you relax and not worry about every minuscule thing in your life. Get enough hours of sleep and avoid eating late at night to sleep better.
Do not use deodorants, makeup, creams, lotions and soaps that contain chemicals
I have a philosophy that if you can’t eat it, you shouldn’t use it on your skin. Keep in mind that whatever you put on your skin gets absorbed through your skin. Use creams, makeup and lotions that contain nutrients and natural ingredients. Did you know that most lipsticks have lead on them? Wear organic sunscreen and be aware that exposing your skin to the sun can promote exposure to free radicals. Stay out of the sun and wear natural lotions and oils that have antioxidants and nutrients.
