Eat Your Tomatoes.
Choose foods and dishes that contain tomatoes, avocados and walnuts. They literally seem to clean your arteries of plaque, and make you younger. Onions, garlic and a glass of red wine are great for your heart, too. It's starting to sound like a pretty tasty meal!
Spice It Up.
Spicy ingredients, like ones found in chili peppers, help open airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. Add salsa to baked potatoes to make a great "get younger" treat.
Control Blood Pressure by Going Nuts.
Potassium, magnesium, folate and flavonoids help you keep the most important factor in arterial aging low. The best foods are rich in these nutrients like nuts, orange juice, fish, and whole-wheat spaghetti with a marinara sauce.
Grab a Banana.
Potassium in bananas has been shown to help regulate blood pressure, which is the single most important factor in aging.
Eat Fiber - and Wash It Down.
Fiber does great things for your body and is critically important to digestive health. It contains no calories but makes you feel full, which helps control overeating. Both soluble and insoluble fibers are good for you. These foods can get you fiber quickly: oatmeal, Cheerios®, buckwheat cereal, artichokes, soybeans, lima beans, almonds and peanuts. Fiber is also found in grapefruit, oranges, grapes, raisins, dried fruit, sweet potatoes, peas, zucchini, and especially in whole-grain breads (it has to be whole-grain, not five-or six-grain bread to have enough fiber). And be sure to wash it down every day with 64 ounces of water (yes, water - not soft drinks, juice or coffee.)
Go Fish.
You should eat 3 portions of fish per week. It's high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to increase brain function, lower triglyceride levels, reduce blood pressure and stabilize the heartbeat. Some studies have suggested that eating fish once a week cuts your risk of a heart attack in half. The best fish (those with the least mercury and PCBs) are Salmon, Bass, Mahi Mahi, Catfish, Flounder (Sole), Tilapia and Whitefish.
Take the Almighty Aspirin.
Taking half of an aspirin a day (or 2 baby aspirin) can decrease the risk of getting colon cancer by 40 percent, the risk of arterial aging diseases like heart attacks by more than 30 percent. Take aspirin with a glass of warm water: it'll help dissolve the aspirin faster and decrease the risk of gastric side effects that occur when the aspirin lands directly on the stomach lining. Check with your doctor first. And while you're at it, be sure to take a multi-vitamin, too.
Safe Fun in the Sun.
The biggest enemy to your skin is the sun. Getting some sun exposure is important (10 to 20 minutes a day), but too much can cause big problems. Sunscreen isn't just for the beach. Use an SPF 30 or SPF 45 to protect your family's skin from harmful UV rays whenever you're enjoying the outdoors.
Get Moving.
You burn calories all the time - whether you're gardening, reading or cleaning. But you also need about 60 minutes a week of cardiovascular activities for optimum health. Walking just a few extra minutes a day lowers our bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises healthy cholesterol (HDL).
Be Strong.
Keep a set of medium-weight dumbbells by your bed. Do a couple of reps when you wake up and at night before bed.
Plan Ahead.
Even simple day trips run smoother with advance planning. Wherever you're headed, create a fun family itinerary with maps, brochures, contingency plans for bad weather, and more. You can have a major impact on your health by reducing stress in your life with exercise, friendships, group affiliations, laughing and meditation.
Floss.
Because of its ability to decrease inflammation in your gums and subsequently in your arteries, flossing will help you keep your heart pumping. Pressed for time? Then follow this rule: Floss only the teeth you want to keep!
