10 super foods that promote anti-aging

Superfoods" is a relatively new term that refers to foods that have

extremely high nutritional value. The common properties of a

superfood are:

• Usually plant-based.

• Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

• Usually low in calories.

• Have a very high nutritional density, meaning they may contain

the recommended daily intake of certain vitamins and minerals.

• Very high in antioxidants, substances that are known to

neutralize free radicals (energy by-products that can be very

harmful to the body). Free radicals can increase the risk of agerelated diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as

heart disease, respiratory ailments, stroke, and cancer.

• Although superfoods don't cure chronic diseases, they can

prevent them and alleviate some of their symptoms if they do

occur.
