How to Slow Down The Aging Process

Let’s face it we all want to live forever. Though that isn’t possible, there is a way that we can slow down the aging process. For years we have been following the American Standard Diet which is making us overweight and aging us far more quickly than we’d like to. I am going to suggest a few simple and some not-so-simple ideas on how to slow down the aging process.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. 
    
   So many fruit and vegetables!

   Begin eating a diet that is at least 50% fruit and vegetables. Eating this raw food can help us out tremendously in getting impurities out of our system.

2. 
    
   That chcolate bar looks good. Don't eat these so much.

   Reduce your caffeine intake. Eliminating coffee, black tea, and chocolate is the best way. Sorry.

3. 
    
   Party time!!

   Keep the alcohol to a bare minimum. Stop drinking all-together if you can help it. This also applies to smoking.

4. 
    
   It's a fun aisle to walk down though.

   NO PROCESSED FOODS. Forget about eating this stuff it is not healthy. The box is healthier than what is in it.

5. 
    
   Nevermind the eggs.

   Reduce your consumption of white foods. Bleached flour, iodized salt, white sugar, and pasta are among the list of white foods.

6. 
    
   Oh my! Which one do I choose?

   Lose the saturated fats, the cholesterol, and animal proteins. These are the bad fats that make us fat. An example is using butter in place of margarine. You may be surprised at how well it makes things taste, but keep it to a minimum as well.

7. 
    
   Tasty.

   Eat more cabbage and add olive oil, flaxseed oil, or rapeseed oil to your diet. Yogurt is good for you too. Try putting thyme and/or lavender in your cooking it’s believed to slow down the aging process. Let’s not forget our friends, the whole grains.

8. 
    
   I like this kind of snack.

   Try eating healthy snacks like nuts, plain popcorn, whole grain crackers, seeds, and of course, fruit and vegetables.

9. 
    
   I feel so bad eating this poor poor animal.

   And last but not least, try being a part time vegetarian, meaning that you should pick a few days out of the week to be a vegetarian. It works and is very beneficial to your heart and other
