Fish - Most (wild) fish is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 has health benefits like anti-aging properties, skin improving properties, and cancer preventing properties. Wild fish is also full of vitamin D. Vitamin D is a major immune system booster, and it allows for calcium to be absorbed into the body. Because women are more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, it is important that Women consume more vitamin D. Calcium is useless without vitamin D. More benefits of omega-3s include a reduced risk of breast cancer, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and improved brain function.

Broccoli - The main health benefit of broccoli is that it is an amazing cancer preventing food. It has the ability to neutralize carcinogens that are cancer threats, and they help get rid of cancer-causing toxins by stimulating detoxifying enzymes. One compound found in broccoli has been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer as well as stop the spread of existing cancer. Broccoli is full of folate, a crucial nutrient for pregnant women that helps fetal development and protects against birth defects. Broccoli is also a natural mood booster. Depression is twice as common in women than men and the folate in broccoli has been linked to help fight depression by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Broccoli can also help with PMS symptoms. Broccoli is a diuretic that helps to reduce bloating in women.

Red Meat - Red meat is full of Iron. The main function of iron is to help transport oxygen via the blood stream and distribute it throughout the body. Its really important that women incorporate iron into their diet because they experience monthly blood loss. Iron can be found in other foods such as eggs, oatmeal, and spinach.

Onions - The health benefits from onions are outstanding. Onions are naturally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and are a natural blood thinner. Onions are rich in chromium, fiber, and vitamin C, and they also contain vitamin B6 which helps with improving mood, manganese, tryptophan, folate, and potassium.

Health experts believe that omega-3 fatty acids are one of the most important nutrients that is missing from the average American’s diet. This omega-3 deficiency has been extensively studied and may be the reason why there are so many of us suffering from heart disease, cancers, and brain disorders. It has even been discovered that when a proper amount of omega-3 is regularly present in the body, these diseases and disorders tend to become less severe, and sometimes vanish completely.

Anti-Aging

New research shows that omega-3s slow down the cell-aging process. This means that omega-3 fatty acids can protect against skin aging on a cellular level, making your skin appear younger and healthier. By incorporating more fish into your diet or using omega-3 supplements, you can slow down the aging process and feel a healthy, more energetic glow.

Acne and Skin Disorders

Omega-3 fish oil is a natural inflammatory substance. One of the main characteristics of acne is that it causes red, swollen spots on the skin. A a balanced, regular intake of omega-3 will help lessen the severity of the acne inflammation and reduce the look of acne and other skin disorders related to inflammation. In addition, the Omega-3 fish oils will improve the look of hair and nails.

Mental health problems

People who have mental imbalances such as depression, anxiety, mood swings, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, Alzheimer’s disease, ADHD and ADD have been linked to a deficiency in omega-3 fats. Omega-3 fatty acids can naturally improve the function and balance of hormones in your body.

Cancer

Although it seems like Omega-3 can do anything, it cannot cure cancer, but increased intakes of omega-3 fats have been found to help fight against and help prevent cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and ovarian cancer. More studies are currently being conducted in this area.

We’re Not Built To Last

Filed under: Uncategorized, age, aging, anti-aging, elderly, older, skin, skin care — John @ 1:27 pm

For some reason the idea of prolonging life has been fascinating to humans since very early on in our history. Ancient Chinese herbalists attempted to extend their lives and were even rumored to have lived for hundreds of years. Yet, even now we see many of these different ways to “avoid” growing old. Some people simply see aging as an appearance obstacle and purchase all these wrinkle creams in hopes that they can look youthful forever. Others try some of the most ludicrous things in attempts to prolong their lives for as long as possible.

My opinion on the matter of extending life is perhaps best told in the words of another. Sara Myers from the Silverplanet blog wrote, “I understand wanting to live a healthier, happier, more meaningful life, but living to 125 or 150, just for the sake of living long, doesn’t make sense to me.”

The one thing I have always wondered is why? Why does someone want to live for 150 years, or 200 years, or forever. Living forever really isn’t as appealing once you really think it through. Just because you can live that long doesn’t mean you won’t stop aging. Prolonging your life just means your body has more time to degrade and slowly die.

However, living forever without aging is much worse. Why? Well, could you imagine what your life would be like. You will have to watch everyone you love, have loved, or will love die as you continue to go on forever, unchanged by time. If you are religious and believe in some sort of heaven, paradise, or rebirth, you will quickly realize that none of that is achievable. You will see wars lost and won, creation and destruction, possibly the end of the human race. You won’t ever really be able to make a significant connection with anyone else because for you they will come and go and be forgotten. I don’t really think it is worth it.

Why can’t we just try to live however long we have to its fullest instead of just trying to live long just so we can say we have? Maybe we’re scared of the unknown or unsure of where we’ll go. Either way I’m going to take my chances and accept the fact that we’re not built to last.
