Top foods to keep you young

Most of us are keen to stay looking as fresh and young as possible, and although there's no way to pause or turn back the clock, there are few age-proof strategies we can employ to make sure we stay looking good. Maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet is one approach, and the good news is that there are some foods that are thought to give you extra ammunition when it comes to combating the signs of aging.

Green tea
There is no end to the benefits of this super brew; green tea boasts a wealth of benefits that earns it the top spot in our anti-aging food list. Green tea is believed to help regulate blood pressure, lower blood sugar, boost the immune system, lower cholesterol and studies have even shown that green tea can be effective at preventing cancer. That's as close to the elixir of life as you can get.

Leafy greens
Whilst eating spinach won't be enough to turn you into Popeye, it's certainly excellent for boosting the body's immunity from illness. Spinach and other leafy foods like kale and collard are high in folate which is vital in preventing DNA and blood vessel damage. If you can maintain a healthy circulatory system you are reducing your risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

Dark chocolate
Who would have thought this sweet treat would feature in an anti-aging list, but the good news is chocolate can help fight against some signs of aging due to its cocoa content. Cocoa is rich in a group of antioxidants called Flavinoids which help preserve healthy function of the blood vessels. And healthy youthful circulatory system lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia. Don't fill your boots though, a square a day is a good guide and make sure you go for the over 70% cocoa stuff.

Soy products
Like fish, soy products such as tofu are also a great alternative source of protein than red meat or even dairy, since they have little or no saturated fat. A diet that's low in saturated fat will reduce your risk of developing heart disease and lower blood pressure. As a staple part of the Japanese diet, soy products are great at helping keep down cholesterol and are a useful addition to a healthy diet.

Yogurt
Judging from their frequently bad press, you might assume that all forms of bacteria are out to get you. Thankfully, this couldn't be further from the truth. 'Good' bacteria is great for regulating the immune system, by increasing its antibodies and preventing the rise of pathogenic organisms like salmonella and E.coli. Many yoghurts include a high volume of 'good' bacteria that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness. Yogurt is also rich in calcium, which can help stave off osteoporosis.

Ingat tak bagaimana ia bermula...

Terima kasih kerana melayari http://sallehfauzi.blogspot.com/

Isu natrah di Singapore bagaimana ia bermula.Isu perang kaum 13 mei 1969 bagaimana bermula. Dan apa agaknya isu video clip namewee akan bersudah? Perang dan keluar darah, berlaku kematian dan ada sedikit kerosakan pada hati dan pada harta benda awam?

Setiap cerita ada permulaan dan plot-plot itu tentu kerana rasa tidak puas hati. Jika isu kematian di Kampong Medan Selangor ditakuti orang, kenapa isu yang hampir serupa tidak ditangani? Isu kebolehan En Wee Meng Chee, pemuda dari Johor, berkelulusan Universti dari Taiwan memang hebat, selalu sahaja video clipnya mendapat pasaran panas.

Dia tidak dapat ditahan polis kerana konon jenayah multimedia, dan kes multimedia di bawah kuasa Kementerian Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan. Dalam kementerian yang dua tiga tahun wujud ini tidak ada manusia yang mampu menangani masalah. Menterinya sudah letih bercakap, tetapi pegawai bahawahan tidak ada. Tidak ada kuasa macam polis.

PERKASA, pertubuhan NGO yang garang, cuba menyalakan api yang disediakan oleh En Wee Meng Chee, yang mendapat perlidungan MCA kononnya budak ini menyelesaikan isu perkauman dengan menyediakan beribu-ribu batang mancis. Jika batang mancis ini dikutip akan menyalakan api dengan minyak-minyak petrol pada hati nurani mereka yang terasa.

Jika berlaku kejadian berdarah, yang untung siapa? Kerajaan mungkin akan istiharkan darurat, dan semua kegiatan politik akan digantung. Mereka yang jadi mancis dan kaki bakar akan ditahan oleh ISA. Parti pembangkang mungkin terlepas sebab di belakang mereka akan mungkin disokong orang luar. Kerajaan Malaysia mungkin tidak mampu nak menjawab permintaan sahabat-sahabat dari ahli-ahli PBB.

Oleh yang dekimikian kemanakah anak-anak bumi ingin menyelamatkan diri, adakah ada negara lain yang memberi tempat contohnya boleh kah mereka mendatang ke mekah atau ke mana, sedangkan orang-orang Palestin sendiri menangis setiap hari kena bom oleh Israel, tidak dapat diselamatkan oleh saudara-saudara arabnya. Begitu juga dengan mereka di Selatan Siam dan Mindanao Philipina.
