Nice

I found the the Anti Aging foods informative. I learned many things about taking care of my skin and the foods I should eat on daily basis. I want to share the link to my facebook friends so they can also be aware of the foods to eat for anti aging. On my everyday market I will include those foods to eat like avocados, berries, etc.

Parsley and Ginger

Not together necessarily, but heaps of parsley has heaps of micronutrients and ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory which stimulates dopamine production. Feel good mentally and you can tackle the world.

how to stay young

Luckily, I already love most of the foods in this article. I plan to continue consuming them. But I have another thing I've recently discovered that I feel is working wonders for me. I think matol is something that should be considered for this list.

superfoods

I appreciate all the good foods that you have mentioned up there, except the chocolate. I doubt if one can get good chocolate that does not have lots of fats and sugar, for they make whatever they can sell well. Please think it over before you recommend it again. Thank you very much.

Not superfood but rich anti-oxidant

The women who have hot flash make her woke up in the mid night.The sweating around the upper portion and it felt not so easy but could not sleep well and next morning it become drowsy,and trembling.I always used the herbs and asking the older peoples knowledge how they passed their life with menopause.Go to clinic and discuss with doctor but for me was not better and try the herbs again.That herb is called Noni and it has rich anti-oxidant and it can make fall to sleep faster.It try to balance the seretonin and cool down the body temperature.I use noni daily and my health impoved and could stay in happy life.I wan to use for the women age of 50 plus but some are not accept .Believe it or not is their side but telling the truth is my side.I want all the people to be healthy with not spend much money on health.Some societies used strange technique to sell their medicine which actually is not much useful for health.Using the right diet of herb is harmless and suitable for everybody.

Few Get Enough of This

Would you like to increase your vertical leap? Well, I recommend some vitamin D. Did you know vitamin D is linked to muscle power in adolescent girls? Or has your tennis elbow been bothering you, even though you haven’t played tennis in 20 years? Is that weak knee from an old athletic injury been giving you more pain that it seems like it should, given the relatively light amount of stress you put on it? Do you have Blackberry thumb, cell phone elbow, mouse forefinger syndrome, or worse, the dreaded mouse pad wrist numbness? Or like me, have you simply had a shin splint since 2002 that recently appears to have morphed into a possible stress fracture, and which is taking longer than it seems like it should to heal? I now take about 10,000 IU’s of vitamin D per day, having diagnosed myself with osteomalacia (rickets for old folks [I’m 59]). I’ve been doing this for a little over 2 months, and the improvement in my aches and pains is remarkable.

watercress super foood

watercress should be added to the list. It's incredibly nutrient dense and packed with cancer fighting anti-oxidents. Human trials have found success in improving damaged dna cells in smokers and it's currently being tested as a replacement for tomoxaphan for breast cancer survivors. 1 cup supplies 22% of Vitamin A and 24% of Vitamin C RDA.

capsicum annum

capsicum annum (cayenne peppers) have a wonderful warming effect on the body making a coat seem unnecessary, they achieve this warming effect by dissolving mucus layers in the sinuses, mouth, eyes, blood and heart ultimately increasing blood flow to the extremities. along with its vascular stimulating properties it can kill parasites lodged in the intestines by making the body an ill-suited environment for parasites to live in. also it has a curious effect on the nervous system as a temporary pain reliever, when taken in sufficient doses, by depleting the pain receptors in nerve endings. but be careful when ingesting any form of this pepper because any amount can make your body become uncomfortably over heated, but this can be cured by drinking copious amounts of water, really if your dehydrated it will tell you very quickly.

More brilliant foods

Mmm, also blue-green algae from Lake Klamath, flax seed oil, hemp seeds (hulled only), bee pollen, sunflower and buckwheat soil-grown greens (i.e., you soak them, then grow them in 1" of soil until two leaves appear)--quite delicious and sooo good for you; all sprouts (alfalfa, etc.); fresh herbs: thyme, oregano, parsley, cilantro, etc.; garlic (magic healer!); coconut oil/butter (only oil that's not adulterated by heating); almonds; goji berries (fantastic); sea vegetables (packed with minerals we need) as is sea salt (the undried, unblanched kind which is wet and gray and full of essential minerals too -- unlike commercial salt which is not good...)
