Food Choices for Vitality and Longevity

Mushrooms

The benefits of mushrooms range from improving brain health to enhancing the immune system and lifting mood and helping with chronic diseases, including cancer. Don’t you think a diet plan with mushrooms is good medicine?

Broccoli Sprouts

As a holistic practitioner, I discovered broccoli sprouts are one of the best anti-aging foods. Broccoli sprouts are high in sulforaphane (SFN), a bioactive compound harboring antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant properties. You can tell broccoli sprouts are another elixir of health.

Matcha Green Tea

Matcha green tea is loaded with catechins, types of polyphenols that work against type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. To get more from matcha green tea, I strongly advise integrating it with lemon, turmeric, or ginger. The three have compounds that optimize the absorption of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), one of the most known catechins found in matcha green tea.

Nutritionist, Cornell University, MS

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
