FOODS OR DRINKS THAT CAN BOOST LONGEVITY.

I recommend the following foods and drinks when looking for a healthier and longer lifespan.

Cruciferous vegetables

Most cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, and cauliflower are nutrient-dense and can be taken cooked or raw to reap the potential health benefits. They contain minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and sulforaphane phytochemicals that can prevent the development of cancer tumors and body inflammation, aid in natural detoxification, lower heart disease risks, and boost the overall immune gearing towards a longer lifespan.

Nuts and seeds

 Adding nuts and seeds will provide the body with essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, phytosterols, minerals, and antioxidant properties needed for longevity. They also have a low glycemic index, aid in weight management, regulate calorie intake by lowering hunger feelings, and reduce risks of heart diseases and certain cancers.

Beans

Eating beans regularly adds up your starch and fiber levels. This can aid in lowering hunger feelings, stabilizing blood sugar, regulating cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of growth of cancer cells, and improving gut health, facilitating a better and longer life.

Red wine

Drinking 1 to 2 glasses of red wine daily can boost longevity. It’s packed with numerous bioactive ingredients such as resveratrol that lower heart diseases, delay cellular aging, and promote vascular immunity, prolong your lifespan. Other drinks are green tea and more water.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
