Top 3 Weight Loss and Anti-Aging Foods

Micro inflammation accelerates both weight gain and premature aging and food is a huge factor in causing inflamation. If the inflammation is in the arteries we end up with cardiovascular disease and if the inflammation is in the skin we end up with accelerated aging. Once we understand this the next question is what type of therapeutic intervention can we do to interrupt micro inflammation?

An anti inflammatory diet is the first an most important step.

Salmon

Powerful Inflammatory

Salmon contains high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are crucial for building the cell membrane, we need Omega 3 fatty acids to make our cells healthy. Omega 3 acts as a natural anti-inflammatory in the body, it decreases our risk of heart disease, it makes our brains work better, and it even elevates our mood.

Salmon also contains the very powerful antioxidant astaxanthan which is responsible for the pink color of salmon. Astaxanthan is about 100 times stronger than vitamin e.

Blueberries

Strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory

Tufts University analyzed 60 fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant capability. Blueberries came out on top, rating highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals. Blueberries contain phytonutrients called anthocyanidins which literally neutralize free radical damage to our cells and tissues.

Green Tea

"The absolute miracle"

Green tea contains large amounts of anti-inflamitories. Green tea is healthy because it reduces inflammation which also helps us lose weight.

Coffee does just the opposite.

It's not just the caffeine in coffee that's unhealthy, coffee also contains organic acids that can throw off blood sugar and insulin.

If you take away coffee and just add green tea in most cases and if you do nothing else there is usually a 6-10 pound weight loss in 4 - 6 weeks.
