Health and longevity, what are the maintenance secrets?

Secret 1: "nutritious, low-calorie" diet. A "nutritious, low-calorie" diet is the only method that has been proved to be effective in delaying aging and prolonging life. Don't eat more than 2200 kilocalories of nutritious food every day. The average daily calorie intake of longevity population in five longevity areas is 1632 kcal, which is equivalent to 74.5% of that of ordinary elderly people. Okinawa people in Japan are considered as the best model of low-calorie diet, with an average daily intake of only about 1300 to 1500 kcal. As a reminder, a low-calorie diet is not suitable for children because they are growing up. You can eat a low-calorie diet after the age of 20.

Tip 2: Eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Eat 5 ~ 10 portions of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and eat different colors of food every meal to get enough anti-aging antioxidants, so that they can work together to inhibit free radicals that make people aging.

Tip 3: Eat more raw food. Eat raw food, because they contain more nutrients than cooked food, including vitamins, minerals, cellulose and enzymes. If heated, 100% of the enzyme will be killed. In order to maintain life, there are thousands of biochemical reactions in the human body anytime and anywhere. Enzymes are the "leaders" of these activities. The rate of enzyme production decreases with age.

Tip 4: Eat less meat and more plant protein. It is necessary to reduce the intake of meat and dairy products, because these foods contain a lot of saturated fat, which will increase the content of harmful low-density cholesterol in the blood and be accompanied by sexual diseases. Plant protein should be ingested.

Tip 5: Keep blood vessels young. To protect your arteries, make sure you get enough vitamin C.

Tip 6: Eat the right fat. Essential fat (EFA) is very important for the normal work of every cell, tissue, organ and gland. Most residents lack essential fats, especially omega-3 fats.

Tip 7: Eat grains with bran. Eat gluten grains such as brown rice and whole wheat flour, and do not eat refined carbohydrates such as polished rice and white flour, such as white bread, cakes and biscuits.

Tip 8: Pay attention to your excretion. You should defecate at least 1 time every day, if it is 2 ~ 3 times a day, after each meal 1 time, it is ideal.
