If you want to age well, don’t wait until your skin starts changing to care about what you eat.
A few simple foods can make a pretty big difference when you eat them regularly.
Here are some worth keeping around:
1. Kiwi
Loaded with vitamin C and other nutrients that support normal collagen production and overall skin health.
2. Dark chocolate
A small amount of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content gives you flavonoids and other plant compounds with antioxidant activity.
3. Salmon
One of the easiest ways to get omega-3 fats, which play important roles in heart and brain health.
4. Tomatoes
Rich in lycopene, a plant compound that has antioxidant properties. Cooking tomatoes can actually make lycopene easier for your body to absorb.
5. Blueberries
Tiny fruit, big nutrition. They’re packed with anthocyanins and other compounds that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
6. Sweet potatoes
A great source of beta-carotene, which your body can convert into vitamin A for normal skin and immune function.
HOW INSTANT NOODLES ARE REALLY MADE, AND WHAT THEY DO TO YOUR BODY
That cheap packet lasts for years on a shelf, and the way it's made explains why.
1. The salt is the biggest problem
6. Where they came from
After World War II, Japan was short on food. People needed meals that were cheap, quick and kept for a long time.
Momofuku Ando tested idea after idea until he found that frying cooked noodles dried them out while still letting them soften fast in hot water. In 1958 he launched the first one, Chicken Ramen, which started out as a luxury. As making them got cheaper, they spread. In 1971 he brought out Cup Noodles: no bowl needed, just hot water.
Today they're one of the most eaten foods in the world.
7. Real food wins
Meals made from fresh, whole ingredients feed your body best. Vegetables, fruit, whole grains and good protein give you fibre for digestion, vitamins for energy, and minerals that keep your heart, muscles and immune system strong, with no long list of additives.
It doesn't have to be fancy. Sautéed vegetables with eggs or a light soup made from fresh ingredients goes a long way. The closer food is to its natural state, the more it does for you.
You don't have to quit instant noodles. With food prices rising, they're a quick, cheap option for a lot of people. But they're already cooked, usually fried, heavy on salt and light on nutrition, so keep them as an occasional shortcut, not a habit.
10 SILENT SIGNS OF BREAST CANCER EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW TO PROTECT THE WOMEN HE LOVES
Everyone knows to check for a lump, but most early signs of breast cancer look nothing like one.
1. A lump that feels different
9. Thickening in the breast or armpit
It's not always a clear lump. Sometimes it's an area that feels firmer or thicker than the tissue around it.
Check the armpit too. That's where the lymph nodes sit, and changes show up there. Most people never think to check it.
10. Breast pain that feels different
Breast pain is common and usually comes from hormone changes. But pain that sits in one spot and won't go away isn't normal.
Most breast cancers don't hurt early on, but some women feel tenderness, a dull ache or a sore spot that lingers. If it's new, keeps coming back or lasts several weeks, get it checked.
