Extensive research on aging is being conducted in modern medicine. Scientists are developing various "anti-aging" programs to slow down aging and prevent diseases that develop in old age. One of the key components of these programs is proper nutrition. As a result of research, herontologists have concluded that some vitamins and minerals have anti-aging effects. Gerontologists recommend that all people include foods containing these vitamins and minerals in their diet to "trick" old age.
Thus, vitamins and minerals that slow down aging and their sources:
- B6 (beans, walnuts, sea buckthorn)
- B12 (cod, arrow, carp)
- K (spinach, broccoli, cauliflower)
- D3 (fish oil, egg yolk)
- Folic acid (broccoli, spinach, citrus fruits)
- Omega-3 (herring, mackerel, flaxseed oil, walnuts, avocado)
- calcium (cottage cheese, cheese, yogurt, kefir)
- Magnesium (borax seeds, sesame, buckwheat, oats)
- Zinc (buckwheat, beans, peas, peanuts)
- selenium (Brazil nuts, garlic, champignons, corn)
- iodine (seaweed, arrow and mint fish)
Alcohol, sugar and trans fats (margarine, spread, artificial fats, etc.) accelerate the aging process
