Top Anti-aging Foods!

Borrowed from RealAge Tip:
Top Antiaging Foods from Around the World By Mehmet C. Oz, MD, and Michael F. Roizen, MD
From Costa Rica: Beans! People of Costa Rica are 4 times more likely than most North Americans to live past age 90! One reason may be dishes like gallo pinto, a tasty mix of black beans & rice flavored with onion, red peppers, garlic, olive oil, cilantro, and a salsa lizano(a condiment a little like Worcestershire sauce). Their big breakfasts usually begin with beans. But don't limit yourself, because this dish is great at any meal.
From Nova Scotia: Wild Blueberries! Nova Scotia is home to Canada's highest percentages of centenarians! One reason may be polyphenol-packed wild blueberries produced by the millions of tons on this island.
From France: Wine! In this country, local red wine is king. Moderate drinking (1 glass for women, up to 2 for men) with a meal a day seems to help explain low rates of heart disease despite eating cheese. The French tie the Italians IN Western Europe's longest-living people. Wine's magic seems to come from: ethanol, which boosts levels of healthy HDL cholesterol; resveratrol, which new research suggests can mimic the life-extending effects of cutting calories; and polyphenols, which rev up the body's own cell-protecting antioxidants.
SHIELD® is Omnitrition®'s Very Own Antioxidant! Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer, heart disease, as well as, other diseases. Do You Have Your Shield® Up?
PhytoNutrients® are Omnitrition's® Stress Buster! Phytonutrients are nutrients derived from plants that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining life. Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health. These phytochemicals have been found to have properties to aid in disease prevention. 4 of the leading causes of death in the Western countries include: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, & hypertension. Phytochemicals are associated with the prevention &/or treatment of these diseases. They are involved in preventing cell damage, preventing cancer cell replication, & decreasing cholesterol.   Common Phytonutrients include: Carotenoids Coumarins Flavonoids Indoles Lignans Isoflavones(including Genistein & Daidzen) Organosulfurs Phytosterols or Phytohormones

From Greece: More Veggies & Less Meat! Some Greeks have already celebrated their 90th birthdays! Their longevity secret? The famed Mediterranean diet. Death rates were lowest for those who ate the most fruit, vegetables, beans, & olive oil. The occasional glass of wine helped, too. So did fish, seafood, whole grains, & dairy products. Those who ate red meat just a few times a month lived longer than those who indulged more frequently.  Eating lots of vegetables accounted for 16% of the youth-power of Mediterranean eating.

From Japan: Tofu! On the Japanese island of Okinawa, it may be why residents age gracefully to 100+ more often than anywhere else on earth! Researchers credit this mild-tasting soy curd's low fat content & high levels of good-for-you saponins & isoflavones. Put tofu instead of chicken or pork in a stir-fry, or use soy crumbles in place of ground meat in a hearty spaghetti sauce. Marinate first to heighten flavor; it tastes great with ginger, garlic, and low-sodium soy sauce.
