i think changing the way we say things or think about things really makes us feel more powerful and inspired when it comes to our health. plus, the more educated we are about what we put in our bodies, the healthier choices we will make. 

– pomegranates are powerful “pro-aging” fruits – they slow the aging process by preserving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, preventing sun damage and promoting cell regeneration. they suport cardiovascular health, which is crucial as we age by improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. and bonus, they are in season. 

– supplementation. so many of us can be deficient in minerals, including things like magnesium, zinc and selenium. appropriate supplementation of minerals can help maintain our immune system.

– eat basically “close to the ground” this means primarily plants and animals (if you’re okay with that) and a minimum of processed foods. fruits, vegetables, proteins. reduce soda or sweet drinks, try to drink a lot of water. we don’t need to overindulge in all-you-can-eat Chinese food or cookies the size of a pizza.

– keep nuts on display – i love keeping almonds, cashews out for display for a clean snack. almonds and cashews are good for heart health and muscle health plus many more benefits

– i love blueberries, these berries help fight off free radicals that can speed up aging. they support brain health, keep your memory sharp and protect skin from wrinkles by boosting collagen. they re loaded with vitamin C, which makes your skin look fresh and radiant
