Mark Twain said it best when he wrote- Getting older is a privilege denied to many. There are no guarantees that we will live a long life, but we can take action to help prevent aging too soon in our minds and bodies.

Food is fuel for our bodies. Choosing the best fuel helps give us optimal energy, but did you know it can stop the clock when it comes to aging? You betcha! Today I am sharing how food can help you look and feel your best and be some of the best anti-aging decisions you make. Here is an example-

Eating a rainbow stops the clock- When it comes to food choices, the more options, the better. When choosing healthy foods for anti-aging, eat a rainbow of colors. Every color represented in the produce section of your grocer has a specific benefit for your body. Choose various colors, and you will attack the free radicals floating around in your body from different angles.

• Deep red and purple- These fruits and vegetables reduce antioxidants in your bloodstream and help manage estrogen levels.

• Yellow and orange- provide vitamin C and detoxify harmful carcinogens

• Green and light green- provide folate and destroy cancer cells

• Blue and brown- add fiber and attack carcinogens

I don’t know about you, but I will make some changes to my food colors! Until next time, stay safe, and keep the faith.
