6 Super foods For Age-Defying Beauty!

1)

Goji Berries

Goji berries, Hollywood’s hottest new food, are one of

the most nutritionally dense foods on earth and house a staggering

concentration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytochemicals and

essential fatty acids. With such an awesome constitution it is not

surprising they are reputed anti-aging marvels. Originating in Tibet

and greatly favored in traditional medicine these dried berries have

many noted health benefits including boosting immunity, lowering

cholesterol, enhancing vision, fighting cancer cells, relieving

depression and aiding weight loss.

Goji berries contain 500 times more

vitamin C than oranges by weight and more beta-carotene than carrots

making them a superb source of vitamin A. Together with vitamin E and

essential fatty acids, these berries are ideal for any anti-aging and

beauty regime. They also contain polysaccharides, one of which has been

found to stimulate the secretion of the rejuvenating human growth hormone

by the pituitary gland, as well as B vitamins, 21 minerals and 18 amino

acids.

The most well documented case of longevity is that of Li Qing Yuen,

who lived to the age of 252. Born in 1678, he is said to have married 14

times with 11 generations of posterity before his death in 1930.

Li Qing Yuen reportedly consumed goji berries daily.

A study cited in

Dr. Mindell’s book ‘Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret’, observed that

67 per cent of elderly people that were given a daily dose of the berries

for 3 weeks experienced dramatic immune system enhancement and a

significant improvement in spirit and optimism.

2) Aloe Vera

Forget botox,

Aloe vera increases collagen production 100% naturally for a youthful,

wrinkle-free complexion and plump, beautiful skin. The ultimate botox

alternative!

The inner gel of the aloe vera leaf contains around 200

active compounds with over 75 nutrients. These include 20 minerals,

18 amino acids and 12 vitamins (even vitamin B12 – one of the very

few plant sources of this vitamin). Aloe vera also has anti-microbial

properties fighting fungi and bacteria and houses anti-inflammatory

plant steroids and enzymes. Aloe vera is known to aid digestion and

elimination, boost the immune system, and be highly effective at

healing, moisturizing and rejuvenating the skin, naturally stimulating

the production of collagen.

Aloe vera is best eaten fresh when possible

(you can order large aloe vera leaves which last a few weeks refrigerated).

Scrape out the inside gel, avoiding the outside of the leaf which is

a strong laxative, and blend with fruit for the ultimate

beautifying smoothie. Aloe vera has a mild flavor though a

slight bitter edge, hence is best combined with fruit.

3) Avocados are smoothing and softening for the skin and easily absorbed;

compared with almond, corn, olive, and soybean oils, avocado oil has the

highest skin penetration rate.

Avocado also contains vitamin E (excellent for the skin),

antioxidant carotenoids and the master antioxidant glutathione that

is exceptionally powerful and has anti-carcinogenic potential.

High levels of glutathione are found in the liver where the elimination

of toxic materials takes place.

Glutathione is effective against

pollutants such as cigarette smoke and exhaust fumes as well as

ultra-violet radiation. Research is currently exploring the potential

benefits of glutathione for numerous conditions including cancer,

heart disease, memory loss, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, eczema,

liver disorders, heavy metal poisoning and AIDS.

4) Chlorella

The

nucleic acids RNA and DNA in Chlorella (one of the highest known

sources of such) direct cellular growth and repair and enable our

bodies to utilize nutrients more effectively, eliminate toxins and

avoid disease. The production of nucleic acids in the body declines

progressively as we age, which is no doubt why their intake is

recommended by Dr. Benjamin Frank in ‘The No-Aging Diet’.

Paul Pitchford in ‘Healing With Whole Foods’ writes that

‘insufficient nucleic acid causes premature aging as well

as weakened immunity’,  Research at the Medical College of

Kanazawa in Japan found that mice that were fed chlorella had a

30 per cent increase in life span. Replenishing RNA and DNA can

be key to overall health, immunity and longevity.

In addition to

nucleic acids, chlorella is  jam-packed with vitamins, minerals,

antioxidants, enzymes and amino acids, making it an incredibly

rejuvenating and health-promoting superfood. Spirulina is a

virtuous equivalent.

5) Bee pollen

When it comes to young and

beautiful skin, bee pollen has outstanding gifts. Swedish dermatologist

Dr. Lars-Erik Essen uses bee pollen to successfully treat acne and

other skin conditions and observes it’s beautifying and

anti-aging effects. He reports that bee pollen ‘seems to prevent

premature aging of the cells and stimulates growth of new skin tissue.

It offers effective protection against dehydration and injects new life

into dry cells. It smoothes away wrinkles and stimulates a life-giving

blood supply to all skin cells.’ He believes it’s skin rejuvenation

properties are due to its high concentration of nucleic acids RNA and

DNA, as well as its natural antibiotic action. Bee pollen has a host

of other health-promoting benefits that include fighting infections,

lowering cholesterol, strengthening the blood, Boosting the immune system,

increasing physical strength and stamina, aiding longevity and

enhancing libido! It has been called a ‘prefect food’ because it

is so nutritionally complete.

6) Coconut oil

Coconut oil speeds up

your metabolism and can actually help you lose weight. It is also

incredibly beautifying and moisturizing for the skin and has antioxidant

properties which protect against free-radical damage, keeping the skin

youthful and healthy. Taken internally or externally coconut oil is a

great ally for any beauty skin care regime. It also contains lauric acid,

an anti-microbial fatty acid that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi.
