Nuts
Eating nuts can have many positive effects (unless, of course, you’re allergic to them). Because nuts are full of the right kinds of fat that your body needs. They have been shown to help reduce your risk of heart disease and type two diabetes, as well as other chronic diseases. Some good options are walnuts, chestnuts, and pecans.
Maca
The wonder-food called maca is another powerhouse when it comes to aging. Many of us will eventually experience hormone imbalance and hormone decline. But luckily, maca helps to keep hormones balanced and stabilized. Particularly for women approaching menopause, maca powder can really help.
Avocados
Avocados are one of the best foods around. But as far as anti-aging goes, they’re superfoods. They’re packed full of all those healthy fats and antioxidants. So they can contribute to healthy a healthy heart and blood vessels. And this will keep you young.
