    Default Your Anti-Aging Checklist

    I saw this on the news the other day and thought it was interesting:

    Your Anti-Aging Checklist


    Food: Antioxidants (5 servings a day)


    In brightly colored foods like blueberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes and acai

    Green and white tea (4 cups a day)

    Red wine or Concord grape juice (1 glass a day)

    Fiber (25 grams a day): In fruits, vegetables, beans, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, "100 percent" whole grain bread and chia

    Omega 3 fatty acids: In roasted or ground flax seeds, walnuts, hemp, salmon and spirolina algae

    Olive oil (1 to 2 tablespoons a day): Do not heat this delicate oil to smoking point or it will be damaged and lose its benefits

    Exercise

    Get your heart rate up (3 times a week)

    Find your target exercising heart rate: 220 - [your age] X .80

    Do strength training (30 minutes a week)

    Meditation

    Yoga, prayer or meditation (5 minutes a day): Releases nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels

    Sleep and Sex

    Sleep (7 to 8 hours a night)

    Monogamous sex (2 to 3 times a week)

    Vitamins

    Vitamin D (1,000 units a day)

    Calcium (600 mg twice a day) with Magnesium (200 mg twice a day)

    DHA Omega-3 (600 mg a day)

    Baby aspirin (2 a day, for a total of 162 milligrams)

    Multivitamin (Take half in the morning, half in the evening): Pre-menopausal women need a multivitamin with iron and 5,000 units of vitamin A. Men and post-menopausal women need just 2,500 units of vitamin A.

    I'm not sure about the "DHA" Omega 3's, but in my Nutrition class we were told not to take them in pill form. She said most of that is taken from the liver of the fish, where all the toxins are. She said flaxseed has the same amount of Omega 3 and should be taken instead, IF you don't eat any fish.

    ^^ yes! One of the most obvious signs of aging is wrinkles caused by sun exposure.

    one could argue that the chemicals in the sunblock are themselves carcinogenic and being baked into your skin...but thats just my opinion

    they do have organic brands that work really well

    Why does it have to be "monogamous" sex? That annoyed me.

    I agree. I think switching "safe" with "monogamous" would solve the issue.

    I hear white tea has even more anti-aging properties than green, and is especially good for preventing saggy skin.

    Concord grape juice and white tea are going on my shopping list!

    The only one on my list is sex (and much more often -with many more partners)

    However I do think it's 1 of the reasons i look years younger.

    The other 2 good Genes and that I do alot of walking/dancing/running.

    My youthful sense of style helps 2.

    Whenever any1 talks to me about how young I look I tell them my mom is 50 going on 30 and when they talk about how I'm in such good shape then I tell them it's cuz of all the sex I have--becuz it surely has nothing to do with anything like yoga, diets, or vitamins with me.
