Want to age-proof your body? Almonds, brown rice, and black-eyed peas can actually lengthen your life according to European research and Henry Mallek, PhD. Phytates found in these foods trigger cells in the body and brain to rejuvenate, they strengthen your immune system, and they kill off cancer cells. Eat 2 servings a day to reap the benefits.
Harvard University also found that certain supplements added to your daily routine can add 8 additional years to your life. They suggest a multi vitamin that contains folic acid, vitamins D and B6, as well as 1,200 mg of vitamin C. These supplements reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, and other age-related diseases.
