Spinach
Thanks to vitamin K and quercetin, spinach blocks intracellular inflammation, which is responsible for the fact that every day of our life inevitably brings us closer to old age. Thanks to the high amount of lutein, it also protects the eyesight. The vitamin A contained in it strengthens nails and hair and is an antioxidant.
White mushrooms
Boletus contain a unique compound that is not synthesized by the human body on its own, but is so necessary for health and longevity – this is the amino acid ergothioneine. In porcini mushrooms its content is 10 times higher than the ordinary one. In addition, mushrooms can enrich the body with the antioxidant glutathione. Together, they mitigate oxidative stress, prevent DNA damage and are therefore guaranteed to slow down aging.
Red pepper
Our body synthesizes collagen on its own, but its production decreases with age. For this reason, wrinkles on the face, flaccidity of the skin and internal tissues begin to appear. And red pepper promotes the production of collagen, due to the high content of vitamin C, the daily norm of which is exceeded by the recommended 170-230%. In addition, red pepper helps with vision problems and is a prophylaxis for anemia.
Grape
Grapes contain special polyphenolic compounds that slow down the development of neurodegenerative diseases and improve cognitive function in adults. Eating grapes helps you feel young and active and promotes a positive mindset. Due to the resveratrol content, grapes reduce the chance of vascular disease, oncology and limit the aging of the body.
Almond
30 grams of almonds contain 35% vitamin E from the recommended daily allowance. Due to such a high vitamin E content, daily consumption of almonds helps fight the age-related deterioration in the functioning of the immune system and thus delays the aging of the body.
