When it comes to combating ageing, we’re usually only thinking about our skin, rather than cellular ageing, which affects all our organs. Well, forget about exorbitantly priced anti-ageing creams or invasive treatments that can cause long-term damage. The secret to taking good care of yourself lies in keeping these two foodstuffs close to hand:
Olive oil
Its unsaturated fats aren’t only great for your heart, they also help boost blood flow throughout the whole body. It’s also a wonderful source of antioxidants, which help combat cellular ageing. Make sure to include it in your everyday cooking. There’s no better elixir of eternal youth!
Nuts
Like olive oil, nuts are packed with unsaturated fats, but they’re also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, whose anti-ageing properties have been proven by a number of major institutions. Omega-3 is also found in blue fish, so a sprinkling of nuts on your favourite tuna, salmon or sardines will be infinitely better than any miracle cure.
