Article: Aging and cronic diseases have specific causes like oxidating agents, sun beams, mechanical wear and tear, psychological stress, lack of some nutritional components and too much of others, like suger and fat. The components for fighting aging, prevent diseases and preserve beauty are: -Dayly food containing whole cereals, peas, beans, vegetables, fruit, fish, mushroms, fouls and seafood, and with just a moderate amount of red meat. -Just a moderate amount of fat. -Ideally most fat one eats, should be of the type mono-unsaturated. One also needs some poly-usaturated fat of the types omega-3, and omega 6, but not too much of omega-6. The consumption of saturated fat should be very little. - In order to achieve right fat balance, most of the fat supply should come from sources like olive, peanuts, canola, fish, nuts, sun-flower, etc. Then you will get a good balance between mono-unsaturated fat (olive, canola, peanuts), poly-unsaturated fat of the omaga-3-type (fish) and poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type (sunflower). -Just a very moderate amount of butter, soya oil, margarine, corn oil and palm oil. A high consumption of these fat sources gives you too much saturated fat and poly-unsaturated omega-6-fat. -Just a very moderate amount of sugar, refined flour or refined cereals. -Just a moderate consumption of tranquilizers/stimulants as Alchohol and coffeine, but in moderate amounts these contribute to slow down the aging process. -No smoking or tobacho usage. -Supplements of specific nutritional components like vitamins, minerals, lecitin and some essential fatty acids. -Adequate training, that both gives both a muscular load, work up your condition and stretches out your body. To stretch out, yoga-exercizes are ideal. -Adequate rest and stress-reduction. Daily meditation is a method of achieving this. Natural relaxing agents or spesific tools for meditation or relaxation may also be useful. -Supplements of specific anti-aging agents like anti-oxidants or human growth hormone. -Use of spesific anti-aging agents to apply upon the skin surface. -To protect the skin against excessive sun exposure. The amount one needs of nutritional supplements, like vitamins and minerals, differs very much according to a person`s health condition, work load and exposure to environmental stress. A person having a poor digestion, doing high performance sport or being exposed to a high amount of environmental stressors, may need more than a person in an average situation.
