For as long as we can remember, we've heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But not only can it boost your energy and memory levels, it also can impact how long you live. Studies show that by eating certain foods, you can help slow the aging process. Here are just six amazing anti-aging treats you might want to go for first thing in the morning.
长久以来,我们一直听说早餐是一天中最重要的一餐。更重要的是,早餐不仅能让你充满干劲,提高记忆力,还能影响你的寿命。研究表明,一些食物可以帮助人类延缓衰老。接下来就为大家介绍六种神奇的抗衰老食物,或许会让你想在早上第一时间享用它们。
1. Blueberries
Although tiny, blueberries pack a huge anti-aging health punch. Rich in polyphenols(多酚), research suggests that a blueberry-rich diet not only improves your motor skills, but also can help fight diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes1.
Indeed one recent study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association showed that women who ate the most blueberries -- as well as their superfood cousin, strawberries -- enjoyed a 32 percent lower heart attack risk than women who only ate these berries once a month (or not at all).
2. Oatmeal
For years, research has shown a strong correlation2 between oatmeal(燕麦片) and cholesterol3(胆固醇) reduction. Oatmeal is rich in soluble4 fiber5 that gets rid of "bad" cholesterol. Oats also are packed with the antioxidants that do battle against cell damage. And that can help plump skin and reduce wrinkles.
3. Eggs
Eggs usually come under fire because of their high cholesterol content. But studies show that healthy men and women who consume an egg a day actually do not experience negative health repercussions6. In addition, eggs contain all the essential B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, choline(胆碱), biotin(生物素), and folic acid. Choline has been shown to protect your memory, while two proteins in eggs -- lutein and zeaxanthin -- protect against vision loss.
4. Tea
Many teas are high in anti-aging antioxidants. But green tea is rich in an antioxidant known as EGCG, which helps fight wrinkles and rejuvenate7(复原) skin cells. Green tea also may protect against cancer, control blood sugar levels, and help reduce inflammation associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
5. Pomegranate Juice
If tea's not your thing, try pomegranate(石榴) juice instead. Studies show that a glass of pomegranate juice a day could help keep wrinkles at bay. Not only has pomegranate been shown to slow down the natural oxidation ("wear and tear") of DNA8, it also has been linked to the prevention of heart disease and stress relief.
6. Grapefruit
In addition to helping9 you feel full, which in turn may assist with weight loss, grapefruit also can help lower "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride(甘油三酯) levels while also boosting “good” HDL cholesterol. Deep red varieties are best as studies show they can also help keep heart disease at bay.
