A nutritionist explained what processes influence the aging of the human body.

Oxidative stress, various inflammatory processes, decreased hormonal function (especially sex hormones) and other processes lead to aging.

However, as medical science candidate Oksana Mikhaleva emphasized in an interview with Gazeta.Ru , our diet can have a significant impact on some of the above processes.

To do this, you need to include the following in your diet:

Fatty, wild, cold-water fish like herring and mackerel. They contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help fight inflammation, protect the heart, and keep skin looking youthful.

Fruits, greens and vegetables of different colors. The doctor emphasized that the key factor is the presence of products of different colors, since then they contain special phytochemicals and oxidants.

Whole grains and legumes. The fiber they contain protects against tumors and helps prevent insulin resistance.

Dairy products. We are talking exclusively about low-fat and unsweetened sources of calcium, which protect against osteoporosis.

Lean meats: Turkey, rabbit, and chicken breast support muscle mass and help maintain healthy hair and skin.

It was previously reported what long-livers eat for breakfast.
