How to eat tasty, anti-aging snack
Nuts and seeds
Nuts in general are very nutritious, providing protein and many essential vitamins, such as A and E, minerals, such as phosphorous and potassium, and fibre. Nuts are also high in carbohydrate and oils, so shouldn't be eaten in excess. My personal favourite would be almonds :)
Apples
There is a certain amount of truth to "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apples do lower cholesterol level and lower risk of cancer. All this goodness packed in a little package. How wonderful! Pick up an apple now!
Avocado
It is a rich source of vitamin E and a good source of potassium, with useful amounts of vitamin B6, and lutein. It also supplies vitamin C, riboflavin and manganese. Thus it helps to control blood pressure and maintain a regular heartbeat and a healthy nervous system.
Apricot
They are a good source of beta carotene, the plant form of vitamin A. Thus helps to prevent degenerative illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. I guess we are more familiar with the dried version than fresh ones. Dried apricots have higher calories but its a convenient source of nutrients. They even formed part of the diet of American astronauts during some of their space flights. Fruits that went into space!
