The Antiaging Diet

"The Eight Dietary Guidelines for a Long and Healthy Life.

1. Eat at least eight colorful fruits and vegetables each day.
2. Eat legumes (cooked dried beans and peas) at  least five
times a week.
3. Eat minimally processed foods.
4. Include fish, nuts, and olive oil at least twice a week.
5. Eliminate excess calories by cutting back on sugar, fat
and refined grains.
6. Include three low-fat, calcium rich foods in the daily diet.
7. Enjoy food.
8. Supplement responsibly."

   "Feeling energetic and fully alive is a by-product of good health and
is fundamental to vitality. What you eat must provide all of the building
blocks and fuel to help you attain and maintain good health. While most
people wouldn't dream of putting bad gasoline in their cars, it is common
for people to supply their bodies with low-grade fuel and then wonder why their
most precious machine is showing wear and tear.
   What you choose to eat determines what will happen at the cellular level in
your body, where all metabolic processes occur and where life and vitality begin.
We have up to one hundred trillion cells in our bodies, each one demanding
daily a constant supply of forty-plus nutrients and thousands of phytochemicals
in the proper balance in order to function optimally. That's a big responsibility!"
