Certain foods can lengthen your life
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Sarah Keefe unlocks the healing secrets of apples, avocados, bananas, eggs, garlic, kidney beans, walnuts, tofu and soy products, red wine, spinach and fennel.
While movies like Vanilla Sky and Austin Powers seem to suggest that being cryogenically frozen and brought back to life is as easy as spotting a pair of big breasts at Hooters, the sad truth is that we still haven't figured out a way to grace the Earth with our presence forever.
But don't draw up your will just yet -- as it turns out, we may be able to eat our way to life everlasting; there are some foods that may in fact increase your lifespan on this wondrous planet.
These super-foods, known for their anti-aging properties, all contain specific chemicals and/or vitamins that seem to increase our ability to fight off some of today's most prevalent, life-threatening diseases.
1- Apples Ingredients: Apples are chock-full of several powerful antioxidants, especially quercetin, and are also high in the soluble fiber, pectin.
Health benefits: Quercetin, the superman of antioxidants, fights both blood clots and cancer.
Pectin, not to be outdone, helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and remove cancer-causing toxins from the bloodstream.
The best way to eat them: Just like Eve did: raw, with its peel intact, since the apple's skin is what contains the quercetin.
2- Avocados Ingredients: Avocados are extraordinarily high in fiber, and contain more potassium than bananas.
Health benefits: Not only do they make your skin soft and kissable, but avocados are also a nasty enemy of high blood pressure, heart disease and certain types of cancer, especially colon cancer.
Folate is necessary for proper tissue growth, and is important in preventing heart disease and cancer.
The best way to eat them: Just like a monkey would.
It seems that monkeys are smarter than we think, after all.
