The anti-aging food pyramid

And this also show the Anti-aging food pyramid. So they have the many layers from the pyramids. The bottom layers, you can see this pure filtered water if you compare the previous slides, you also see water is very important for your health. And this slide shows the pure filtered water. That means more focus on food safety. Do you have your water filtered before you drink? And also what is the pure water? That means hundred percent of water, not mineral water. Mineral water is not a hundred percent of the pure water because mineral water contains some of the minerals. For example, calcium and other minerals. So those mineral waters are not pure water. So pure water means hundred percent of the water.

The second layer you can see they focus on low glycemic index complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, cereals, barley, oats and bulgar. Bulgar is a kind of foods are popular in Africa. I want you to focus on low glycemic index, grains. What is low glycemic index? That means those foods is absorbed into your body steadily so they cannot increase your blood sugar quickly. That means they can stabilize your blood sugar so it’s very important thing is you have to control your blood sugar in the elderly. So we suggest you you can consume low glycemic index diet such as complex carbohydrate. It’s very different from simple carbohydrate. What’s the differences between complex and simple?

Simple as a kind of glucose or containing foods or fructose containing foods or sucrose containing foods. For complex carbohydrate, that means many glucose, many simple sugars. So what kind of foods contain complex carbohydrates? Such as the whole grain foods. So whole grain foods, barley, oats are very good healthy food for a complex carbohydrate. The third layer is you can see low glycemic index, whole fruits and legumes and nuts and above the ground vegetables. Very important thing is the food safety. If you eat the parts under ground vegetables, that means it may have the water pollution, may have the soil contamination.

So if the soil contaminated with the heavy metals or the water contaminated with the toxins; if you eat those food under the grounds vegetables, you also eat those toxins. So we will suggest those elderly, you can have above ground green, leafy vegetables. Especially for green leafy vegetables. Because the green leafy vegetables contain more nutrients such as a more minerals, more vitamins, so as much much healthier for your life’s dietary intake. And the fourth layer you can see the olive oil or fats from fish or poultry. So we suggest you probably consume olive oil because it’s containing rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. So it’s very healthy monounsaturated fatty acids in your diet.

And on the top above layer, above the olive oil or fats as deep sea cold water fish because deep sea cold water fish containing more healthy fatty acids. For example polyunsaturated fatty acid. For sample omega-3 fatty acids. It’s very important and very good for your health. And the very top of the pyramid as a free-range poultry, lean red meat and sweet. So that means we will consume those foods twice a week or once per week. As not consume those fields every day. So that means you probably eat less sweet eat less red meat and probably you could eat more free-range poultry compared with the lean red meat, because lean red meat contain much much higher content of the iron.

It can be oxidants and in your body so we will limit it limit the lean red meat consumption.
