9 Superfoods to Slow Down the Aging Process

Do you want to eat yourself young? While there's no such thing as the fountain of youth, certain foods promote longevity. Jon Williams is a fat loss expert who helps men and women lose 20-plus pounds of body fat. In a new social media post, he reveals 9 superfoods that slow down the aging process. Here they are:

The first superfood that promotes longevity is blueberries. "Rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins. Aim for about 1 cup daily," he writes.

There's a reason Popeye enjoyed spinach. "Packed with vitamins and antioxidants like lutein. A serving of 1-2 cups (raw) or 1 cup (cooked) is recommended," he says.

Salmon, a fatty fish, is also good for longevity. "High in omega-3 fatty acids that support heart and brain health. Aim for 2-3 servings a week (about 3-4 ounces per serving)," he writes.

Avocado is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. "Contains healthy fats and vitamins E and C. About half an avocado per day is beneficial," he writes.

Nuts, "especially walnuts and almonds," are a great snack for longevity. "Great sources of healthy fats and protein. A handful (about 1 ounce) is a good daily portion," he writes.

There are lots of health benefits of green tea. "Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants. Drinking 2-3 cups a day can be beneficial," he says.

The health benefits of sweet potatoes outweigh white potatoes. "High in beta-carotene and fiber. One medium sweet potato per day is a good choice," says Williams.

Broccoli, a cruciferous veggie, is also great for anti-aging. "Contains sulforaphane, which may help combat aging. Aim for about 1 cup (cooked) daily," he says.

Dark chocolate is packed with anti-agers. "Rich in flavonoids and antioxidants. About 1 ounce (70% cocoa or higher) a few times a week can be enjoyable," he says.

Olive oil is the last item on his anti-aging food list. "A source of healthy fats and antioxidants. Use about 2 tablespoons daily in cooking or as a dressing," he writes. And if you enjoyed this article, don't miss I Hit 60 and These 15 Anti-Aging Foods Keep Me Fit and Feeling 20 Years Younger.
