>> AS WE GET OLDER, EVERYONE IN SEARCH OF WAYS TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT THIS MORNING AS OUR ABC, 15 HEALTH INSIDER DOCTOR SHAD MARVASTI. YOU HAVE 5 FOODS TO FOCUS ON FOR OPTIMAL AGING BECAUSE AS YOU OFTEN TALK ABOUT FOOD IS MEDICINE. >> YOU CAN THINK ABOUT OUR GENES LIKE SOFTWARE AND YOU WANT TO UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE TO KEEP YOUR SYSTEM RUNNING RIGHT. AND SAME THING WITH OUR BODY. OUR GENETICS SOFTWARE ACTUALLY CAN GET EITHER UPGRADED OR DOWNGRADED, DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF FOOD WE EAT. IT CAN ACTUALLY SHIFT THE DYNAMICS TOWARDS RAPID AGING OR SLOWING AGING, OK? SO LET'S WALK THROUGH THOSE FOOD GROUPS. THE FIRST ONE VITAMIN C FOR YOUR SKIN. >> ABSOLUTELY. VITAMIN C IS REALLY CRITICAL NUTRIENTS AND ANTIOXIDANTS HELP SERVE UP BODY. THE COLLAGEN, WHICH IS CRITICAL FOR REGENERATING SKIN CELLS, REDUCING WRINKLES AND REDUCING SKIN DAMAGE THAT CAN COME FROM SUN EXPOSURE. AND THESE INCLUDE UP BROCCOLI, RED AND GREEN PEPPERS, STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, KIWI, AND OBVIOUSLY CITRUS FRUITS. SO YOU MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT BROCCOLI AND RED AND GREEN PEPPERS AS BEING REALLY HIGH BY AND SEE THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AS HIGH IF NOT WITH THAT IN THE CASE OF PEPPERS, ACTUALLY EVEN HIGHER AMOUNT OF VITAMIN C THAN AN ORANGE. I NEED THAT GLOWING SKIN. THAT'S GOING TO STIR FRY TONIGHT. NOT BEST KNOTS OF THE TREE. NOT SO THESE ARE THE ALMONDS WALNUTS. PECANS PISTACHIOS THEY HELP TO LOWER THE BAD CHOLESTEROL INCREASE THE GOOD CHOLESTEROL. THEY HELP MAINTAIN HEALTHY BLOOD PRESSURE, HEALTHY BLOOD, GLUCOSE LEVELS. >> AND ALL OF THAT BASICALLY HELPS TO BRING DOWN OUR LEVEL INFORMATION. AND THAT'S WHY IN PLACES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LONG LIVE, JUST HAVING A HANDFUL OF NUTS A DAY CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE YOUR LIFESPAN BY SEVERAL YEARS. ALL THOSE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL REALLY OLD 2, 0, YEAH. AND I KNEW WOULD GROW BEANS AND WHAT ARE THOSE DO YOU CAN REALLY THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JACK AND THE BEANSTALK. THEY ARE MAGIC. ALL THESE ARE MAGIC BEATS BECAUSE THEY ADD A SEVERAL YEARS TO LIFE. BUT ACTUALLY THE THERE'S A STUDY WITH THE BLUE ZONES WHERE THEY FOUND THAT HAVING A MEANS A SERVING OF BEANS EVERY DAY ADDED 2 YEARS TO LIFE. THEY HELP TO REGULATE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR THAT BRING AN INFORMATION. THEY REDUCED DIRECTLY THE RISK OF CERTAIN CANCERS HELP TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY WEIGHT. AND THE FIBER HELPS FEED THE GOOD BACTERIA GOT TO KEEP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM STRONG AS WELL. SO ANY KIND OF BEAN THAT YOU CAN HAVE LET THEM SOAK A LITTLE BIT TO BREAK DOWN WHAT'S CALLED CELLULOSE SO YOU CAN HELP JUST AND THEN YOU CAN ADD HEALTHY FATS LIKE EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE. WELL ACROSS THAT THINGS LIKE THAT TO YOUR BEANS, WHICH GIVES IT OUT AND FLAVOR AND ALSO HELPS TO IMPROVE STATE ACTION. >> AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDED FLAVOR, THAT LEADS TO OUR NEXT THING BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE OFTEN TOLD BY THEIR DOCTOR NO MORE SALT IN YOUR COOKING. SO THEY THINK WILL NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO USE? BUT YOU'RE SAYING THE SAND SPICES CAN ALSO HELP WITH THE AGING PROCESS. YEAH, INFORMATION YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT. >> AS BASICALLY LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF A A LITTLE GRAY FIRE THAT SIMMERING AND BASICALLY TEARING AWAY AND AGING. IT'S LIKE THE WEAR AND TEAR. AND IF YOU WANT TO BRING THAT DOWN, COOLER DOWN ONE'S I RECOMMEND TO HAVE EVERY DAY ARE TUMOR. GINGER GARLIC AND GINGER BY ITSELF IS ANTI NAUSEA. ALL OF THEM ARE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY TUMOR HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BLOCK ALMOST EVERY A CANCER PATHWAY IN THE BODY. US IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH A DECREASE INCIDENTS. A NON-NATIVE OF ALZHEIMER'S DEMENTIA, YOU KNOW, ALL SORTS OF HEALING PROPERTIES. AND SO FAR EVERYTHING HAS COME FROM THE GARDEN. BUT YOUR LAST ONE. >> IS SEAFOOD. WE'RE TURNING TO THE SEA AND THIS IS SPECIFIC. YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THEIR WILD SEAFOOD. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COLD WATER FISH AND THE WILD CARS BECAUSE THEY EAT THE FOODS THAT MAKE THEM THE COLOR THAT THEY ARE GIVES THEM ALL THOSE NUTRIENTS. BUT THEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW, JUST FARM MASS-PRODUCE WHERE THEY'RE FEEDING THEM CORN. AND THAT FISH IS REALLY NOT A HEALTHY FISH. ALL TOO OBVIOUS FARM IN REALLY TERRIBLE CONDITIONS. AND SO I WOULDN'T CALL THAT A HEALTH FOOD. BUT WILD SALMON. >> MACKEREL SARDINES. ALL THESE THINGS ARE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS. AND IT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN SHOWN AS PART OF A PASS TO TERRY AND I TO REALLY HELP WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND DEPRESSION AS WELL AS THE AGING OF YOUR BRAIN. SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AS EVERYBODY HEADS UP TO THE STORE. >> THIS WEEKEND SO THAT WE ALL LIVE A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE.
