Slow Aging By Eating Peanuts!

Yes, that's right, you can slow aging by eating peanuts.

You all have probably heard of “Resveratrol”, it's a flavonoid that is found in foods like- red wine, grape juice, and red skinned peanuts!

It helps protect the cells against age damage and also helps boost the flow of blood to the brain. Interestingly enough by just eating a quarter cup of peanuts will provide 100% of your niacin needs, which is a nutrient that has been proven to reduce Alzheimer's risk as much as 70%.

Snacking on peanuts also helps curb the appetite and aids in shedding pounds. Now don’t overdo it because of the calorie content in peanuts, but just eating 40 peanuts as a snack is equivalent to an ounce which is acceptable to just about any diet.

Peanuts are also a good source of protein and there is a variety to choose from.

Does This Diet Work?

Red Wine

Lately everyone you talk to is either on a diet or watching their weight and wanting to lose a few pounds. There are so many diets on the market that it can literally make your head spin. Finding what diet suits your own individual style.

In the late 1930s a Dutch doctor called  Cornelius Moerman discovered that there was a lower incidence of cancers in certain regions where people regularly drank wine compared with other areas that had less consumption.

The doctor had found that acids and trace elements in wine naturally hinder tumor growth. According to his theory, cancer develops when the body lacks certain acids that acidify the blood and help prevent abnormal cell growth. The doctor also believed that certain  mineral deficiencies can make the body more susceptible to infections and tumors.

He developed a special diet that provides a balance of acids, vitamins, minerals, helps detoxify, stimulates immunity, and supports  the metabolism. But keep in mind this diet is not meant to replace a medical treatment.

Research has shown that daily consumption of red wine has many benefits. Red wine is rich in bioflavonoids, which help strengthen the heart tissue and reduces inflammation, which causes other diseases and cancers. However, drinking wine needs to be done in moderation.

My next post will delve deeper into this interesting diet.
