What you eat and when you eat it is essential if you want to look and feel younger.
Learning to listen to your body and your lifestyle when you plan what to eat is imperative.
Eating at least three meals per day is essential, and often eating up to five smaller meals is more beneficial.
Here are five tips to help you look and feel younger by adopting healthy eating habits.
1.
Kick-start your day with a healthy breakfast.
Ensure you get a variety of vitamins and nutrients and choose foods that offer a sustained energy boost: porridge, homemade muesli, wholemeal toast, eggs, yoghurt with fruit and nuts and seeds all offer a sustained energy boost.
2.
Regularly consume fresh orange juice.
Squeeze it yourself from organic oranges, and be sure they are not coated in petroleum waxes.
Orange juice with "bits" is a good source of potassium, folate, vitamin C and carotenoids.
3.
Learn to grind your own curry powders and aim to cook them once a week.
India has the lowest incidence of Alzheimer's in the world and research has attributed this to turmeric in curry.
4.
Learn to eat with the seasons.
Ayurveda, the Indian system of natural healthcare, is also referred to as the art of longevity.
It teaches that body and mind will become better balanced if we consume the produce of the seasons.
5.
Enjoy a treat early on in the day.
This seems to have less effect on the waistline.
