These days many among us have a desire for a younger looking, smooth, radiant skin, and of exuding energy that continues unabated from dawn to dusk. In fact, this desire, though more pronounced in today’s times, has been a perennial trend through the history of humankind.

This desire has led the humankind to search for food products and cosmetics, which slow or still better arrest the ageing process. For this publication’s readers we would only focus on the food part. Although there is no magic food that can reverse aging but adhering to the following food habits has great possibility to slow down the ageing process.

One Protein at a Time

We all know that proteins are the building blocks of our body. They not only help build our bones but also our skin, hormones and enzymes. Some good quality source of proteins includes legume, bean, milk, yogurt, sprout, nut, tofu, mushroom, egg, chicken, and fish. The amino acids in these proteins help rebuild and repair damage in our bodies. Proteins can build our skin (collagen, elastin), bones, our immunity etc.  Besides this, proteins help increase our metabolism by adding lean muscle mass.
