5 Foods to Add Each Week for Longevity
To help you live a long, healthy life, the following foods should be included in your weekly menu.
Avocados
I love avocados almost as much as I love eggs.
And when it comes to living longer, they can be a huge help thanks to the fact that one cup of cubed avocado is loaded with:
- 10 g of fiber
- 3 g of protein
- 14.7 g of heart healthy monounsaturated fat
- 2.7 g of polyunsaturated fat
- 25% of your DV of vitamin C (antioxidant)
- 39% of your DV of vitamin K (antioxidant)
- 16% of your DV of vitamin E (antioxidant)
- 5% of your DV of iron
- 30% of your DV of folate
- 21% of your DV of potassium
With one cup of avocados (about what you’d put on top of a vegetarian salad), you’ll enjoy fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. But best of all: avocados contain a special group of antioxidants known as polyphenols.
According to the Global Healing Center, polyphenols protect our skin from UV damage, provide holistic support for our brains, support normal blood sugar and blood pressure levels, and reduce our risk for cardiovascular disease, making them perfect for anyone trying to live longer.
