PROTECTION FROM THE SUN AND PROPER DIET
In addition to professional treatments regurularly do in the institute to counteract premature aging of the skin, the fight against free radicals becomes more difficult and necessary in the summer: the perfect combination to overcome the heat and stay young consists of protection from the sun and anti-age feeding.The effect of the sun increases the production of free radicals by 55%, the "bad" molecules that accelerate the degenerative processes of tissues and cells.And now we reveal the decalogue of anti-aging foods.1. Water: it is one of the most important "food" when talking about the fight against aging; the minimum daily requirement is 1300-2100 ml and hydration is optimal when drinking in small sips during the day.
2. Matcha tea: it is 137 times more antioxidant than green tea, so it's time to stock them!
3. Red wine: it is rich in resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that contrasts the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in anti-aging optics.
4. Blueberries and strawberries: reduce the possibility of contracting neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and strengthen the cardiovascular system.
5. Lemons, oranges and grapefruits: consumed regularly, they help to protect the health of the heart thanks to naringenin, a flavonoid with known antioxidant properties.
6. Carrots: contain vitamin A and beta-carotene, essential for skin health and alpha carotene, a strong antioxidant capable of eliminating free radicals.
7. Tomatoes: thanks to the lycopene contained in the peel, the tomato is an excellent antioxidant.
8. Spinach: slow down the processes of brain aging and contain vitamin K, which prevents osteoporosis.
9. Cocoa: has antioxidant properties linked to the polyphen content, which has a neuroprotective action useful to combat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
10. Dried fruit: all dried fruit has a high content of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.
The sun protection must also be combined by new eating habits:
1. Take small meals throughout the day, to adjust the glycemic balance and nutrient absorption.
2. Take carbohydrates in the first time slots of the day and low glycemic index, because they help reduce insulin and increase glucagon levels (the hormone involved in the metabolism of sugars).
3. To privilege lean proteins and vegetables to promote the production of anti-aging hormones during the evening meal and at each meal to precede the intake of proteins to that of carbohydrates, to maximize the action of glucagon.
