The two main factors that reject aging are vegetables and fruits:
Vegetables and fruits play a very important role in preventing and treating some diseases related to free radical damage and anti-aging process. Dietary guides all over the world list the intake of vegetables and fruits as an important content.
When the United States revised the latest dietary guidelines in 2000, it changed the article "Choose a diet rich in grains, vegetables and fruits" to "Choose a variety of vegetables and fruits every day".
A large number of scientific experiments have proved that vegetables and fruits can not only provide some vitamins, minerals and cellulose needed by human body, but also contain many plant antioxidant substances, such as some vegetables and fruits are rich in polyphenols, including flavonoids and anthocyanins, and some substances have even stronger antioxidant effects than the well-known antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin E and carotene. Recently, the related personnel of Tianjin Institute of Environmental Medicine measured and compared the antioxidant activities of 66 kinds of vegetables and fruits commonly used in China. The results are as follows:

In addition, among many fruits and vegetables, Americans have discharged the fruit that is most beneficial to health. Among them, apple ranks first, because it is rich in fiber, which can supplement enough fiber to the human body, reduce the incidence of heart disease and lose weight. Many Americans regard apples as a necessity to lose weight and go on a diet one day a week. On this day, they only eat apples. This day is called "Apple Day".
Reminder: Although fruits and vegetables are good, they are also exquisite when eating. Why do you get angry when some people eat twice as much lychee as you and feel good about themselves? In fact, eating fruit is very particular. In addition, nutrition medical experts point out that the more fruits you eat, the better. Eating fruit must be scientific.
In addition to the anti-aging effect of vegetables and fruits, daily diet is also very important. Around the age of 40, physical strength and energy are gradually declining, and many diseases occur or bury their bane during this period. However, functional decline in middle age is not terrible. Middle-aged people can delay aging and prolong life as long as they understand the physiological and psychological characteristics of this period, know health care and pay attention to the way of health preservation.
