How to slow down ageing
SBS has recently put on a show about ageing. According to this show, a way to slow ageing is to eat oily fish. Not the nicest sounding way to slow that evil ageing process, but worth a try!!! Sources of oily fish include tuna and sardines.
The show also told of the worst things to eat to slow ageing. Sugar is the worst cause of speeding the ageing process up!! Pasta, rice and potatoes are the other sources of food which should not be eaten regularly if wanting to not age as quickly. Sources of sugar can be from things like chocolate or lollies to cakes and muffins. Pasta, rice and potatoes come under the category of carbohydrates - these are known as simple carbohydrates. You want more complex carbohydrates ( e.g vegetables) rather than simple carbohydrates - your potatoes, rice and pasta category. For more info about this jump onto:
