Learn more about anti-aging foods here: draxe.com/anti-aging-foods/
Aging is the natural process our bodies go through as we get older. However, as you may have noticed, some people who are 40 look 60 and others who are 60 look 20 years younger. Why does this happen? The type of lifestyle you lead drastically affects how quickly you age.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, Jordan Rubin and I share the 8 unexpected things aging you faster, including diet and lifestyle choices. Want to age slower? Then there are certain nutrients you must be getting in your diet on a daily basis, including antioxidants, healthy fats, minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients. In this video, we’ll also share how to keep cells young by consuming these vitamins and nutrients through healthy foods and also adjusting your lifestyle.

My grandma is 93 and is very healthy. She goes for a walk every day and eats lots of fruits and vegetables. Her mind is very sharp also. Exercise and eating healthy does work.

[@LemuelReynold]

My grand grandma is almost 100 years old and is still living until today. She walks, she talks, she still remember our (grand grandchildren) names, and surprisingly she still smoke until today.

[@angelajakob1257]

I think the most aging is, UV radiation, smoking, junk food, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress. A great part of aging is also genetic.

[@nutrimission4266]

angela jakob Yes, genetic things can be reversed sometimes though

[@heathy120]

research epi-genetics - it may surprise you

[@oletapayne3233]

I’m 74. When I was in my early 60s, my daughter and I went out to eat. The waitress made a comment about us being sisters when she waited on us. I think it made my daughter a little upset. I use to work graveyard shift and slept in the sun lathered in baby oil with a spray of water to keep me moist. I’ve done a lot of boating as I lived on Lake Erie. People still tell me how beautiful my skin is...I don’t wear makeup anymore. I do have a small trampoline in the house I use hopefully to help the lymph flow...thanks for your information. Love you guys. ❤️

[@sandeejohnson5571]

Love these guys & their Godliness! May YESHUA always bless & be with you both!

Thank you, great information. I am going to be 60 soon, and most people think I am 38. I pretty much do everything you stated here but I would like to add I drink green tea and drink lemon water everyday all day. This practice keeps me young. Keep up the great work !! Namaste

I can tell you personally this ice cream is great it's non dairy.

Cashew ice cream tastes BETTER!! So Creamy! And can make ice cream just out of frozen bananas! I use coconut water also sometimes, cinnamon etc, can make chocolate ice cream with raw cacao & raw honey :) Enjoy :) And no chemical triggers later!

Doctors you forgot the powerful Spurulina :) great antioxidants!

[@bluorb]

I love Spirulina!! But don't forget about Chlorella, also anti-aging & antioxidant :) However, if you search for either of those + Dr. Axe, you'll find that they have plenty of positive to say about both.

[@pierrelebel3167]

I am a Heath nut. After, I had taken Chorella and Spirulina for two months, I got very sick. I got huge stomach cramps, bloody stool, extreme fatigue, panic attack and memory problems. I don't say everyone will sick but could be.

I'm 74. In this picture with The Maltese Boss, I was 73. Hate to think I have to stop eating ice cream... I drink raw milk, eat mostly organic, use coconut/avocado/olive oil-all cold pressed etc, farm fresh eggs and meats from a farmer. Use coconut once in a while on face/neck and rub magnesium on my legs/neck. Other stuff but try to keep health fairly good. No medications or over the counter. Recently started Paleo Diet, make my bread, yogurt, kombucha, fermented cabbage, sometimes cheese, etc... love herbs and have an herb garden, etc... however, have vitamin D deficiency. Very particular what vitamins I use-do like the raw.
