AGE DEFYING FOOD

1. Popcorn. It is100 percent whole grain and it’s also a great source of fiber Popcorn also has great plant chemicals called polyphenols which have anti-oxidant properties. They fight the free radicals that are in your body and in the environment that ruin skin and other body cells.
2. Potatoes. While low-carb enthusiasts might be shocked to see the potatoes presence on a power food list. Carbs are so essential because they give your body, your brain, your red blood cells, your whole nervous system the basic glucose that you need to be energized. They also enhance the production of serotonin, that wonderful chemical that keeps you from being depressed.
3. Cereal. Aim for whole grain, high fiber, low sugar cereal because the fiber and whole grains fills you up, and the whole grains protect you against disease. Cereal is also a great “cluster” food that goes well with other foods like yogurt, fruit, or nuts.

4. Nuts. A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed longevity benefits for those who ate an ounce of nuts every day. 
5. Eggs. They’re a source of high-quality protein. Two-thirds of the fat in an egg actually comes from unsaturated fats. Including it as part of your breakfast or as part of your lunch actually fills you up to the extent that you reduce your calorie intake.

"The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time."
- George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves."
