Turmeric

Turmeric’s yellow pigment curcumin helps prevent telomeres from shortening. These are the

end caps of our DNA and when shortened are a leading cause in aging and degenerative
diseases. The shorter they get, the more cellular aging takes place, as well as increased risks for

heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Cold Water Fish & Seafood

Cold water oily fish such as tuna, wild salmon, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, and trout are great

sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids offer key health benefits in aging

• Reduction in elevated blood triglyceride levels

• Healthy cholesterol and heart health

• Can alleviate joint pain and stiffness that results

from rheumatoid arthritis

• Limited research suggests that omega-3 fatty
acids may help protect against dementia

conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and

may also prevent age related gradual memory

loss linked to aging. These studies are limited and so not conclusive, but they are

promising.
• Proven to help keep your skin looking radiant and help prevent skin cancer

• One type of omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), is known

for its ability to protect and maintain the fibrous protein that makes your skin taut, and

firm in your youth called collagen. EPA also repairs damage caused by the sun’s harmful
rays.
