Look & Feel Young at Any Age…

1. Keep Yourself Well Hydrated!

Remember, your body is composed of 70–80% water. Staying hydrated helps flush out accumulated toxins, keeps your skin healthy, aids digestion, and improves blood circulation. Aim for 8–12 cups of water per day!

2. Spice Up Your Life

Herbs and spices have been used for centuries as both flavor enhancers and natural remedies. Start your day with zaatar, such as our gluten-free Zaatar Granola Mix with Greek yogurt. Zaatar has been shown to soothe bronchitis and digestive issues. Add cardamom to your brown rice dishes to alleviate constipation symptoms, and sip on chamomile and turmeric herbal teas to help reduce gut and joint inflammation.

3. Have an Antioxidant-Rich Diet: 

Antioxidants keep your cells healthy and youthful, helping to delay or prevent age-related diseases and reduce stress. To incorporate them into your diet, use plant-based oils like extra virgin avocado, olive, and coconut oils in your dishes and cooking. Not only do these oils prevent free radical formation, but they are also anti-inflammatory and rich in vitamin E. Enjoy our Gluten-Free Fruit Granola and Berry Muesli Mix, or include a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables such as berries, apricots, plums, broccoli, spinach, and beets.

4. Eat Your Vitamin E and C: 

These vitamins are known for their benefits to skin health and appearance, as they are commonly used in anti-aging creams. Including foods rich in vitamin E and C in your diet is an effective way to support cell regeneration. Vitamin E is abundant in raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.), and seeds like chia and flaxseeds. Vitamin C is found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables, such as kiwi, oranges, and bell peppers. Organic tomatoes and organic tomato sauce are also rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.

5. Keep Your Gut Healthy:

An unhealthy gut can impact your overall health, particularly the appearance of your skin, leading to issues like acne, inflammation, and eczema. Gut inflammation is common among people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Replace gluten-containing products with gluten-free alternatives such as quinoa, organic gluten-free oat flakes, and chickpea- or pea-based pasta. Include probiotics (e.g., kimchi, yogurt, and kefir) and prebiotic-rich foods (such as lentils and beans) in your diet. Additionally, practice mindful breathing and meditation, as these have been shown to reduce stress and improve gut health.

6. Be Active!

If a fitness class or structured sport feels too intense for you, include one hour of daily moderate physical activity, such as walking or gardening, to improve your circulation and boost your metabolic rate. Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible, or go for a walk rather than watching TV.
