Foods That Reverse Aging>Foods That Heal Reverse Aging And Extend Your Lifespan
If you want to live longer, make sure you eat oily fish, such as salmon or tuna once or twice a week, while you sit in the sun. In doing so you'll be following the recommendations of a six year study, incorporating the results from 57,000 volunteers in 18 separate trials, who have proved getting adequate supplies of vitamin D can not only strengthen your bones, but combat heart disease and diabetes, as well as helping you live longer. This major European study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, and the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, found those who had good levels of vitamin D had a 7% lower risk of death than those that didn't. Coming from research based on such a large sample, confirms what was already suspected, although only partly understood: vitamin D tends to slow the rate of cancer cell growth, as well as bolster the immune stystem. Vitamin D is produced by the action on sunlight on the skin. Getting a reasonable amount of sunshine during winter months in the more northerly or southerly latitudes can be a problem. A more recent study by American scientists links the lack of winter sunshine in northern Europe to an increase in cancers. Fortunately, vitamin D is also available from a certain, limited range of food, such as sardines, salmon, herring and tuna. You can also derive vitamin D from eggs, as well as small amounts from milk.
