Food for thought

I thought it was common knowledge, but it seems it is not the case. So here are some types of food that are beneficial to preserve or improve our health, according to a research by the University of Manchester (I’m using my memory of the original documentary). That research accompanied many people during a year to see what the results were:

 

Spinach

The richest vegetable in yellow pigment, which in turn protects our eyes photo-receptors. It delays and improves eyesight reduction due to ageing.

 

Tomato or Tomato

Its skin has properties that help to protect our skin in turn from sunray exposure. Even surfers, who are more exposed than many, noticed the improvement.

 

Fruits with berries

Rich in anti-oxidants that help to preserve our memory capability.

 

Red wine (or grape juice, and alcohol in general)

Prevents heart arrests and improves blood circulation.

 

Besides the last one, which should be taken moderately, your diet must be rich in the above.

 

I love any item of this list. Hope it’s your case too.

 

Cheers!
