An anti-aging diet focuses on foods rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to slow aging, reduce inflammation, and promote overall health. Here’s a guide to key principles and foods:

Key Principles of an Anti-Aging Diet

1. Prioritize Whole Foods – Eat fresh, unprocessed foods rich in nutrients.
2. Increase Antioxidants – Helps combat oxidative stress, a major cause of aging.
3. Support Gut Health – A healthy gut reduces inflammation and improves nutrient absorption.
4. Maintain Balanced Blood Sugar – Avoid sugar spikes that accelerate aging.
5. Stay Hydrated – Hydration keeps skin youthful and organs functioning well.
6. Choose Healthy Fats – Omega-3s and monounsaturated fats reduce inflammation and keep cells healthy.
7. Limit Processed Foods – Avoid refined carbs, trans fats, and excessive sugars.
