Healthy Aging

Getting older. Whether we like it or not, it happens to all of us. Over the years, our bodies are exposed to oxidation, a process that causes damage to our cells. As a result, we age, and our risk for various chronic diseases increases. 

While we can't completely escape the effects of oxidative stress on our bodies, we can slow it down to a certain extent by eating foods high in antioxidants, staying physically active, and focusing on mental health. Most antioxidants are found in plant foods, and this explains why it is so beneficial to consume fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and seeds like chia!
