Anti Aging--For a less sweet but longer life

• In addition to diet and exercise, below is what I feel is important .I'm not a doctor so always check with your doctor before starting any nutritional program
  

• Insulin Plays Central Role In Aging, Scientists Discover -"insulin regulates its own production and that it directly regulates tissue aging. The principle: Keep insulin levels low and cells are stronger, staving off infection and age-related diseases such as cancer,dementia and stroke"
  

• "According to a research conducted recently, the fewer calories an animal consumes -provided malnutrition is avoided - the slower an animal ages and the lower the death rate from cancer, heart disease and diabetes" - Some theorize that calorie restriction slows aging because it keeps insulin level low "
  

• So My Advice:Try to cut down on your sugar intake.instead of adding 2 teaspoon of sugar in your cup of tea or coffee,try 1 teaspoon (Decrease the sugar intake gradually otherwise you will find yourself craving for sweets,and that is not what we want.) ,and enjoy the tea or coffee at its best (you will get used to it that way and once you get used to it you will find the sugar rich version less appealing,believe me). This will mean lower production of insulin in your body,and also lower intake of calories,which according to the researches above results in longer life span.Also there is additional benefit of weight loss as you take in lesser calories.
  

• Whenever you feel an urge to eat some thing sweet,instead of eating sweets full of sugar and fat,try eating Dates (my personal favorite). Also you could try any other fruit you want (in moderate amount ,too much of anything is bad).So go on. Try it.( I can't resist the temptation to say this"Sugar is a sweet and slow poison")
