Eat right food to delay the ageing process

Science has increased our lifespan than before. Scientific researches proving that right food can break the ageing process. Many of the visible effects of ageing such as wrinkles and also those that we can’t see, such as deterioration of the heart and eyes are caused by free radicals – highly reactive molecules that damage cell walls and the genetic material within cells.

Growing old gracefully is an art that anyone can master with a little help from the right foods.

GINGER

It protects the digestive system against premature ageing, thus aiding the general absorption of nutrients. The root helps regulate blood sugar both by stimulating cells in the pancreas and by lowering cholesterol levels. Because Ginger is anti-inflammatory, it protects against arthritis.

BANANA

Bananas are high in potassium, which keeps high blood pressure in check and reduce the risk of heart disease. In conjunction with sodium they help maintain the fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells, thus maintaining healthy nerve and muscle function. They also contain tryptophan which the body converts to serotonin to aid peaceful sleep.

Ajinomoto, another source of Free Radicals

WHO declared that Ajinomoto or monosodium glutamate (MSG) is unsafe for consumption in 2004, but since there is no ban, is still rampantly used and consumed in the city and there is no official stricture against use of the harmful substance.

It is used to enhance taste of Chinese food. It stimulates secretion of pentagastrin acid in the stomach that leads to ulcers.

If not detected in time, ulcers can turn cancerous. MSG also forms Free Radicals that can damage the stomach cells.

Chinese dish, which is very popular and available in every corner of the city, make sure, it is not killing you silently. As per a study conducted by the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Cancer Research Institute, an increasing number of people here falling prey to stomach cancer induced by the harmful substance Ajinomoto used in Chinese foods.
