Chia Blueberry Anti-Aging Smoothie

Goal: Staying Youthful

Anti-aging tricks and gimmicks have really started taking over the health and fitness industry. While some of it is just fad, there are definitely some things that you can do to slow down those pesky wrinkles from forming.

If you don’t know this already you should really make sure to focus on the foundation of a healthy balanced diet. What you put into your body on a daily basis has a huge impact on your energy, appearance, and ability to defy aging.

This is one thing I find is often pushed aside especially with all those harsh extreme diets that eliminate almost everything without considerations of the balance of nutrients that are bodies really need to overcome everything that causes us to age.

What Causes Aging?

One of the primary causes of aging is stress, especially environmental stress that leads to wear and tear on the cellular level. Cell oxidation, or oxidative stress, damages cells and accelerates the aging process over time. There are many factors underlying oxidative stress, including both behavior and diet.

Antioxidants represent some of your best defenses against cell oxidation and the aging that ensues. This is by far the greatest benefit of antioxidants, and the main reason for their continued growing popularity among nutritionists and health gurus alike. By increasing your daily intake of antioxidants-rich foods, you’ll have a noticeable impact on your appearance and your health overall. You’ll also help reduce your risk of cancer and minimize the likelihood of developing a number of diseases and disorders.

So why not start your day with a healthy smoothie recipe that’s packed full of antioxidants and other nutrients to help slow the aging process and totally turn back the clock. This is a great shake to start your day or enjoy as a mid-afternoon snack.
