May food be your only remedy
Let this thought of Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician and philosopher, considered the father of medicine, be the keynote of your life. You can trust him because he lived to the ripe old age of 90, promoting a diet rich in fruit and vegetables.

Practical fruit and vegetables
Considering modern research, fruit and vegetables should be eaten up to five times a day in portions - 300 g of fruit and 400 to 500 g of vegetables. A good apple or a large orange is about 250 g, more or less the same is the weight of a pear, a dozen strawberries or a handful of cherries is about 150 g.
To meet the daily requirement, it is enough to finish (or start) each meal by eating fruit. You can also eat one fruit-only meal a day - e.g. breakfast or dinner.
- Although there are diet schools that recommend eating fruit by 3 p.m. in order not to produce too many acids during the night.
When it comes to vegetables - the most practical thing is to eat them in the form of soup. Hot in cold weather - cold in hot weather. There are so many vegetables and recipes to make them, enough for a whole year! It's good to remember that even frozen fruit and vegetables retain some of their nutritional properties, but of course, fresh is best. And lettuce and its great effect on he alth should be remembered.
Valuable for he alth and beauty - yogurt
Legend says that yogurt was brought to earth by angels to extend the life of the prophet Abraham. And in - as in every legend - there is a grain of truth, because at the beginning of the 20th century, the Nobel Prize winner in the field of biology, professor Ilya Mechnikov, conducted research onlongevity among the population of centenarians in southern Bulgaria. And he discovered that the shepherds living there for over 100 years mainly eat … yoghurt. Their longevity was caused by the inhibition of the digestive tract degradation process, consisting in its increasing sterilization with age. Thanks to the consumption of yogurt, the bacterial flora in the digestive tract is rebuilt. The body's immune system is also strengthened.
The second important property of yogurt is that it provides a large amount of calcium to the body, which prevents osteoporosis and other bone diseases that appear after the age of 60.
Wholemeal bread, water and a glass of red wine …
Wholemeal bread is high in fiber, which in turn plays an important role in preventing aging. Enriched with linseed, it will provide omega-3 acid, so important for the body.
Water - when we are dehydrated we feel bad. Water is extremely important because most of us are made of it. Cell aging is associated with increasing water loss. Remember that the older we get, the less we feel thirsty. So you have to remember to stay hydrated.
A glass of red wine does not hurt, on the contrary, because the polyphenols contained in wine delay the aging process. This is what the latest scientific research says!
And more chocolate!
It is rich in antioxidants. Cocoa is perhaps the richest source of protective flavonoids. But its role in bringing pleasure, which is invaluable to your well-being, cannot be overlooked either. If you already get old - it means having a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
