Live better, eat better.


To improve your quality of life, you have to eat better. Here are a few examples: Eating food with Trans fats may cause inflammation and inflammation of the joints is not only for the aged.

Remember, eating crap can make you looking older than you really are. Diets with too much sugar and carbohydrates like pasta and bread can damage your skin’s collagen. Collagen helps keeping your skin supple and also fights wrinkles.

Anything that's deep-fried in oil can add to inflammation throughout your body. Especially avoid Trans fats. It can raise your LDL "bad" cholesterol and lower HDL "good" cholesterol, which increases your risk for heart disease.

 What is more, unhealthy foods mentioned above also put your overall health on the line and may even lead to heart disease or diabetes.

Watch out for another scoundrel: alcohol. Moderate drinking may be good for your heart, but heavy drinking can accelerate the aging process. "Moderate" is one drink per day for women (such as a 5-ounce glass of wine or 12-ounce glass of beer) and two drinks for men.

Remember the saying: “you are what you eat or drink”!
