Low Calorie Foods Make the Best Anti Aging Diet
According to researchers, the best anti aging diet is the one that contains low calorie low carbohydrate foods. If you want to reverse the process of aging, then it is best to bring about some changes in your lifestyle and incorporate low calorie nutritious foods in your diet plan. It has been observed that people who restrict their intake of calories live longer. It has also been clinically tested on animals such as rats and monkeys.
When we talk about low calorie foods, it means you should consume high calorie energy foods in excessive quantities but at the same time, you can look young and beautiful if you eat a well balanced diet full of nutrients. When there is deficiency of nutrients in the body, it causes the body to become weak and you start looking dull and pale. There is no glow on the face.
People who resort to dieting do the worst to their bodies. They don’t eat food at all and the result is that the body fails to get the essential nutrients required by the body. In this way, they look unhealthy and also it seems as if they are growing in age. In this, less calorie intake is believed to be the key to success.
In this article, we bring forth a plan that has proved to be quite useful for many people. Calorie intake would differ from person to person depending upon the age, height, weight and of course the level of physical activity of the person.
The plan goes as follows:
In the breakfast, you can eat near about 145 gram cottage cheese. It does not have any fat content and contains 120 calories. Along with it, you can have 1 oz almonds in its raw form and this would have somewhere around 160 calories. In addition to it, you can also eat 150 gram strawberries and this would have around 50 calories. The plan even allows you to take a nutritious snack having around 200 calories. This makes a total of 530 calories for breakfast. Well, the breakfast is quite filling, as it is the most important meal of the day.
For lunch, if you are a non-vegetarian, you can have chicken breast in any form; be it roasted or boiled. You can consume 140 gram chicken which contains somewhere around 230 calories.
There is an interesting recipe that I would like to brief. To prepare the dish, in addition to chicken, you need ½ cup broccoli and that would contain near about 25 calories, 60 gram cauliflower (15 calories), 1 tablespoon olive oil (120 calories), 1 medium size orange ( 65 calories) and lastly half teaspoon herbs and spices to taste ( 5 calories). To make the food item, you need to cook the chicken on low flame and then add cauliflower and broccoli to it. Now put the spices, herbs and olive oil in it and mix it well and your dish is ready. Orange can be had after the meal. The total calorie intake will be 460 calories.
For evening snack, you can have 1 cup yoghurt and 6 macadamia nuts that add up to 220 calories and for dinner, you can cook any green leafy vegetable with less oil.
