Believe it or not… we can control our own health and even slow down aging or prevent premature aging with a method as simple as just “choosing what to eat.” Let me tell you, the secret to eating for good health is just to try following these 3 tips.
1. Eat like a Paleolithic human (Paleolithic Diet)
Paleolithic Diet or eating like Paleolithic humans, which was an era before agriculture, without chemicals or pesticides. The food came entirely from nature, such as meat, fresh fruit from trees, and naturally available vegetables. It can be said to be the freshest. Of course, if we can eat in this way, it is the best choice for good health, unlike today’s food which is full of Dairy Products, meaning foods containing milk, eggs, cheese, or fried in oil, full of seasoning and processed foods.
2. Supplement what is lacking and avoid allergies with expert doctors
Doctors recommend that if you want to slow down the body’s deterioration, the first thing to do is to take care of nutrition. “When patients consult about nutrition under medical supervision, the doctor is not just a coach advising what should or should not be eaten. It may be necessary to consider individual food allergies, such as “Hidden Food Allergy” testing, which is important in Anti-aging medicine. This involves delving into what causes allergies because some foods that cause allergies can result in unexplained itching rashes or abnormal bowel movements. Some people experience diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, or water retention. Chronic food allergy testing is important. For example, some people drink milk or eat bakery products and cereals without allergic reactions on the day of consumption, but after about a week, they experience water retention and rashes. This is a key reason why Anti-Aging medicine focuses on treating the root cause for true prevention to maximize benefits for patients.”
3. Adjust nutrition according to lifestyle
For those who want to be healthy but dislike eating vegetables and fruits, doctors can provide more health care through “Nutritional status assessment to evaluate cell function efficiency” (Vitamin & Micronutrient Program), such as testing vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant levels to supplement deficiencies. This detailed test can show the amounts of various vitamins, such as Beta-carotene, whether deficient or excessive. For example, if deficient but the patient dislikes tomatoes, the doctor will choose other alternatives according to their lifestyle. Even in cases where analysis shows no need for vitamin supplements, nutrition can still be managed, and the doctor will refer the patient to a dietitian for further care.
Therefore, besides self-care that most people focus on externally (Outside In), anti-aging medicine promotes awareness of the importance of (Inside Out) what we regularly intake into our bodies, such as food and the air we breathe. Because if we choose to take good things into our bodies, it will be beneficial and worthwhile for all of our lives.
