Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” “Getting older is inevitable. But how fast you get there is almost completely in your hands. So start putting on the brakes by eating more of these: nuts and berries. Research shows that foods high in vitamin E (like almonds) and vitamin C (like strawberries) may help slow aging on a cellular level…. In a study, a vitamin C- and E- diet was associated with having longer telomeres. Telo what? Telomeres. Those are the vital protective coverings on the ends of the DNA strands in all of your cells. They naturally shorten with age until, eventually, cells stop reproducing and die. Enter aging and disease. But the good news is that you can slow down how fast your telomeres shrink.” (RealAge.com – Dec. 24, 2009) So make sure you are eating nuts and berries and other vitamin C and E rich foods like fruits and vegetables to stay younger longer and slow down the aging process!
