Munch your way to longevity.
We all want to stay healthy and active for as many years as we can, and one way to fight aging is to eat foods that support health at the cellular level.
Aging occurs in many ways, from our joints getting creaky to bigger problems, like dementia. Two processes are being studied for their role in aging: one is cell senescence and the other is damage to the telomeres on your DNA.
In cell senescence, a cell stops dividing normally and just hangs around, creating inflammatory chemicals that can harm surrounding cells. Telomeres, which are like little caps on the end of your DNA, fray and shorten as you age, which is associated with declining health. Both processes are affected by lifestyle, and can be decreased with good food choices.
We spoke with four nutrition experts to recommend the top snacks for slowing down the aging process. Here’s what they suggest snacking on.
