10 Years Younger In 10 Days

By Joanna Slip

How to look 10 years younger in 10 days as promoted on the Oprah show is generating a great deal of interest. The show was amazing in it's simplicity by focusing on eating commonly known foods. The benefits gained from eating healthy foods are often overlooked. According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, certain foods help you look younger! According to Dr. Perricone and Dr. Oz eating "super foods" is easy. Oprah Winfrey did it. She wanted to look 10 years younger in 10 days and decided to try it.

What are the 10 Super foods? And are they easy to find? If the foods needed to make you look 10 years younger in 10 days are hard to find the it will be hard to keep at it. As luck would have it the foods are moderately common and some can even be found in pill or powder form which makes things even easier. The following is a list of the super foods that are supposed to make you look 10 years younger in 10 days as seen on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

1. Anything in the "Allium Family" - Garlic, scallions, chives, onions, leeks, and shallots do wonders for your helath. All can help your liver eliminate toxins and carcinogens. I love garlic but aren't fond of the others unless they are well cooked and hidden amongst other foods. In general, as a food group these are very inexpensive and very easy to find.

2. Barley - This grain can be used as a breakfast cereal, as a rice substitute and in soups and stews. Barley is also super high in fiber, helping metabolize cholesterol, fats, and carbohydrates. Barley is an ol-fashioned staple food. Barley is inexpensive and very easy to find.

3) Acai Berry - This little berry is one of the most nutritious, powerful and hyped foods in the world. It can often be found in juice form in natural food stores. Prior to the Oprah Show I had never heard of the acai berry. I will check at my local natural food store to find out about availability and pricing.

4) Green Foods - We all know to eat our spinach. Green Foods can also help manage cholesterol and blood pressure. Green foods like wheat and barley grasses can be bought in powder, tablet or juice form, and offer greater levels of nutrients than green leafy vegetables. The powder or the tablet form would be extremely easy to add to my daily food intake. Greens are easy to find and relatively inexpensive

5) Buckwheat: Seed & Grain - Buckwheat is loaded with protein. It also stabilizes blood sugars and is high in amino acids. Buckwheat is inexpensive and very easy to find. It does have an acquired taste though and is my least favorite of the super foods intended to make you look 10 years younger in 10 days..

6) Yogurt and Kefir - Yogurt and Kefir are cultured foods that contain healthful bacteria that aid immune function. Slightly more therapeutic and healthy than yogurt, Kefir supplies a complete protein, essential minerals, and some B vitamins. Yogurt is easy to find and inexpensive but make sure you buy yogurt with no added sugar. Kefir is slightly harder to find and slightly more expensive.

7) Nuts & Seeds - Nuts and seeds are an excellent source of nutrition. Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachio nuts contain Omega 3 fatty acids. Raw, unsalted nuts and seeds are healthiest for your heart. Nuts are easy to find and are moderately inexpensive. Try a small handful of nuts for a snack or sprinkle nuts on your salad or yogurt..

8. Beans & Lentils - You can reduce your cholesterol while beefing up on folic acid, antioxidants, and potassium. Try kidney, pinto, chickpeas, black, navy, soybeans, peas and/or lentils. The options within this grouping of foods is endless. Beans and lentils might be the easiest to enjoy of all of the super foods discussed on Oprah Winfrey?s show on how to look 10 years younger in 10 days. I eat chickpeas all the time in hummous. Hummous adds two superfoods together, namely chickpeas and garlic. Also with tahini (sesame paste) it potentially adds another category of super food. Hummous might be the perfect food.

9) Peppers - Both bell peppers, chili and hot peppers contain antioxidants and have a ton of Vitamin C. They also work as fat burners. In moderation hot peppers add a touch of spice to most dishes. Bell peppers are a great addition to most dishes or salads. Peppers are easy to find and can be inexpensive.

10. Sprouts - There are numerous varieties of sprouts. The most common are bean sprouts and alfalfa sprouts. They're a great source of both Vitamin C and protein.. Try adding them to any dish and your immune system will get a turbo boost. These are both inexpensive and easy to find although be sure to wash them well. The easiest and least expensive way to get spouts is to sprout your own from any type of bean. - 17274
