8 Anti-Aging Foods You Should Be Eating

8. Cook Up Some Fish and Feel Good

Eating seafood can help enhance the feeling of well-being as you begin to enter your senior years. Fish are jam packed with omega-3 fats (often called “good fats") which are believed to influence the section of the brain that controls moods and attitude. Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) may also regulate blood clotting and reduce inflammation. The more oily the fish, the more omega-3 fats it contains. Wild caught salmon makes for a delicious and healthy meal. Mackerel, sardines, perch, trout and sole are also healthy options.

With fish, because of farming contamination you really have to investigate the fish you eat. All fish and shrimp from foreign countries have very little or no laws governing pollution of their waters or what level of toxins is allowed in seafood.
