There are probably as many diets out there as there are people to eat them and I have put together 7 of my favorite techniques to improve your health and expand your lifespan. Some of this stuff is just common knoweldge the problem is it is such common knoweldge that no one does it. We all know we should be but none of us do.

1. Avoid eating manufactured foods:- You body was not designed to live on pastries, cookies and candies none of which offer any significant food value or benefit. Keep to natural foods which are made from whole foods (a potato not potato chips) . A grilled chicken breast and not a chicken burger. If you think how food is prepared and where it comes from before cooking it (an how it's cooked) you won't go far wrong

2. Stop stuffing yourself full:- Your body will be happier with 5 smaller meals a day rather than binging and eating until you can hardly move. There is nothing wrong at all with much smaller main meals and healthy snacks if you become hungry. This sort of diet will help keep your digestive system in good condition one of the first things to suffer and the easiest to improve to prevent premature aging.

3.You can't get enough fiber and avoid refined foods:- Foods which contain fiber (back to natural again) help the bodies digestive system function at it's peak which means it can expell harmful toxins and the like more effeciently and last longer.

Avoid not drinking enough water:- If you have never heard this before I'm shocked. Our bodies thrive on water and suffer if they don't get enough. When we eat the wrong sorts of foods or drink alcohol we become dehydrated and our body needs to rehydrate. By drinking plenty of water we also flush the kidneys which helps the body naturally remove toxins and other noxious substances.

5. Stop eating bad fats:- Most of will claim we don't know the difference but who are we kiding we all now that we eat burgers because they taste better than grilled chicken. Fat which come from animals (saturated fats) and those manufactured (trans fats) are more harmful than fats from plants such as olive oil and avocado oil. Note: All fats make you fat and contain about the same number of calories.

6. Avoid a diet high in one food group only: - Many people are tempted to have a diet for example that contains no fat (which is hardly possible) or in excess in protein such as Atkins. No safe diet long term works unless it contains a balance of carbs, protein and fats and also needs an adequate amount of fiber. So if you going to eat a meal make sure you balance the amounts of protein and fat and carbs and you won't go far wrong. Consider just as much how you prepare food as you do what you are actually eating.

7.Avoid a sugar rush or a sugar low:- One of the biggets stresses you can put on your body is a massive sugar rush or a sudden sugar drop. In diabetic's these are refered to as hypo's or hypoglycemic attack.Many people believe this is just a problem for diabetics but it has been shown that these constant irregularities in blood sugar can lead to serious health problems and reduce your life expectancy. This can be quite easily prevented by combining less healthy foods (those with a low Glycemic index) with slower release foods. A good example we have all come across is meat and potatoes.

Few people actually understand how their diet and even how they eat and prepare food can shorten or indeed lengthen the time our bodies will last but by watching what we eat we can even reduce the aging process.
