Recipe For Positive Aging

Slow Your Aging With This Recipe

We all have to experience aging as part of the life on earth process. Here is an idea of the simplest, safest quickest way to drink from the fountain of youth and reap the benefit of successful aging. Make fresh soup with the freshest most antioxidant pact ingredients.

There is an enormous bounty of gifts from Mother Nature to accommodate anyone looking to naturally feel great and look good as the years go by. A favorite of mine is butternut Squash. The very color of butternut squash gives you a hint of its antioxidant giving qualities for positive aging. Fruits and vegetables that are bright yellow have beta carotene. This is a master antioxidant used by the body to demolish free radicals. One of the areas that benefit from free radical scavengers is the eyes. Every aging person need to protect their vision for as long as possible to avoid costly eye surgery caused primarily by aging.

Here is my recipe for Cream of Butternut Squash Soup

Buy a small fresh butternut squash. This vegetable is readily available in the supermarket in any season but is more abundant in the fall. Even if you think you don’t know how to cook, try to attempt this. Use your microwave oven to cook the squash, following your manufacturer’s directions. It should take no longer than 7 – 10 minutes, even less. Another benefit is that this recipe has fresh ginger which has been used since ancient times to boost immunity and as an aid to positive aging. It also has cinnamon a spice now known to have a positive effect on managing mature on set diabetes.
