(Ecns.cn) -- Most people associate summer with feeling healthier as we usually lose our appetite for greasy food in the seasonal warmth and sunlight. Therefore, vegetables usually become extremely popular at the dinner table. Here, we will look at 22 kinds of anti-aging foods that are both good in taste and healthy.
No. 22 Walnuts
As one of the best plant sources of protein, walnuts are rich in fiber, vitamin B, and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and diaminocaproic acid, which is good for the brain. Statistics show that the trophic value contained in half a kilogram of walnuts equates to that in 2.5 kilograms of eggs or in 4.5 kilograms of milk.
No.21 Eggs
That's right, eggs! They are a useful source of protein, iodine, and essential vitamins and are helpful in retaining memory. Egg yolks can help the body produce vitamin H, which is known as an important "beauty assistant."
No.20 Mushrooms
Mushrooms have been in use for ages not only for consumption purposes, but also for medicinal purposes due to their nutritional values.
Being rich in fiber, protein, and vitamin C, mushrooms help maintain a healthy metabolism, and they are even good for those who want to keep fit and those who suffer from constipation. Moreover, mushrooms have very few calories and contain approximately 80 to 90 percent water.
No.19 Potatoes
Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates that supply energy, yet not all that high in calories. One medium-sized potato (about 3 inches in diameter) has about 150 calories. That same sized potato has about 5 grams of fiber important for a healthy digestive tract. They're also a healthy source of vitamins and minerals, which are useful in eliminating bags under your eyes. Therefore, freshly sliced potatoes can be used as smoothing eye masks.
No.18 Chocolate
Loaded with xanthenes, which is like caffeine, chocolate can make a person feel excited. Chocolate lovers enjoy both the flavor and the feeling of chocolate melting in their mouth, making it a "comfort food."
Chocolate is also good for teeth as it can help to slow the process of decay, which is normally the result of tooth demineralization.
No.17 Caraway
As a common seasoning in the kitchen, caraway is rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese. It has a good amount of potassium, zinc, copper, and selenium as well as small amount of sodium. It gives quick relief from flatulence and can be used as a diuretic.
Medicinally, caraway can be used to prevent cancer and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
No.16 Soybeans
Soybeans contain carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals like calcium, folic acid, and iron. The protein in soybean has all the essential amino acids adequate for human health.
As one of the most important sources of estrogen, soybeans are, without a doubt, especially important for females.
