Summer seasonal fruits and vegetables

With the arrival of summer, it's important to make the most of the benefits offered by seasonal fruits and vegetables, which are rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients for a healthy lifestyle. Consuming these foods not only helps to combat aging, but also contributes to overall well-being thanks to their nutritional properties. All of this is even more effective when combined with our Long Life Formula® Evergreen program.

A treasure trove of fresh and tasty fruits and vegetables

Among the fruits:

1. Watermelon: rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and protects the skin from sun damage;
2. Melon: contains beta-carotene, vitamin C, and antioxidants that improve skin elasticity and combat aging;
3. Blueberries: these small fruits are known for their high content of anthocyanins, which protect cells from oxidative damage and improve cardiovascular health;
4. Peaches: a source of vitamins A and C, which help keep the skin healthy and glowing;
5. Strawberries: rich in vitamin C and manganese, important for collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection;
6. Cherries: contain anthocyanins and quercetin, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Summer seasonal vegetables:

1. Tomatoes: in addition to being an excellent source of vitamin C, they are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against various types of cancer and cardiovascular disease;
2. Zucchini: contain vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, which support skin health and immune function;
3. Bell peppers: especially red ones, are rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, which protect the skin and improve vision;
4. Cucumbers: hydrating and rich in silicon, they help keep the skin elastic and youthful;
5. Green beans: a source of vitamin K, folate, and fiber, important for bone health and metabolic regulation.

To get the most benefit from summer fruits and vegetables, it is essential to consider the cooking method and how they are consumed. For example, cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes are ideal for fresh salads. When cooking is necessary, prefer methods that preserve nutrients, such as steaming or quick stir-frying. Zucchini and green beans can be steamed for a few minutes to retain their vitamins and minerals. Grilling is also an excellent option to enhance the flavor of vegetables like bell peppers without destroying their nutrients. Long cooking times, especially at high temperatures, should be avoided, as they can degrade heat-sensitive vitamins such as vitamin C. Avoid boiling vegetables for too long or cooking them in a pressure cooker for extended periods.

Antioxidants and lifestyle

Antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are a major cause of aging. Incorporating these foods into a balanced diet can significantly improve quality of life and help maintain a youthful and healthy appearance, especially when combined with our nutritional supplements.
