3 Foods That Extend Time

Eating foods that are good for you can make you feel better not only right now, but in the future as well. Here are three tasty foods to keep you happy and healthy for years to come!

1. Tomatoes. Lycopene is an antioxidant in tomatoes that helps your eyesight and, if you're a man or love someone who is, may help reduce risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes are also rich in vitamins C, A and K, as well as potassium and fiber.
Benefits: Tomatoes can help keep your teeth, bones, skin and hair healthy, plus lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

2. White tea. Though not as well known as its green counterpart, white tea actually has more antioxidants than green tea.
Benefits: White tea can help reduce risk of some cancers, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and help promote healthy teeth, skin and gums.

3. Salmon. Salmon is filled with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as protein, which helps keep you full.
Benefits: Salmon can help prevent blood clots, slow age-related cognitive decline and reduce inflammation.
