If you are like most people on this planet, you want to live as long as you can. You have instincts that keep you from jumping off buildings or stepping in front of moving buses. You want to stay healthy and live as long as you can. Fortunately for you, doctors and scientists are constantly looking for ways to help you stay healthy and live longer. For the most part, all you have to do is eat a healthy diet and take a few health supplements and you can live a longer and healthier life.

Let’s start by talking about the foods we eat. Eating a lot of greasy fast food isn’t good for us and we all know that. Aside from those that believe that eating nothing but protein until our bodies almost shut down is healthy, everybody knows that lots of fatty foods is not good. There was a really good movie called Super Size Me that shows what happens to you when you eat too much fast food. If you start eating more fruits and vegetables and less fatty foods, you will certainly be healthier and on your way to living longer.

Another common thing that impacts your health is the beverages you drink. Everywhere you look, people are drinking huge containers of unhealthy drinks. You can now get 64 ounce sodas at some fast food restaurants now and a 32 ounce drink is now called a medium at many places. Considering an 8 ounce serving of soda has 100 calories of sugar in it, you can see how fast that adds up when you drink it 32 or 64 ounces at a time. If you could just trade in the soda for water, you would undoubtedly be healthier and probably live longer.

Now that you are eating a healthier diet (or even if you don’t change a thing), there are several health supplements out there that can help you live a longer and healthier life. Two of these supplements are resveratrol and acai berries. They are both antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals in your body. Resveratrol is found in the skins of red grapes as well as peanuts and some berries. Resveratrol supplements are also made from the Japanese knotweed. Acai berries are super high in antioxidants and also contain beneficial omega fatty acids and dietary fiber. There are many health supplements that can help you live a healthier and longer life, but these are two of the most popular right now.
