Hum Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 1. Pink Grapefruit Juice for Smoother Skin Pink grapefruit gets its pink-red hue from lycopene, a carotenoid that'll keep your skin smooth. 2. Alcohol to Ward Off Alzheimer's Disease Drinking alcohol--moderately, which is one glass a day for women and two daily for men--may ward off dementia and Alzheimer's disease. 3. Cocoa for a Healthier Heart Rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. 4. Beet Juice to Beat Dementia Beets are rich in naturally occurring nitrates, which--unlike unhealthy artificial nitrates found in processed meat--may be beneficial. 5. Green Tea to Quell Inflammation Green tea is full of potent antioxidants that help quell inflammation. (Chronic inflammation plays a significant role--as either a cause or effect--in many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases and the three top killers in the United States: heart disease, cancer and stroke.) 6. Soymilk for Firm Skin and Fewer Wrinkles The isoflavones in soymilk may help to preserve skin-firming collagen. 7. Milk to Build Muscle Mass and Strength The amino acids in protein are the building blocks of muscle--and one amino acid, called leucine, is particularly good at turning on your body's muscle-building machinery. 8. Carrot Juice for Memory Carrots contain luteolin, a flavonoid believed to reduce inflammation that can lead to cognitive decline. 9. Coffee to Protect Against Skin Cancer Drinking a single cup of coffee daily may lower your risk of developing skin cancer. 10. Water for Better Breath Water keeps your throat and lips moist and prevents your mouth from feeling dry. Dry mouth can cause bad breath and/or an unpleasant taste. 11. Orange Juice for Eye Health Studies show that people with low levels of antioxidants are more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD) than those with higher levels. (AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over age 60.) Vitamin C--which is abundant in orange juice--is one antioxidant that seems to be especially protective against the disease. full article Vvo and Charisma 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted February 4, 2013 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 4, 2013 So can I just put all 11 liquids in a blender, then drink them at once ... ? :huh: so, why can't they mix it together to creates all-in-one anti-aging drinks ? These ingredients can't be mixed to create one super cocktail because 1) some of them conflict with each other like milk and alcohol, for example; 2) mixing just any two of them can potentially eliminate the advantageous properties of both substances. Anyways, I give the author of list a D+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Alcohol is an anti-aging drink: women look younger and more attractive the more wasted you get. I am sure it also works in the reverse for women. FiB3R 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 I don't think drinking alcohol daily can save you from any disease, it will become a habbit that is injerious to our health. I have never became addicted to alcohol or caffeine, or much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I don't think drinking alcohol daily can save you from any disease, it will become a habbit that is injerious to our health. Don't be so ridiculous. I drink when I feel like it - it is far from habitual or addictive and has never caused me any concern. This whole "If you drink you will become a drunk" hogswash is so bloody annoying! FiB3R and Hum 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
