Everyone wants to live a longer healthier life. One of the worst insults is being called 'an old' so and so. In the West old people are not merely not respected, but are really mocked for being, sick, wrinkly and forgetful. This level of disrespect is quite appalling and very shortsighted seeing as everybody wants to live a long life too.
It is not the same story all over the world. In Asia, elderly people are afforded respect only because they are old and have to do something to lose the automatic respect of strangers. It is no surprise that people want to remain looking young, although young people have much to answer for for creating this situation. Not that it is anything new, calling someone old was an insult whilst I was young too.
This state of affairs has led to people grasping at straws to retain their youth well after it is a lost cause. There are plenty of fad and unusual diets on the market and there is always a new fantastic diet or fruit to take the place of the one going out of fashion because it did not do the job.
In this article, we will take a look at some of the most famous fabulous fad diets, without really passing judgment on whether they are any good or not, because there are experts who will recommend them and experts who will denounce them and I do not know sufficient to get off the fence.
One of the latest ones was Goji berries. Goji berries apparently originated in Tibet, where a man was reported to have lived to the age of 262 after eating the berries every day. He passed away in 1930 and had wedded 14 times, leaving 11 generations behind him.
These berries are said to contain 21 minerals, 18 amino acids, Omega fatty acids and 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. These days Goji berries grow outside Tibet too and can even be found thriving wild in British hedgerows.
Aloe vera is another cure-all. I have seen raw aloe vera leaf cure skin issues, but I do not know whether creams have the same effect. In Asia, aloe vera grows wild and everyone has it in the garden..In Thailand, for example, the temperature is almost always around 35c, but if you snap a leaf in half, the gel inside is always cool.
It is said to contain about 200 active ingredients, with 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. It is most well known for its benefits to the skin, but it is also said to have benefits if taken internally. The gel is good for many items and the inside of the skin is a laxative. You can buy dried aloe vera in the form of a tea.
Grapefruit diets keep cropping up. I have known of grapefruit diets for losing weight for fifty years, but I do not know anyone who has lost weight by merely eating grapefruits. This is probably one of the more dangerous ways of attempting to remain young.
Honey and royal jelly are said to be helpful to health. Honey is the best preservative known to man. Honey is the only food that never, ever goes off and royal jelly is what bees feed their young. Honey should be consumed and rubbed on the hair and skin, possibly thinned down with olive oil.
