Anti-aging Diet

Most people look forward to the weekend so they could rest, spend time in church fellowship, hang out with family and friends, finish their long overdue DIY projects, or just eat and eat. 

There are many diets that claim to be beneficial one way or the other. 

Today's blogpost will feature some anti-aging diets... you'll know why later.

Wildberry Cafe's Fresca omelette and Garden skillet

I enjoy the weekend because it's the time for me to be with my family especially my husband.  On Saturday, we had breakfast at Wildberry Cafe.  We got there at 8am which was good because we were seated right away and at the same booth where we were the first time.  Oh, we had a heavy breakfast and although our orders had no meat in them, they were rich and very delicious, as always.  By the time we finished our meal, the place was packed with many people still waiting in line.

Later that day, we had visitors at my in-laws place where we had more food.  There was no special occasion to celebrate - just bonding with family and friends.  We had "lechon pata" or roasted pork thigh.  This was no ordinary roasting - it took 5 hours to cook and crisp the skin.  Ohhhh... it was absolutely delicious and definitely part of the anti-aging diet such that you might not reach full life potential!  But then again... eating a little won't hurt.

And then, we had more anti-aging food... FOR REAL.

Have you tried eating Kale or Whole Foods' raw kale salad?  It was my first time to try and I must say that I loved it.  Kale belongs to the family of collard greens and they are absolutely packed with nutrients, cholesterol lowering properties, etc.  I've always thought that kale was tough to eat and difficult to prepare but the WF raw kale salad was wonderful - it had tomatoes, cranberries, pine nuts,  and a EVOO-lemon dressing.  They have a kale salad recipe on their website that I will try soon.

Have a great and healthy week!
