Ever wonder if there are simple ways to increase your life longevity? Well, these foods are the answer to living a longer life!

 

1. Avocados Might Give You a Change of Heart. 

Avocados are said to lower heart disease risk factors. They are high in antioxidants and potassium, so better break out your guacamole recipe!

2. Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Banana?

Oranges are jam-packed with Vitamin-C, which boosts your immune system and fights off cancer. 

 

3. Spinach Keeps Your Mind Sharp.

What would you do without your wit? Spinach is said to reduce the decline in brain function. That way, you're always on top of your game!

  

4. Carrots are an Eye-Opener.

The beta-carotene (a type of Vitamin A) in carrots makes for a healthy and functioning eye. Carrots help the retina, along with other parts of the eye, function effortlessly. 

  

5. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee!

Some of us need at least one cup a day in order to function properly, but there's now research behind our coffee addictions. Coffee apparently lowers rates of dementia and Parkinson's disease.
