    1: Nuts

    Nuts contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats to keep your arteries clear, as well as levels of precursors of serotonin to boost mood. One ounce a day is just right; more is fine, but remember to be careful of calorie overload - an ounce is about twelve walnuts or twenty-four almonds.

    RealAge Difference:
    Men: 3.3 years younger, Women: 4.4 years younger

    2: Fish


    Fish (especially wild salmon, whitefish, tilapia, catfish, flounder and mahi mahi) contain artery-clearing omega-3 fatty acids. Serving size recommendation is 13.5 ounces a week (or three servings about the size of your fist).

    RealAge Difference:
    2.8 years younger

    3: Soybeans


    Soybeans contain heart- and artery-healthy protein and fiber. The recommended serving is one cup a day.

    RealAge Difference:
    0.4 years younger

    4: Tomato Juice and Spaghetti Sauce

    Tomato juice and spaghetti sauce contain folate, lycopene and other nutrients to keep arteries young. The recommended serving is 8 ounces a day of juice; 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce a day.

    RealAge Difference:
    At least 1 year younger

    5: Oils

    Olive oil, nut oils, fish oils, flaxseed and avocados contain heart-healthy mono-unsaturated omega-3 and omega-9 fats. Twenty-five percent of daily calories should be healthy fats.

    RealAge Difference:
    3.4 years younger
