The best way to slow down the aging process is with a diet rich in antioxidants. A diet rich in antioxidants will help slow down the aging process and reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases.
So in fact, we should be looking for the answers to the fountain of youth within our fridges and not at the tips of Botox needles.
Berries pencil among the richest food source of antioxidants, while nuts and seeds contain essential fatty acids needed for healthy, soft supple skin.
Vitamin C is well-known for maintaining skin elasticity. The vitamin C can be a potent antioxidant and protects against any forms of free radical cellular damage. So, it is extremely vital that we include a good range of different essential vitamin citrus fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries and tomatoes) as part of our daily diets. All these vitamins will help them promote the formation of collagen, which is also vital for healthy skin as well as stronger bones, teeth and capillaries.
Don’t forget as well that zinc is a vital ingredient of more than 300 enzymes in the body and is an important free radical scavenger. So you shouldn’t miss out on getting zinc into your meals. High sources of zinc can be found in foods such as fresh oysters, herring, lobster, pumpkin seeds, turkey, chickens and eggs.
Fat-soluble vitamin A is also required for healthy skin and for the cells to reproduce properly. The vitamin A is essential to the growth and support of the skin and is great for dealing with skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis.
To help maintain the elasticity of your skin and to prevent it from drying out, or develop premature aging, start having foods with rich vitamin A content. Some examples are fish oil, and dairy products such as milk, cheese and eggs.
