Fabulous foods that fight aging!!!
50 is the new 30. Just ask the gorgeous Demi Moore, who recently celebrated the big 5-0. We may not have an entourage of dermatologists with science’s greatest and latest skin remedies to combat age, but we hope we are as stunning as Demi when we’re older. (Err, minus the nervous breakdown and the ex frolicking with a much younger woman.)
We did research on foods that fight aging (see below) and modifying our diets is way cheaper (and way less painful) than Botox!
Berries: Berries contain antioxidants that protect against diseases such as cancer and diabetes while promoting cell growth. Here’s another hint; the deeper and richer the color of the berries, the more antioxidants they have.
Vitamin C: This antioxidant is key when it comes to healthy skin and can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps repair damaged body tissues. For your daily serving of vitamin C, try broccoli, Brussels sprouts, peppers, kiwi, strawberries, and oranges.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Healthy fats help prevent heart disease, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure. They’re found in coldwater fish like salmon, herring, tuna, and sardines. “If you don’t like fish, you may want to take a fish oil supplement. Studies show that people who eat a lot of fish live longer,” Levine said. She recommends at least two servings per week.
Cocoa beans: Cocoa beans contain antioxidants and flavonoids that help reduce inflammation in the skin caused by exposure to UV light. Fighting wrinkles by indulging in dark chocolate? We’re in!
Vitamin E: This antioxidant helps decrease inflammation and improve eye/skin health. Try nuts, avocados, dark leafy greens, and whole grains for your daily serving of vitamin E.
