The Best Top 5 Anti-Ageing Foods

Will You Like To Look Younger?

Beauty really does come from within. What you EAT affects the look and quality of your skin, while stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins can cause free-radical damage resulting in premature aging.
Here are 5 foods to consider for protection of your skin, from the inside out, ensuring a youthful, clear and glowing complexion!

1. Olive Oil

Four decades ago, researchers from the Seven Countries Study concluded that the mono unsaturated fats in olive oil were largely responsible for the low rates of heart disease and cancer on the Greek island of Crete. Now we know that olive oil also contains polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent age-related diseases.

Fats, in particular olive oil, also provide hydration and inside out moisture. Olives are a rich source of vitamins A and E, both of which protect the oils on the surface of yourskin from free-radical damage. Olives also help strengthen connective tissues, improving skin tone and protecting against UV radiation. The rich phenol content protects skin against oxidization. It helps repair cells, protects against damage and soothes the skin, helping it renew and regenerate.

2. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are rich in Beta Carotene, which coverts to Vitamin A in the body – a powerful anti-oxidant which has strong anti-aging benefits and protects against oxidative stress and UV damage. It revitalizes the skin by increasing cell turnover and envouraging new skin cell growth. Vitamin A also helps to normalize oil production in the skin and helps fight off acne-causing bacteria. Vitamin A and, another of sweet potatoes’ abundant nutrients, Vitamin C, work hard both to prevent acne and to heal it should it strike.

3. Fish

Thirty years ago, researchers began to study why the native Inuits of Alaska were remarkably free of heart disease. The reason, scientists now think, is the extraordinary amount of fish they consume. Fish is an abundant source of omega-3 fats, which help prevent cholesterol build up in arteries and protect against abnormal heart rhythms and anti ageing.

4. Cucumbers

Nothing screams aged skin like dehydrated skin. Hydration is key to a flawless, glow-y, youthful complexion. Proper hydration reduces the appearance of wrinkles, eliminates dryness and helps with elasticity. While water is the first thing to come to mind, the juice from watery veggies, such as cucumber, provided the same benefit. Plus the added value of vitamins, mineral and nutrients cleanse the skin and reduce inflammation and puffiness.
Be sure to keep the skin of the cucumber on, as it’s rich in silica – an important mineral that strengthens collagen and improves skin elasticity.

5. Wine

Drinking alcohol in moderation protects against heart disease, diabetes and age-related memory loss. Any kind of alcoholic beverage seems to provide such benefits, but red wine has been the focus ofmuch of the research. Red wine contains resveratrol, a compound that likely contributes to its benefits—and, according to animal studies, may activate genes that slow cellular aging.
