Eat up These Foods to Look Younger
You would think seasonal fruits and vegetables would be the key to a healthy diet and a healthier you.
For the most part I'd agree.
Figure into the equation more than just what you and I grow in the garden.
From Health.com there are eight specific foods that can make you look younger. And who wouldn't want that?
- Watermelon-It has Lycopene, which acts like a natural sunscreen and prevents UV damage. One serving is like putting on SPF 3
- Pomegranates-They have a ton of antioxidants that increase collagen production in your skin, to prevent wrinkles
- Blueberries-The vitamin C and vitamin E help brighten your skin
- Lobster and other shellfish-The zinc accelerates the renewal of skin cells, and it can help with acne
- Kale-The vitamin K helps with blood clotting, which can prevent you from getting dark circles under your eyes. It also has a ton of iron, and if you don't have enough iron in your diet, you start to look pale
- Cantaloupe-The vitamin A helps prevent your pores from getting clogged
- Avocados-The omega-9 fatty acids help your skin retain moisture and look young
- Walnuts-The omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E help keep your hair looking healthy. They're also loaded with copper, and researchers think that having a copper deficiency is one of the things that causes grey hair
