How to Fend Off Aging with Healthy Foods
09.26.09
Healthy foods are not the most well liked. But, they can certainly be very good with very little involved. If you have problems eating fruit then you may want to read the information below for some extra motivation.
There are many healthy foods that also fight off wrinkles and other signs of aging. Actually, by just eating right you can help yourself look younger and you will live longer. In other words, you should forego that peanut butter crunch bar and instead grab a handful of nuts. Sound not nearly as appealing? It may by the time you are done reading…
Below is just a sampling of healthy foods that are proven age-fighters:
• Oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits
Oranges and other citrus and extremely high in vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the best products out there as it literally seals up the wrinkles and cracks in your skin. Vitamin C is used widely in topical anti-aging products. However, the ability to heal from within is also important and eating oranges will give you a major dose of this vitamin.
• Walnuts
Walnuts have some of the most antioxidants. Which makes them good providers of cancer fighting compounds. They not only interfere with skin cancer development, but they also fight discoloration and other environmental weathering.
• Green tea
Green tea is also a wonderful source for antioxidants.
• Almonds
Almonds and almond oil are full of vitamin E. If you apply vitamin E topically then it will lighten scars and stretch marks. It can also diminish existing age spots. Taken internally vitamin E will actually help to prevent age spots from forming.
(Note: if you take vitamin E and are having surgery anytime soon, you will want to ask you doctor about the correct to take. Some people will bleed more when taking extra vitamin E, so you may just want to stop taking any supplement at this time)
As you can see, there are a lot of positives to healthy eating. Next time you want to eat junk food and skip the healthy foods, just read this list again for the motivation you need.
