The Best Foods To Eat For Anti-Aging!

In addition to a healthy and balanced diet, exercise is just as important to anti-aging. Here are some of the best foods to fortify and help you have age defying looks:

Best for Softening Skin: Pomegranates

Why Pomegranates work: This fruit is packed with various anti-aging ingredients such as vitamin C, which when combined with Flawlessskincareonline.com SPF30 acts as a guard against the wrinkling effects of sun damage. Plus, says Debra Atkins MD, the juice in pomegranate seeds contains both ellagic acid and punicalagin. The first is a polyphenol compound that guards against damage from free radicals; the second is a super-nutrient that will help to increase your body’s capacity to preserve collagen, the sub-dermal connective tissue that makes skin look smooth and plump.

Best for Smoothing Fine Lines: Blueberries

Why it works: These delicious little anti-aging blue wonders contain more antioxidants than almost any other food does. Translation: They can give your skin extra protection against the skin-damaging free radicals that result from sun exposure, emotional stress, and even overexercising (especially running).

Best for Firming: Kale and Spinach

Why they work: These vital veggies contain special phytonutrients, or antioxidant compounds, that help guard against damage caused by the sun. Spinach is loaded with beta-carotene and lutein, two nutrients that have been shown to improve skin elasticity, according to a study in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry.

Best for Reducing Redness: Cold-Water Fish

Why they work: Sardines, salmon, and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, which strengthen skin-cell membranes, helping keep moisture in. Consuming two servings of fish a week can reduce chronic skin inflammations, such as eczema and psoriasis.

Best for Diminishing Brown Spots: Green Tea

Why it works: This healthy brew, says Dr. Debra Atkins contains catechins (one of the most effective compounds for preventing sun damage like hyper-pigmentation) and polyphenols (antioxidants that combat free-radical damage and may reverse the effects of aging).  These are best when you can’t use the prescription products like hydroquiones.  Others like kojic acid are great options.

Best for a Dewy Complexion: Watermelon

Why it works: This refreshing, sweet treat contains the ultimate antioxidant, vitamin C, plus lycopene and potassium, which regulates the balance of water and nutrients in cells.

Best for a Healthy Glow: Olive Oil

Why it works: The “good fats” in olive oil are highly beneficial; they contain heart-healthy omega-3s, which improve circulation, leaving skin rosy and supple.

More Smooth Moves For Anti Aging

Fine lines, dark spots, and furrowed brows also can be repaired — or prevented — with some skincare basics.

Yes! You Should…

  • Wear an SPF 30 broad spectrum sunscreen every day, year-round.
  • Apply a weekly hydrating masque.
  • Eat fruits and veggies with a high water content, such as cucumber and apples.
  • Wear sunglasses — even at sunset — to prevent fine lines.
  • Sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent creases.

No, Please Don’t…

  • OD on at-home chemical peels (once a week is enough).
  • Pick at blemishes.
  • Try every latest, greatest treatment — skin likes routine.
  • Take too-hot showers.
  • Go out in the wind bare-faced.
