Anti-ageing foods when added to our daily diet can help to reduce early signs of ageing. These are simple everyday foods that we find at every supermarket aisle. But somehow we tend to overlook their significance. These foods will not only take off few years from our skin but give us a youthful feeling. Besides being nutritious, they can actually help you shed some pounds away without much effort.
Almonds: Packed with omega-3 fats and proteins, almonds are the best source of vitamin E. This vitamin E is crucial for skin repair and studies prove that they prevent ageing. Handful of almonds daily in salads, milkshakes can really make a difference to your skin.
Olive Oil: Olives and olive oil can really make a woman’s beauty eternal. Read our previous post Olive Oil-The Best Amongst Oils for an in-depth understanding.
Tomatoes: This wonderful vegetable is an antioxidant which prevents the skin against sun damage. Its main ingredient lycopene is known to reduce certain types of cancer.
Broccoli: Pollution is the number one enemy of the skin. Broccoli is helpful to fight this with its free radicals.
Water: Dehydration can lead to wrinkly skin. Dehydration is not just caused by being exposed to sunlight but also due to consumption of alcohol. Water when consumed in sufficient amounts flushes the toxins from the body and revitalizes the cells. Read How to get addicted to drinking water.
Soya Milk: Skin gets wrinkled when collagen breaks down. This causes the skin to lose it elasticity. Soya milk works wonders in rebuilding the skin.
Fruits: Vitamin C rich foods work miraculously for wrinkles. Kiwi is the best among them which help in building collagen. All kinds of berries- black, blue and red ones contain antioxidants which again help fight against pollution. Prunes and raisins in the diet can equally prevent ageing of skin.
Oats: A rich source of carbohydrate like oats in the morning can do wonders to the skin. It contains an essential mineral called silicic acid that gives the skin a fuller texture. This automatically slows down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
