Foods that Fight Wrinkles

Foods That Fight Wrinkles

 

Fighting wrinkles is anything but fighting the inevitable. And at this point, your average five-year-old could probably tell you that step 1 is staying out of the sun. So what else can you do? How about rearranging what's on your plate tonight.

Load up on:                                        Cut down on:

Vegetables                                           Red meat

Beans                                                   Butter

Olive oil                                                Sugary, processed foods

Nuts

Whole-grain bread

Sure, every health expert says you should eat this way, but skin researchers have found that people who actually do have bodies that not only are physically younger, healthier, and slimmer, but they're also less likely to get wrinkles. Cool.

Why? Experts suspect it's because the foods in the "load up" column are crammed with antioxidants, those cellular warriors that fight both aging and disease. Specifically, credit for their wrinkle-fighting success is given to five potent antioxidants -- vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, and selenium -- which excel at reducing the amount of free radicals skin cells produce. Free radicals are what do the aging damage in the first place.

Wondering what to have for dinner tonight? How about a whole-wheat veggie pizza?
