Want to have skin that looks young and healthy well into
middle age? Then you need to consider more than just the moisturizer you use
and the SPF rating of your sunscreen - you also need to think about what's on
your plate. It seems that every day, a new study comes out that profiles a food
linked to anti-aging. It can be hard to keep up, but the Huffington Post
recently compiled a list of some of the foods that have been linked to
promoting health and beauty.
Have a drink
It's not just the foods we eat that can help us keep young,
but also what we drink. According to the news source, pomegranates have
recently been shown to slow down the oxidation of DNA - in case you're
wondering, oxidation essentially means "wear and tear." Eating
pomegranates can be messy and frustrating (all those little seeds!), but you
can easily get your fill of the fruit by having a glass of pomegranate juice.
This may sound a bit hippie-dippy, but drinking green tea is
also a good way to slow down the aging process. The drink is full of
antioxidants, and on top of that, the nutrients it carries can help reduce
chronic inflammation, which plays a part in diabetes and other illnesses. Drink
up!
Know your colors
If you're standing in the produce aisle feeling confused
about what foods you should pick up, keep an eye out for orange veggies.
Carrots, pumpkin, squash and sweet potatoes all fall into this category, and
their color is no coincidence. Alpha-carotene is what gives these vegetables
their hue, and it's also good for the body.
Don't forget about orange and other brightly colored fruits,
as well. According to the news source, vitamin C has been proven to slow cell
aging, which could help keep you young.
Is it too late?
These anti-aging food news items can be frustrating for
those of us who have already begun to see signs of aging. Even if you stock up
on green tea, carrots and pomegranates, you won't be able to eliminate wrinkles
and other age-related skin blemishes without a bit of outside help.
Fortunately, the world of aesthetic medicine has advanced to the point where it
is now possible to turn back the hands of time and get rid of these unwanted
attributes. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,
dermal fillers, for example, can get rid of deep facial lines, while chemical
peels and skin resurfacing can eliminate pigmentation problems, sun spots,
minor facial scars and other skin woes.
