Even when your crows feet are a little more pronounced and you have a couple of new fine lines popping up, I personally think natural beauty is the most beautiful of all and our lines tell a story. With that said, even at 90 years old I want to look like the healthiest, most radiant version of myself. So living a healthy lifestyle and having a good ageless beauty skincare regimen is the way to go-especially if tons of botox and going under any type of knife is not your thing.
As we age, our bodies gradually begin to slow down- both in energy and in skin cell reproduction. This can be contributed to a breakdown in our mitochondria. The mitochondria is responsible for the energy required to fuel skin cell regeneration- creating those brand new, youthful looking baby cells. The mitochondria is broken down due to oxidative stress, and the best way to combat and increase mitochondria and its energy-giving qualities is through antioxidants. There are certain foods you can eat that can help with this tremendously.
Best Anti-Aging Foods for Healthy Glowing Skin
Water
When we are dehydrated, our bodies operate less optimally, including our skin. Dehydration leads to saggy skin and wrinkles become more pronounced. More water will help create hydrated, youthful looking skin.
Fish, Eggs, + Mushrooms
All contain B vitamins for a healthy energy source and antioxidants.
Dark Leafy Greens
Try to eat leafy greens at least once a day. In addition to antioxidants, dark leafy greens also contain iron which helps oxygen get from our lungs to cells that need it most (such as our skin cells).
Beans, Nuts, + Seeds
These little skin super foods contain tons of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Eat the Rainbow
The variety of phytonutrients found in the different pigments will provide a variety of antioxidants to fight a bunch of different free radicals.
Spinach, raspberries, yellow peppers, and blueberries are some good examples.
Purple Grapes
Fuel anti-aging by fighting inflammation with foods like red grapes that contain antioxidants that reduce damage to cells that lead to aging.
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is great for anti-aging due to lots of anti-oxidants, yay!
Sweet Potato, Watermelon, Beets
Any foods high in potassium will combat dry skin that leads to aging.
Fish Oil, Algae
Food containing essential fatty acids like omegas 3 and 6 are ageless skin superstars.
