Many people think wrinkles and fine lines are both things we
can't combat without undergoing surgery
or spending a fortune on supplements and treatments. If
you’re one of those people – think again! There are plenty of things you can do
to look and feel younger from the inside out, all in the comfort of your home (and
without paying a lot of money to do it!).What do you think is the most
important thing you can do in order to slow down the aging process?
Can you guess?
If you said "change your diet", you've got it! Your
diet is the most important part of slowing down the aging process and helping
you feel and look years younger.
In other words, proper nutrition that includes powerful
minerals, vitamins and nutrients that
fine-tune your system, while providing your skin with
everything it needs to thrive, is the ultimate way
to reverse the signs of aging without surgery. It's true;
when it comes to looking younger, there is
nothing as effective and long-term than when you incorporate
powerful anti-aging foods, supplements
and nutrients into your diet. Foods that are high in antioxidants are the
most important of them all.
Fueling your system with a hearty and consistent supply of
antioxidants will help protect the cells
from oxidation, which can lead to tissue degeneration that
has been proven to speed up the aging process.Here are a few foods that are
high in antioxidants that you'll want to start incorporating into your daily
diet:
* Berries like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
* Green tea
* Dark Chocolate
* Artichokes
* Goji Berries
* Kale
* Tomatoes (especially cooked tomatoes)
* Sweet potatoes
You'll also want to pay attention to essential fatty acids,
making sure you are getting enough in your daily diet. Omega-3 fatty acids play
an important role in helping you look and feel younger and thankfully, they are
found in most of the foods we eat including:
* Salmon & Tuna
* Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans
* Flax Seeds & Fish Oil
Omega fatty acids are truly remarkable ingredients forimproving
your skin. They serve as the foundation to smoothing the skin's surface layers,
which in turn, leaves you looking years younger.It will feel as though you've
found the fountain of
youth! 😉
And if you really want to get the most out of omega fatty
acids, consider purchasing a fish oil supplement. As we age, our skin cells
become thinner. In turn, this thinning cause’s
dryness which makes our skin look older. By taking fish oil supplements, you
can bolster the skin cell membrane, releasing moisture which will lead to softer,
more supple skin. I'll be in back in touch tomorrow where we'll talk about the
importance of collagen and what you can do to make sure your body is producing
enough of it.
