Hi friends, as promised, here I am with " Foods That Fight Ageing".

1. Food That Fights Ageing
In the perennial quest for longevity, there are no miracle cures. But what's on
your plate matters more than you think. Fruits and vegetables high in flavonoids
and carotenoids, two powerful plant-based antioxidants, remove the free radicals
from your skin and body that cause you to age prematurely. Here are 16 foods
that will help you achieve your dream.

2. 1. Romaine lettuce
Six leaves can provide more than
100% of your daily quota of
vitamin A, which increases cell
turnover and revitalizes your skin
while the mineral potassium in
romaine improves circulation
giving your skin a refreshing
boost of nutrients and oxygen.
Not only that, the vitamin K in
romaine helps fight the
occurrence of varicose veins.

3. 2. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are high in
lycopene . Which is why
when consumed on a daily
basis tomatoes help fight
sunburn (reports say 25%
more protection against
sunburn). It helps skin
produce more collagen
which prevents skin from
sagging. German scientists
believe that higher levels of
this antioxidant help fight
fine lines and wrinkles.

4. 3. Strawberries
A cup of strawberries have up to
130% of the daily quota of
vitamin C, a potent antioxidant
that boosts production of
collagen, fibers that help keep
skin smooth and firm. More C
means fewer fine lines too.
Research also says that ellagic
acid, an antioxidant abundant in
strawberries, protects the elastic
fibers that keep skin from
sagging. Strawberries are
believed to lower the risk of
cancer as well.

5. 4. Soy
Soy is a nutrient-dense food. It is a
rich source of protein, unsaturated
fats, fiber, B-vitamins, folic
acid, potassium, calcium, zinc, and
iron - and it's cholesterol-free.
Being a high-protein diet, it boosts
the production of collagen. It fights
fine line, wrinkles and boosts
firmness in the skin. It also reduces
the risk of ovarian and breast
cancers.

6. 5. Eggs
Eating just one egg a day significantly
increases blood levels of lutein and
zeaxanthin (but not cholesterol), two
antioxidants found in eggs, more
than quadrupled protection against
the UV damage that leads to
lines, brown spots, and cancer. Skin
becomes visibly softer, firmer and
better hydrated.

7. 6. Apples
Apple peel contains an antioxidant
called Quercetin. It gives a very
good protection from UVB rays
which are known to trigger skin
cancer. Next time you have an
apple, make sure you have it
with the peel. Apples are
believed to bring down the risk
of heart disease by 15% too.

8. 7. Almonds
Eating a handful of almonds
every day boosts levels of
vitamin E, one of the most
important antioxidants for
skin. It boosts moisture too.

9. 8. Cocoa
Cocoa made with dark chocolate
high in flavanoids not only aids
in significantly
softer, smoother, and better
hydrated skin but is also
believed to enhance brain
function that may reduce the
risk of dementia.

10. 9. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil daily contains
essential fatty acids that help
skin resist UV damage. EFAs are
also part of the cell membranes
that help hold in moisture, so
consume about 1 tablespoon of
olive oil daily to keep skin
supple. Research suggests that
hydroxytyrosol, a component in
olive oil, lowers cholesterol and
helps prevent obesity and
diabetes.

11. 10. Walnuts
Walnuts are storehouses of alpha-
linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat
that's a key component of the
lubricating layer that keeps skin
moist and supple. Walnuts
contain melatonin , a hormone
that regulates sleep. Have
walnuts at supper for a good
beauty sleep.

12. 11. Whole Grain
Whole grain bread, pasta, and
cereal are surprisingly high in
antioxidants (whole wheat
cereal, for example, contains a
comparable amount to most
fruits and vegetables), and
eating additional antioxidants
helps fight ageing. A study
found that dieters who ate five
servings of whole grains daily
for 12 weeks lost twice as
much stomach fat as those
who ate refined carbs. The
researchers credit the higher
fiber in whole grains for the
significant reduction in belly
fat.

13. 12. Blueberries
Blueberries are not only a healthy
snack, but an extract from the
fruit can also do wonders for
your skin. That deep
blue/purple color is a result of
compounds called
anthocyanins, powerful
antioxidants that shield the skin
against harmful free radicals
that can damage the collagen
that keeps your skin firm.
Blueberries are also packed with
vitamin C, another antioxidant
crucial for collagen production.
The phytonutrients in blueberries
can help curb skin cancer

14. 13. Bearberries
Bearberries have hypo pigmenting
component. This component has
a whitening effect on the
skin, making it perfect for those
want to treat freckles, age
spots, or vitiligo. Bearberry also
increases the cell turnover rate
and it is an excellent antioxidant.
It works to fight free
radicals, preventing additional
skin conditions, and works as a
natural sunscreen. Bearberry can
reverse the damage from the
sun, and may very well play a role
in the prevention of skin cancer.

15. 14. Willow Bark
Willow Bark has natural contents
of salicylic acid which remove
old and dead skin cells from
your face and body and helps
make way for new and fresh
skin cells. Willow bark extract
can make your skin youthful
and radiant again. It also offers
anti-inflammatory properties
that can relieve swelling and
sensitivity. This makes willow
bark ideal for sensitive
blemishes, cystic acne and even
aging skin.

16. 15. Rice
Rice increases the production of
collagen that functions in
maintaining skin elasticity. The
chemical structure of rice
contributes to the regeneration
and growth of skin cells that
have been damaged or dead.
Rice contains
oryzanol substances that can
help renew the skin pigment
and is useful to counteract
ultraviolet rays. Rice contains
vitamin E which nourishes the
skin so it looks younger. Ferulic
acid in rice usefu l as an
antioxidant and can protect skin
from free radicals.

17. 16. Honey
Honey's ability to absorb and retain
moisture helps keep skin hydrated
and fresh and prevents drying.
Honey's natural antioxidant and
anti-microbial properties help
protect the skin from the damage
of the sun's rays, supports the
skin's ability to rejuvenate and
refresh depleted skin, leaving it
feeling silky soft and supple. One of
the most common natural skin care
benefits of honey is treatment of
minor acne.
