Skin Care Tips, Notes & More

As the American population increasingly ages, a growing number of people look for means of reducing the outward signs of aging while remaining skeptical of anti-wrinkle creams, concerned over plastic surgery options, and have questions about Botox injections.

While there's no way to fully stop the aging process, you can slow it down by maintaining a balanced diet and enjoying more healthy foods. If you're interested in looking young and feeling great, keep reading for a list of 8 foods you can eat to slow aging.

Ginger

Ginger is probably nature's best health tool. Not only does it boost the immune system, it can also give a much-needed kick to your circulatory and digestive systems.

With that added boost, your circulatory system becomes more efficient at delivering nutrients and oxygen to your body's cells, particularly skin cells. Meanwhile, a faster digestive system means toxins are evacuated rather than released into the skin.

Soya

Soya and soy bean products have been proven to help maintain healthy levels of estrogen and oestrogen in women. This vital hormone is a crucial element in the aging process since as a women's estrogen levels decrease, the aging process increases in speed.

Water

While not technically a food, water is worth mentioning as nature's true fountain of youth. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day will almost guarantee well-hydrated, fresh looking skin for life.

Not only does water hydrate the skin, but it also helps to flush toxins from our body and improve cell production.

Berries

Berries, particularly dark berries like blackberries and blueberries, are very high in antioxidants, which regulate free radicals. Because free radicals break down cellular structures and expediate the aging process, eating handfuls of berries is a good - and tasty - practice.

Avocado

Whether you're smearing it on your face as a mask or eating it in a sandwich, avocado is nature's skin miracle. It's a great source of monounsaturated fats, but it's also full of Vitamin E, which is great for your skin. Additionally, the avocado is high in potassium.

Bananas

Like avocados, bananas are high in potassium which stops fluid retention and improves digestion. This means your body and skin will flush out toxins faster, leading to brighter and fresher looking skin.

Beets

Beets are full of iron and women who don't consume enough iron tend to be prone to pronounced, dark circles under their eyes. So, step up your iron levels with beets or other high-protein foods.

Winter Squash

Most varieties of squash are full of skin-loving vitamins A and C. Vitamin C helps boost collagen production and skin elasticity while Vitamin A offers the added benefit of reducing infection and boosts elastin growth.
