10 Foods That Can Help You Look 10 Years Younger

According to a 2016 report published by Business Wire, analysts from global market research company Technavio forecast the mass beauty care market in the US could reach close to 24 billion by 2020.

Consumers, especially the aging population, are increasingly looking for methods and products to maintain and improve their appearance so as to look youthful. Currently, out of the total aging population in the world, those aged above 65 are the fastest-growing population group, constituting 8.1% of the total population in 2014. This share is expected to double and reach 16% by 2050. The rise in the aging population is, therefore, expected to drive the growth of the market.

Before you rush out to buy the next fad product to hit the beauty care market, we suggest you do an assessment of your diet. Many people overlook the strong correlation between your outward appearance with the fuel you’re putting inside your body.

Here are 10 foods that may help you look up to 10 years younger:

  1. Berries

Berries such as strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and grapes all contain antioxidant properties that can prevent or delay cell damage and can reduce joint swelling and pain. Moreover, consuming blueberries can improve cognitive abilities and may even help prevent urinary diseases, Alzheimer’s, and dementia.

  1. Citrus fruits

Citrus fruits are a primary source of vitamin C and folic acid. They help decrease levels of cholesterol and uric acid in the blood. Regular consumption will help prevent circulatory problems, heart conditions, and diseases like gout which cause terrible pain in the joints.

Drinking lemon juice on an empty stomach cleans the colon and detoxifies the body. In addition, your body will absorb its nutrients first of all, and you will feel healthy and radiant.

  1. Carrots

This vegetable protects the eyes thanks to beta-carotene, a substance that the body converts to vitamin A and helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function smoothly. It also protects the skin from photo-aging — premature wrinkling of the skin caused by exposure to UV rays.

  1. Avocado

Eating one avocado a day reduces cholesterol levels and supports the process of skin regeneration. It provides your body with vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, and it is rich in folic acid.

  1. Garlic

Not only is garlic a powerful weapon to deter vampires but it also kills most infections if used properly. Its fungicidal and bactericidal properties make this anti-aging superfood one of the best natural antibiotics. It also balances cholesterol, improves blood circulation and hypertension, and helps reduce the risk of certain cancers.

  1. Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate containing at least 75% cocoa is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids that help your skin protect itself from UV damage, fight free radicals, and improve its hydration and thickness.

  1. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are loaded with vitamin A, vitamin C, and folic acid. Lycopene, the agent responsible for giving ripe tomatoes their red color, is an antioxidant 14 times greater than the resveratrol found in red wine. It protects the skin against UV radiation and also has a great effect in the prevention of cardiovascular, degenerative, and infectious diseases.

  1. Olive oil

Olive oil is not only an essential part of a healthy diet but also a worthy addition to your skincare routine. It’s one of the major sources of alpha-linolenic acid which prevents aging by keeping your skin hydrated and toned.

  1. Oily fish

Fish are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids which help cell regeneration and keep cholesterol low. They are also very good for skin care as they reverse and prevent the oxidative damage that comes with age.

  1. Turmeric

Turmeric, usually found in powder form and used as a seasoning, is gaining popularity due in party to its anti-cancer, digestive, and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric slows the aging process, gives you energy, and lifts your mood in times of stress.
