Would you believe us if we told you that you could fight some of those little aging skin signs from the comfort of your own home? Well, the facts are in and eating the right foods can definitely improve the appearance and health of your skin. So to keep it looking young and fresh, here’s our top 5 anti-aging foods that you should stock up on and incorporate into your everyday diet. Kale and Spinach The powerful food of the leafy green world, kale and spinach both pack a lot of punch when it comes to antioxidant compounds that help guard your skin against sun damage. Try them in: green smoothies, or leafy salads. Blueberries Just because they’re small and cute doesn’t mean blueberries aren’t super powerful when it comes to healthy skin. Containing plenty of antioxidants (almost more than any other fruit!) these little berries protect your skin from damage caused by sun, stress and over exercise. Try them in: fresh fruit dessert bowls, or on top of porridge. Green Tea This special brew contains catechins which is super important for preventing hyperpigmentation and free-radical damage, and may even help reverse those signs of aging. Try it in: cups of tea to start the morning, and as replacement for that afternoon coffee. Nuts A super source of Vitamin E, nuts of all kinds (especially almonds) can help with skin repair, skin moisture and protection against UV rays. Try them in: Sprinkle a mix of nuts on top of your salads, or eat a handful as a snack. Avocado As if we needed another reason to love avocados! These special fruits are high in inflammation-fighting fatty acids that promote smooth, supple skin, plus contain plenty of vitamins and potassium – essential nutrients for anti-aging. Try them in: Throw some avocado into a salad, on grainy toast, or use them to thicken up a smoothie.
