ANTI-AGING FOODS
Updated: Jul 28, 2021
NUTS
No matter which nut you choose — Brazil, cashew, macadamia —they’re all anti-aging heroes thanks to their cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory. Aim for one to two ounces each day, as they a’re also fantastic sources of protein, fibre, and micronutrients.
POMEGRANATES
Pomegranates are packed with powerful antioxidants like vitamin C and ellagic acid, as well as a compound called punicalagin that’s thought to preserve the collagen in your skin.
BLUEBERRIES
Sometimes referred to as a superfood, blueberries have tons of vitamins and antioxidants for such a small fruit. They’re good for both your cognitive abilities and your skin.
TURMERIC
It’s almost impossible to believe the number of anti-aging benefits turmeric provides. It’s great for your skin, joints, and brain, and it fights inflammation. It may also reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders and some cancers.
COCONUT OIL
Research has suggested that coconut oil helps your brain create ketones, which help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Coconut oil is also great for skin, as it’s high in the healthy fats and oils your skin needs to stay hydrated.
AVOCADO
Fiber, potassium, and monounsaturated fat make avocados one of the most potent—and most delicious—anti-aging foods for women. You can even use them to make homemade face masks!
