Foods That Fight Wrinkles
Foods That Fight Wrinkles
Fighting wrinkles is anything but fighting the inevitable. And at this point, your average five-year-old could probably tell you that the first step is staying out of the sun. So what else can you do? How about rearranging what's on your plate tonight.
Load up on these:
Vegetables
Beans
Olive oil
Nuts
Whole-grain bread
Cut down on these:
Red meat
Butter
Sugary, processed foods
Sure, every health expert says you should eat this way, but skin researchers have found that people who actually do watch what they eat not only have bodies that are physically younger, healthier, and slimmer but also are less likely to get wrinkles. Cool.
Why? Experts suspect it's because the foods in the "load up" category are crammed with antioxidants, those cellular warriors that fight both aging and disease. Specifically, credit for their wrinkle-fighting success is given to five potent antioxidants --zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, C, and E -- which excel at reducing the amount of free radicals that skin cells produce. Free radicals are what do the aging damage in the first place.
Wondering what to have for dinner tonight? How about this Broccoli Rabe, White Bean, and Fontina Pasta? It could do wonders for your skin!

I am on inhalers twice a day (advair)
once a day (Spuriva), thus my mouth is terribly dry, sometimes it is very difficult to sleep, I drink a lot of water
but it seems the more I drink the drier
my mouth, I found out that if I chew gum and actually sleep with it in my mouth it, it is easier for me because
then I have created saliva that allows
me to be able to sleep. What else can I do to alleviate this problem?
Thanks in advance. Posted by: aida Schulte | May 16, 2008 at 09:56 AM
Most of your articles contain good info, backed up by reasons (which i like!) - but i recently learned that butter is high in vitamin A, so i was wondering why that was on the 'cut-down' list & not fast-foods like french fries & pop (which suck for the skin)...

Just a little tip for the young girls, start using moisterising cream morning and night after washing. Posted by: cheryl | January 05, 2008 at 04:23 PM
After waiting tables for many years, I noticed the people that eat meat rare were way younger looking than those that prefer well done, I could predict how they ate their meat by their skin quality.
Also, steam your face with hot cloths and use a beeswax product to keep it moist if you live in a dry zone. Posted by: Joan | December 19, 2007 at 10:23 PM
