We all want to look younger than we are and live as long as possible. Although it’s our genetic inheritance that gives us a head start, our diet also plays a vital part in helping us increase our lifespan and maintain beautiful youthful skin for longer.
Today we at Clamotion reveal the 11 anti-aging foods that keep your skin at its finest.
1. Avocado
You’ve probably heard that avocado makes you gain weight because of its high fat content. But perhaps you did not know that those fats are very healthy. 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.
Tip: Have you tried avocado juice? It’s never too late to try new things. It’s very creamy and easy to make. Just put avocado pulp, milk, crushed ice, and a spoonful of brown sugar into the blender, and blend until smooth.
2. Berries
Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, grapes… These small fruits contain antioxidant properties that prevent or delay some types of cell damage and can reduce joint swelling and pain.
We especially recommend that you consume blueberries as they improve cognitive abilities and help prevent urinary diseases, Alzheimer’s, and dementia.
3. Carrots
This vegetable is known to protect the eyes thanks to beta-carotene, a substance that the body converts to vitamin A. It helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function smoothly. It also protects the skin from photoaging – premature wrinkling of the skin caused by exposure to UV rays.
Remember not to overcook carrots as this will significantly reduce the amount of essential nutrients and vitamins.
4. 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. If you consume them regularly, they will help you 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.
5. Garlic
