At a point, our skin will get wrinkle and old. We can aid the process of ageing by slowing down the process with fruits. Fruits are very handy and some fruits are really good in making us age slowly. The following paragraphs will highlight various fruits that slows ageing and the process the fruits slows down ageing.
1. CARROTS: Everything orange is supposed to be healthy, and carrots especially are a good source of collagen.
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.
2. AVOCADO : Avocados are rich in heart-healthy fat, fiber and several vitamins and minerals that are essential for health
Furthermore, avocados contain unique compounds called polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols. These can fight inflammation, protect your skin from the sun and help repair damaged DNA
3. DARK CHOCOLATE : The antioxidant profile of dark chocolate is second to none. It is even more powerful than acai berries, blueberries and cranberries. It contains antioxidants such as flavonoids that help your skin protect itself from UV damage, fight free radicals, and improve its hydration and thickness. But don’t get too happy too early: it’s only chocolate with at least 75% cocoa that will give you all the antioxidant benefits.
4. TOMATOES : tomatoes are not only juicy and delicious but also great for your health. They are filled with nutrients and contain a great deal of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folic acid. Lycopene, which is responsible for the red color of ripe tomatoes, 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. By the way, lycopene is easier to absorb when the tomatoes are cooked and combined with a little olive oil.
5. 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 keeps your skin hydrated and toned, preventing its aging. It lowers blood pressure, reduces the risk of heart disease, helps prevent metabolic syndrome and may be effective in fighting cancer.
6. FATTY FISH: Oily fish, such as salmon, tuna, anchovies, and turbot, 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. Its long-chain omega-3 fats are beneficial against heart disease, inflammation and ulcerative colitis, among many other diseases. Studies suggest that they may also protect against inflammation and damage that occurs during sun exposure.
