Top foods to beat wrinkles
While plenty of sleep, a good skincare routine, not smoking and staying out of othe sun will help prevent wrinkles, what you eat it just as vital. These ten superfoods will help combat ageing.
Blueberries
Blueberries are one of the best foods for beating wrinkles and firming skin. They are packed with polyphenols - powerful antioxidants that help fight the effects of cell damaging free radicals, which are created when the body burns up oxygen.
Free-radical production is increased by a range of factors - for example exposure to cigarette smoke and pollution. They're associated withi an increased risk of heart disease and certain cancers, and they can also accelerate the ageing process. To glow with health, add a handful of blueberries to your cereal of mix them with low fat yoghurt.
Strawberries
Strawberries are an especially good course ofo the antioxidant vitamin C, which helps to strenthen the capillaries and cell walls and is also essential for the formation of collagen, the building block that keeps skin from sagging. Just ten strawberries contain more vitamin C than an orange - and there is no fiddly peeling involved.
