Anti-Aging Diets - Aging Gracefully with a healthy diet

Everyone knows the anti-aging benefits that giving up smoking and spending less time in the sun can have, but can an anti-aging diet help to keep us looking younger for longer too?

What's the point in an anti-aging diet?

As your body's largest organ, your skin requires a lot of care to function properly. The foods we eat play a key role in making sure that skin can repair itself, fight infection and defend against exposure to UV Light. In order to do all of this properly, our skin needs vitamins A, C and D to help fight signs of aging. An anti-aging diet is one that is rich in foods containing these essential minerals.

Which foods should I be eating as part of an anti-aging diet?

Vitamin A is present in a wide variety of every day foods. These include fruits like apricots and nectarines, root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, and it is also present in egg yolks. Green vegetables like spinach and broccoli are also a great source of vitamin A.

Vitamin C, which is essential to maintain your skin's healing properties, is found in many foods, though is perhaps most prevalent in fruit. Tomatoes, kiwis and all kinds of citrus fruits are also excellent sources of Vitamin C.

Vitamin D, however, is slightly different. This is produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight. If you spend a lot of time indoors, the best source of vitamin D is from fortified foods such as milk and orange juice. Mushrooms are also a great source of this essential mineral.
