Antioxidants

Eat foods high in antioxidants!!

 

Free radicals play a major role in the aging process of our skin. Various factors that can contribute to high free-radical production are mental stress, physical exertion, sun, inflammation, etc. Anti-oxidants can help neutralize the free radicals before they cause any damage. If the free radical damage exceeds the protection offered by your internal and external anti-oxidants, you will have oxidative damage. Oxidative stress shows up on the skin as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

 

Here are some of the foods very high in anti-oxidant:

 

Blueberries

Blackberries

Walnuts

Red Grapes

Kidney Beans

Acai Berries

Strawberries

Green tea

Vitamin C and Vitamin E are also powerful antioxidants

 

Supplementation is also a good way to get enough anti-oxidants on a regular and predictable basis
