FRUITS YOU SHOULD EAT FOR AGEING REVERSAL
Taking care of your body and skin is of utmost importance. As for countering the ageing process, one must exercise regularly, meditate for a healthy mind and eat nutrition enriched food. Fruits are the perfect anti-agers present. They contain antioxidants which help to make the skin look younger and nourish your overall body. These are some fruits you should definitely include in your diet for fighting against the ageing process:
• Pomegranate
Pomegranates are rich in ellagitannins which are converted into a compound called urolithin A (UA) in the human gut as the fruit is consumed. This compound (UA) slows down the mitochondrial ageing process and also prevents loss of skeletal muscle mass and the weakening of skin tissues as one age.
• Watermelon
Watermelon contains 92% water which acts as a hydrate for your skin and keeps it radiant. The antioxidants lycopene and vitamin C present in watermelon support collagen production and the growth of elastic cells that make the skin’s appearance supple and younger.
• Kiwi
Kiwi fruit has high vitamin C content which helps in protecting your skin and making it look firmer and younger. The rich quantity of antioxidants presents also help in delaying the ageing process.
• Berries
Berries are known as powerful anti-agers with blueberry being the most effective berry because it is abundantly loaded with antioxidants which prevent and cure wrinkles and blemishes. Strawberries are also rich in vitamin C which assists in providing a radiant young skin. They are also packed with polyphenols which increase collagen production. Besides containing vitamin C, blackberries also contain the specific anthocyanin which is known to reduce scars. Cranberries are healthy for the tooth as they prevent dentin erosion.
• Mango
Mango contains an impressive quantity of vitamin C, vitamin A and beta-carotene. All these nutrients help in skin renewal and make the skin look beautiful and youthful. The antioxidants present in mango help in avoiding fine lines and wrinkles keeping the skin firm and supple.
Apart from the consumption of these fruits, adequate sleep and regular workout are necessary for the maintenance of the body. A stress-free mind and healthy lifestyle are also the key components in getting a radiant skin. The more you invest in your mind and body, the younger you’ll look.
