Leafy greens:
Like eggs, leafy greens such as spinach, kale, turnip greens, and
romaine lettuce, are great sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. Studies
have shown eating foods rich in these antioxidants can significantly
reduce risk of AMD (age-related macular degeneration), as well as
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Spinach has a very high ORAC (Oxygen Radical
Absorbance Capacity) score. It is a measurement of a food's ability to
destroy the free radicals that cause damage in your body. The higher the
ORAC score, the better a food is for you.
Blueberries: These
tiny berries are powerhouses of nutrition. They are loaded with
antioxidants, which stops premature ageing and help prevent cancer. Wild
blueberries also boost your health. A study suggests that anthocyanins
in blueberries appear to combat oxidative stress, which is one of the
main causes of ageing.
Yellow and orange root vegetables:
Put plenty of beta-carotene on your plate. These super-antioxidants are
good for your skin and eyes. Good choices include carrots, sweet
potatoes, pumpkins, and squash.
Broccoli:
Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that is found in broccoli, along
with other foods including cranberries, onions, and apples. It is a
natural anti-inflammatory agent as well, fighting the number two cause
of aging. Broccoli sprouts have 30 times more isothiocyanates (yet
another antioxidant) than regular broccoli.
Raw, organic eggs:
A single egg contains, nine essential amino acids. It's rich in
proteins and has naturally occurring Vitamin D. Consuming your eggs raw
is the best thing to do as cooking destroys some of the highly
perishable nutrients.
Aloe vera: Aloe vera's
anti-ageing properties have been known for ages. Scientific evidence
suggests that Aloe Vera juice can heal skin and reverse skin ageing.
Skin ages because of UV light damage and loss of collagen in the skin.
Collagen helps in keeping the skin firm and elastic. Ageing breaks down
the collagen matrix in your skin which leads to wrinkles. Drinking aloe
vera juice is known to reduce the wrinkle depth and improve skin
elasticity due to increased collagen production.
Garlic: Allium
is an antioxidant that packs a punch. Garlic, onions, and scallions are
loaded with this free-radical fighter that is good for your skin and
your immune system.
