3 simple foods that will keep you young

May 31, 2016

Everyone wants to preserve their youth, but until someone actually discovers the proverbial ‘fountain of youth’ there is no stopping the biological clock.

However, there are a few foods that can aid in the aging process and help you look younger and healthier for longer. Here are the three, simplest (and easy to get) foods that’ll keep you looking and feeling radiant.

 

  1. Berries

 

Berries are not only great tasting and perfect for snacking, but they are very rich in antioxidants that rid your body of taxing toxins.

Berries also contain Anthocyanin – a mineral that naturally protects your skin from harmful UV rays. And if anything is going to make you look old, it’s sun damaged skin.

Some berries also contain Silica, which promotes healthy, glowing skin.

 

  1. Oats

 

Your grandmother probably always told you that oats is good for you – and she was right.

Oats are packed full of B vitamins, Protein and Fibre – all of which are essential for a healthy body and mind, which of course leads to graceful aging.

They also keep your hair, nails and skin in shape as well as going a little deeper, and actually strengthening your nervous system. So eat up!

 

  1. Sardines

 

It is basically common knowledge that oily fish, such as sardines, are loaded with Omega 3 And if there is one thing that will definitely keep you looking and feeling youthful, it’s Omega 3.

The benefits of Omega 3 is endless, but the biggest benefit is certainly the impact it has on your brain. It protects your brain from degenerating too quickly, which also affects your body and skin.

They don’t call fish brain food for nothing! However, if you struggle with eating rich, salty fish, try anchovies or sardines on crackers or even on pizza.
