Top Anti-Aging Foods and Their Properties
Anti-aging foods fall into various categories—including nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables. The most important part of adding anti-aging ingredients to your diet is this: they need to be whole foods. Whole foods are minimally processed foods that contain essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. When you add these whole foods to your diet, you may begin to see anti-aging effects, such as:
- Reduced appearance of wrinkles
- Smoother skin
- Lightened dark spots
When considering more anti-aging foods in your diet, it is essential to eat foods whose benefits go beyond physical anti-aging. You want foods that’ll boost your internal and external health, from improving blood pressure to skin appearance. Here are a couple of our favorite anti-aging foods and their benefits.
