Anti-aging experts agree that healthy skin starts on the inside of the body. Although there is a place for anti-aging skin care cream lotion in a beauty regimen, well-nourished and -hydrated skin will require application of less product than skin that has been deprived of nutrition and water. A good place to begin is to drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. Next, eat foods rich in antioxidants.
Antioxidants will protect against, and possibly even reverse the effects of damage caused by free radicals. Nearly everyone is exposed to the unstable oxygen molecules known as free radicals because they are produced by pollution, sunshine, and cigarette smoke. There are many sources of antioxidants, but some of the best are found in buckwheat, olive oil, and tomatoes.
Buckwheat is a high-protein antioxidant known to improve the strength of blood vessel walls because it reduces blood pressure. The fact that it is so high in protein, compared to other grains, makes it ideal for people who are trying to maintain a healthy weight, because the protein contributes to a full feeling.
Olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, contains polyphenol, an antioxidant compound. In many cases this delicious, beneficial oil can be used in place of - or as a substitute for part of - the butter or cooking oil called for in a recipe. It is wise to keep the olive oil from burning in order to maintain the maximum nutritional value
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and vitamin C, two important antioxidants. There are many ways to incorporate tomatoes into the diet year round, using them either fresh or canned, depending on availability.
A healthy diet is a good foundation for healthy skin resulting in a radiant complexion.
