Beauty Food to prevent wrinkles

Eat Lots of Fresh Fruit Fruit, because of its antioxidants and vitamins and minerals, has a huge effect on the health of your skin. The antioxidants too help prevent wrinkles, so make sure you get enough. Some of the best fruits for good skin are blueberries (high in antioxidants), melon, apples, bananas, mango and papaya. Eat Lots of Fresh Vegetables Dark leafy vegetables are best as they're great for things like iron and vitamin B, but all veggies are great for good skin care. Eat Fresh Fish Tuna and salmon are some of the best fish you can eat to ensure you have healthy skin. They give you high doses of Omega 3, an essential fatty acid that has a big impact on skin elasticity and health. Fish is also healthy for your heart, so make sure you eat it at least 2-3 times a day. The Japanese eat a lot of fish, in fact it's in almost every meal, and some studies think it may be one of the reasons why the Japanese are the longest-living people in the world on average. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Extra virgin olive oil is awesome for skin health as well as for heart health. In some countries, a couple of teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil is mixed with garlic and used on food as a condiment - thus ensuring a healthy heart, and healthy skin. Olive oil is better for you as, unlike the cheaper olive oils, it's not heated to a high temperature so doesn't lose nutrients. Eat Brazil Nuts Brazil nuts are amazing for skin as they contain selenium, which can actually prevent sunburn and thus prevent wrinkles. Just don't eat too many brazil nuts as they are very high in calories and fat. Just 2-3 a day will give your skin the benefits it needs. Drink Green Tea It's packed with antioxidants, absolutely essential for healthy skin and preventing wrinkles, and it also is now known to be useful in preventing cancer (and in some cases, maybe even treating cancer). It also reduces the damage from ultra violet rays, thus preventing your skin from getting wrinkles.
