Anti-Aging Foods to Support Your 40s-and-Beyond Body


"Beautiful, glowing skin starts with how we eat, but these anti-aging foods can also help with more than that. 

When we pack our diet with vibrant foods loaded with antioxidants, healthy fats, water, and essential nutrients, our body will show its appreciation through its largest organ: our skin. After all, the skin is often the first part of our body to show internal trouble, and there’s only so much that lotions, creams, masks, and serums can do before we need to take a closer look at what’s fuelling us. 

Researchers have even concluded that eating fruits and veggies is the safest and healthiest way to combat dull complexions and fine lines. Ready to glow? 

Here are ten of the best anti-aging foods to nourish your body for a glow that comes from within.

Watercress

Red Bell Pepper

Papaya

Blueberries

Broccoli

Spinach

Nuts  

Avocado

Sweet Potatoes

Pomegranate Seeds

Flood your body with powerful nutrients 
By nourishing ourselves with these anti-aging foods, we can gain fuel to look and feel our best. 

If you’re looking for more delicious plants to try, choose fruits and vegetables deep in colour. The rich shades are usually a sign of stronger radical fighting abilities to keep your skin healthy and vibrant. The more colours you can fit on your plate, the better. 

It’s time to slow down signs of aging and truly glow from within!"

Watercress is an often overlooked leafy green that packs a powerful nutrient punch. Its small, round leaves and edible stems have a peppery, slightly spicy flavour. It is part of the Brassicaceae family of vegetables, which also includes kale, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Once considered a weed, it was first cultivated in the UK in the early 1800s but is now grown in watery beds throughout the world.

Great post. I eat most of these foods. I am 68 and not long ago I was getting an MRI. The nurse saw my age on my paper work and commented how young I looked. Must be all the good food. It really works.
