Everyone desires to have beautiful skin without any dullness, dark circles and wrinkles. People often say, “You are what you eat.” They aren’t wrong, so to speak. Beautiful and younger looking skin starts with what we eat. Superfoods such as berries can help you do just that, in a delicious way! When we included super foods loaded with antioxidants, healthy fats, water, and essential nutrients in our diets, our skin appreciates it. Among Superfoods, Blueberries are the Holy Grail of youthful skin if you will!
Blueberries
Widely known for their anti-aging properties in the west, Blueberries contain a high level of antioxidants. They help to clean up damaging oxygen free radicals in the blood which are known to damage cell membranes and DNA through a process that scientists call oxidative stress. It is these free radicals which cause many of the signs of aging. They contain anthocyanin that helps boost skin’s elasticity and support healthy connective tissue.
Strawberries
These pink fruits are packed with Vitamin C which not only helps in delaying aging but also preventing acne, blackheads, and blemishes. It contains a higher amount of Vitamin C than oranges and grapefruits. Just like other berries, strawberries are also an excellent source of antioxidants to counteract free radicals. Strawberries are filled with an antioxidant known as
ellagic acid, which protects the elastic fibers in our skin in order to prevent sagging in the skin.
