Bad Skin?

Do you feel your skin is starting to lose youthfulness?

Add these anti-age busting foods to your diet and watch those fine lines disappear!

Antioxidants is what you need, they help your skin fight from the suns rays as well as using their vitamins and minerals as a natural boost for speeding up cell turnover (leaving your healthy young skin underneath).

1. Red bell peppers
Get adding Red peppers to your salads for an anti- ageing boost, half a cup of red pepper will give you a 100% of the vitamin C you need.

2. Blueberries
Time to get fruity, blueberries are extremely tasty and contain what you need, it's time to beat free radical damage that we can receive from our atmosphere, free radicals can harm skin cells and reduce collagen, but by eating half a cup of blueberries you can slow down the anti-ageing process.

3. Salmon
Salmon as we know contains Omega-3 this prevents dryness in the skin a key feature in ageing, it also reduces inflammation so bye bye flare ups!

4. Avocado
It's a double hit! Avocado helps dry skin as it is packed with vitamin E but it also helps fight those terrible free radicals. 


5. Onions
Time to make soup, add onions to soup and other dishes for another wrinkle banisher. Onions contain quercetin an antioxidant.

6. Sweet potato
This is definitely my favourite, I use sweet potatoes a lot, whether it is as wedges or baked instead of regular jacket potatoes or even in soups, the possibilities are endless. Sweet potato contain Beta- Carotene which produces Vitamin A, Vitamin A increases cell turnover and protects the integrity of our skin.

7. Whole grains
Whole grains contain polyphenols and carotenoids that fight the ageing process. If you’re choosing whole grain cereal, use soy milk instead of regular milk—it contains isoflavones that may add to the anti-ageing benefits.
