1. Avoid sugar
Sugar has been associated with increasing aging. In a process called glycation, sugar molecules bind to proteins, such as collagen, causing it to become less effective and show signs of aging more quickly.
2. Snack on anti-oxidant-rich fruits or vegetables instead of sugar treats. These include blueberries.
3. Take oil supplements, such as omega-3 (fish or flaxseed oil) supplements, to keep skin hydrated. Omega-3 rich foods include salmon, flax and linseed oil. Linoleic acid - an essential omega-6 fatty acid - in particular can help dry skin too. The body doesn't make linoleic acid (which is found in grape seed, sunflower and other oils), but can be obtained through diet or in skin products.
3. For anti-aging purpose, we should take supplements that have vitamin C and E, lycopene (found in tomatoes), and lutein (common in spinach and kale). The help prevent wrinkles. We should also seek foods that contain beta-carotene, along with vitamins A and B.
