Aging is a natural process, and proper nutrition becomes increasingly important with age.
If we eat foods that help us have a balanced diet, we can slow down the effects of aging a little and look younger than we would if we didn't pay attention to our diet.
It's good to consume foods rich in nutrients, such as antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats, which can improve skin health, increase energy levels, and reduce inflammation.
The "SheFinds" portal has highlighted seven foods that should be on our menus more often, and for good reason.
Blueberries
Blueberries are one of the healthiest berries. Small but mighty, blueberries contain anthocyanins that fight oxidative stress and contribute to brain health.
It is ideal to eat as many of them as possible, and you should consume half to one cup of blueberries daily.
Avokado
Avocado is a well-known healthy food, rich in healthy fats and antioxidants that have a positive effect on preserving the youthful appearance of the skin.
It is recommended to consume at least one avocado every other day for best health results, reports N1.
Tomato
Springtime is ideal for consuming as many salads as possible with tomatoes, a delicious food rich in vitamin C. Regular consumption of tomatoes helps maintain elasticity and firmness and protects the skin's protective layer.
If you want to eat as many tomatoes as possible, experts recommend eating one medium-sized tomato or five cherry tomatoes a day.
Sweet potato
Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, are a powerful anti-aging food packed with nutrients that give skin a glow, provide high energy levels, and contribute to overall health.
One of the nutrients found in sweet potatoes is beta-carotene, which improves skin elasticity and protects against UV damage.
It is recommended to consume one sweet potato every other day for the best health benefits.
Kiwi
Kiwi is a healthy and often underrated fruit that helps retain moisture in the skin and evens out skin tone for a radiant appearance.
You should eat up to two kiwis a day if you want it to have a positive impact on your health, and it is also rich in vitamin C, which stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration.
Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate is known as often the healthiest type of chocolate we can eat. It contains flavonoids that have a positive effect on circulation and skin hydration, as well as stimulating blood flow and reducing inflammation in the body.
However, it is important not to overdo it. You should only consume one to two cubes a day, reports N1 Sarajevo.
Chia seeds
Chia seeds are often added to various smoothies and dishes for a reason. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, which are important for cell renewal.
Chia seeds help fight free radicals that cause wrinkles and skin aging, and consuming one to two tablespoons of seeds per day is sufficient.
