Youth is the theme of the month at DASHA®. If you haven’t already checked out our amazing Fountain of Youth promotion, now extended by popular demand through May 15th, please be sure to click HERE. And if you have any questions about facial acupuncture, click HERE.
But what about the things you can do on your own, beyond wearing sunscreen and moisturizing, to help support a more youthful appearance? Here’s your guide to the top 8 (and perhaps surprising) foods you can eat to support a more youthful appearance:
SARDINES & WALNUTS: Sardines are one of the best sources of fat, as they contain 1.5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids and are anti-inflammatory, helping to keep your skin clear. If you are a vegan who doesn’t eat fish, walnuts will do the same job.
YELLOW BELL PEPPERS: Yellow bell peppers help to fight crow’s feet.
OLIVE OIL: Monounsaturated fats and antioxidant polyphenols may help quench damage from free radicals in your skin up to 31% more if you consume up to 2 teaspoons per day of olive oil.
GRASS-FED BEEF: The protein in grass-fed beef helps make your collagen and elastin strong, keeping your skin taut and firm.
DARK CHOCOLATE: A 1-ounce portion of dark chocolate, or 150 calories, can help your skin to experience less roughness or scaliness without weight gain.
TOMATOES: These increase your skin’s protection from sunburn.
GREEN TEA: Antioxidants in green tea boost blood flow and oxygen to the skin.
KALE: Lutein and zeaxanthin in kale help to absorb and neutralize free radicals created by UV light.
