Hey there, viewers!
You may have heard nutritionists saying ‘eat the rainbow’.
This means eating lots of colorful fruits and veggies.
When it comes to a nutritious diet, leafy greens often get all the spotlight.
But did you know there are a lot of delicious fruits loaded with anti-aging benefits?
In today’s video, we’re going to talk about yummy fruits that can help you stay
young and healthy.
Why did avocados top our list?
Are peaches really that good for you?
What about kiwi and berries?
Is it healthy to eat watermelon and papaya every day?
We’ll talk about all of these AND more…
Avocado Avocado has been a pretty popular fruit among
health enthusiasts.
Not only are they rich in healthy fats, they also have anti-aging properties.
This is due to the compound glutathione in avocados.
Avocados are also rich with vitamins B and E. These vitamins help nourish your skin so
it doesn’t look old and wrinkly.
It also has potassium which helps moisturize the skin.
Avocados have fatty acids, which keep your skin supple.
The B vitamins help improve your metabolic process.
Eating avocados on a regular basis will slow down the aging process.
It’s popularly used as a sandwich topping.
You can eat avocados on their own, or make them into a delicious smoothie.
Avocado spreads like guacamole are delicious.
You can try that out as well.
Peaches Have you ever heard the saying, “pretty
as a peach”?
Well, there’s a reason for this.
Peaches have quite a few anti-aging properties.
For one, they’re packed with antioxidants like Zeaxanthin and Lutein.
These antioxidants can protect you from the harmful effects of the UV rays.
This comes in handy if you’re planning a day in the sun.
The antioxidants are also good for treating inflammation.
Their anti-inflammatory properties can help repair your skin.
This skin damage is usually caused by too much exposure to the sun.
Peaches also have flavonoids that are helpful against skin damage from UV rays.
You’ll see that a lot of anti-aging products have peaches as one of the ingredients.
You can eat peach as it is, or make delicious, mouthwatering foods like peach cobbler, peach
tostadas, peach sangria, and peach salad.
You can also make a delicious peach smoothie by blending this delightful fruit with mangoes
or strawberries.
Peaches are excellent when they’re paired with blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
Kiwi Kiwis may look small, but they’re packed
with nutrients.
They’re rich in antioxidants that can help slow down your aging process.
These antioxidants will make sure there are no skin wrinkles.
The antioxidants in kiwis can also fight the free radicals in your body.
If there are too many free radicals, they can cause damage to your skin.
Eating kiwis regularly will make sure your skin’s health is maintained.
Kiwis also have a healthy amount of vitamins C and E. These vitamins can help boost your
immune system and give you smooth skin.
Kiwis can also help prevent some of the vision loss caused by aging.
Of course, you can eat kiwi on its own, but you’ve got to try my favorite kiwi pineapple
smoothie.
It’s a great way to brighten up cold winter afternoons.
All you have to do is blend kiwi, pineapples, mint leaves, and ice cubes together.
If you’re not into pineapple, a kiwi banana smoothie is also great.
Berries Berries should definitely be included in your
diet if you want to remain healthy and young looking.
They’re very effective anti-aging agents, as they are packed with vitamin C.
This vitamin can help maintain the collagen in your skin.
The antioxidants in berries have a similar function.
They make sure there is a healthy production of collagen in your body to keep your skin
looking young.
Since berries repair your skin cells, your skin won’t feel loose.
Berries also have antioxidants called anthocyanin.
This compound is responsible for the berries’ vibrant colors.
More importantly, they make sure your skin is protected, and that there’s no collagen
loss.
You can make a delicious berry fruit salad by adding different berries to a big bowl.
Throw in a few slices of kiwi, pineapple, avocados, and watermelon.
You can use honey as a dressing.
Your refreshing salad is ready to eat!
Not a fan of salads?
Try a mixed berry smoothie.
It’s pretty simple to put together.
All you need is apple juice or coconut milk, along with some sliced banana, frozen mixed
berries, and vanilla Greek yogurt.
You can add one teaspoon of honey if you’d like.
If you don't want your smoothie coming out too thick, add a little more liquid.
Apple Everyone’s heard the famous saying – an
apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Well, here’s some more good news.
An apple can also keep your skin wrinkles away too!
It does this by maintaining the water levels in your skin.
Rather than just eating the apple, you’ll need to apply it to your face.
The enzymes in the apple can help keep your skin firm and supple.
If you want better results, you could try using apple cider vinegar as well.
If you’re somebody who’s not into the bitter taste, well have no fear!
Apple cider vinegar works as a really effective skin toner.
Watermelon Watermelon helps keep your skin healthy by
taking care of your hydration.
They also have vitamins A and C, which help fight the free radicals that damage your skin.
Watermelon’s red color comes from a compound called lycopene.
This particle can help protect your eyes from the problems that come with aging.
Watermelon basically stops your body from deteriorating as quickly.
It’s also helpful for boosting your immune system and improving your brain function.
Pomegranate Pomegranates are packed with antioxidants
that are effective against aging.
They have a compound called punicalagin.
This compound is key to maintaining the collagen levels in your skin and keeping it wrinkle-free.
You can easily add pomegranate to your diet.
Eat it on its own, or add it to your smoothies and fruit salad.
Pomegranate mixes very well with several different recipes.
Papaya Papaya has many health benefits associated
with it.
It has the enzyme papain, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Papain will make sure you’re not suffering skin damage due to inflammation.
The fruit is also packed with important nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium, and potassium.
They’re also rich in vitamins A, E and K. All these nutrients are very effective in
fighting free radicals in your body, which in turn helps slow down your aging process.
The nutrients also make sure your skin remains healthy and elastic.
The wrinkles on your skin will start going away.
Do you find that the color on your skin is a little off?
Well, eating papaya on a regular basis can also help improve your complexion.
Figs Figs are very effective against aging.
They have an enzyme called polyphenol, which makes sure your body slows down its aging
process.
In women, figs work as a substitute for estrogen.
Estrogen is key in keeping your skin supple.
The problem is that you produce less of the hormone as you get older.
Eating figs regularly can help compensate for the lower amounts of estrogen in your
body.
This way, you can still look younger.
Apricot Apricots are known for their anti-aging properties.
Most anti-aging products you find at the store include apricots as an ingredient.
You also see it in different face packs and creams.
This is because apricots are a great way to get your vitamin E.
This particular vitamin is key to making sure your skin stays firm and does not lose its
elasticity.
Instead of using anti-aging products, you can just apply apricots to your face.
All you have to do is take the pulp and put it all over your face as you would do with
a normal face mask.
Whether you eat them or apply them on your skin, apricots make for a great anti-aging
fruit.
You should add it to your regular diet ASAP.
Citrus fruits Citrus fruits include lemons and oranges.
These fruits are known for their anti-aging properties.
They can get rid of the wrinkles on your skin and prevent them from showing up again.
Citrus fruits are packed with Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
They act as a natural way to cure aging signs in your body.
Eating citrus fruits on a regular basis can also help in the production of collagen.
Pineapple Pineapples are another popular fruit that
come with anti-aging properties.
Eating pineapple by itself is pretty beneficial.
The Alpha-Hydroxy Acids in the fruit are a very effective way to slow down your body’s
aging process.
You don’t even have to eat the fruit to get its benefits.
You can juice it and apply it on your skin.
Before you apply it, you’ll need to add some honey to the juice.
This will help you get the maximum benefits from the fruit.
Acai Acai berries are also popular for their anti-aging
properties.
This grape-like fruit is packed with anthocyanins.
These compounds can help boost your metabolic process and repair your skin.
It’s also effective against things like cancer and other health problems.
Acai is an ingredient in many skincare products.
They usually use acai oil, which is a natural alternative to the chemicals that are usually
used in these kinds of products.
Acai oil is also rich in fatty acids.
It can help keep your skin looking tight and protect you from environmental effects.
Goji berry Have you ever heard of Goji berry before?
Goji berry is mainly found in China and Tibet.
It has excellent anti-aging properties.
It’s no wonder people in that region have such flawless skin!
Goji berries are packed with antioxidants that can give you protection against skin
damage.
