Foods that have anti aging qualities and known to help improve your life in many ways. They help to extend your lifespan, feel more energetic, promote a sense of well-being and enhance the quality of your skin, hair and nails. The advantages of eating foods that promote anti aging effects on the human body can never be denied.

Today, because of the environment that we live in, people seem to be experiencing noticeable affects of aging much sooner. This is quite evident even in younger people. The environment in which we live is polluted with toxic air, chemicals in the water and pesticides in the foods we eat. Combined, all of these factors contribute to the process of aging.

By eating foods that naturally contain antioxidants, you can start reversing the effects of premature wrinkling. Your hair and nails will start improving over time as well. This is why foods rich in vitamins and minerals have taken center-stage in many popular health and beauty magazines. It is the best diet proven to help you look and stay younger.

How you manage stress will determine how fast you age. It has been proven that unmanaged stress can cause serous illnesses and even shorten the length of life. The effects of stress upon the body are numerous to include make you look and feel older than you are. Stress can cause undo wrinkles around your eyes, face and neck.

Every summer and throughout the year millions of people overexpose themselves to tanning on beds and outdoors. You may not realize it but too much tanning will damage the protective layers of your skin and eventually make you look older. I have seen people add 20 or more years of aging due to overexposure to tanning. It does cause your skin to become wrinkly over time.

Antioxidants help to reverse wrinkles by adding a protective layer to the skin. This protective layer keeps damaging sun rays, airborne toxins and other pollutants from destroying protective skin cells. They invigorate skin, hair and nails with vital nutrients that promote healthy regeneration of cells.

If you are looking to combat wrinkles, eat foods that contain Zinc and Calcium Magnesium or take a daily supplement to get these two important minerals. If you are unsure, search the internet for studies of these two minerals and you will be convinced. Additionally, you may want to start using a Collagen cream. It helps to protect you skin from damaging pollutants and helps your skin restore its elasticity. You can buy a Collagen rich cream at your local pharmacy or grocery store.

By learning to manage stress and using the right skin care precautions, you can slow down the premature effects of aging. We all want silky smooth skin and healthy nails and hair. Start by realizing how environmental factors combined with the way we handle stress affects your appearance. If you start today you can retain your youthful appearance for many years to come.
