How The Top Anti Aging Nutrients
Can Help You Look AND Feel Great

Home » Anti Aging Foods » Anti Aging Nutrients

Wondering which anti aging nutrients can make you look great on the outside while making you healthy on the inside too?

Even though we can’t stop time eating well, taking care of our skin and living a balanced life can slow it down. Or, at very least slow the effects of aging on our bodies.

You know that making certain food choices can keep you healthy, but they also provide nutrients that may help slow down the aging process, helping to keep your skin looking youthful, your bones strong and your mind sharp.

Here are the 3 most important nutrients to include in your diet.

Vitamin C

The benefits of Vitamin C or vast. It's not surprising that it's also a potent anti aging nutrient.

A 2007 study published in the “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” found that middle-aged women with higher intakes of foods rich in vitamin C had fewer wrinkles, firmer skin and less dryness.

How does Vitamin C work to reduce wrinkles?

Vitamin C is needed to make a structural protein called collagen, the protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic.

As you age, your body’s ability to make collagen decreases. Including more vitamin C rich foods in your body may help limit this reduction. In addition, as an antioxidant, vitamin C protects your skin from free radical damage, another culprit of the aging process.

Foods rich in vitamin C include green peppers, tomatoes, spinach, kiwifruit, oranges and cantaloupe. Bring it on!

Calcium and Vitamin D

Although you cannot see it, bone health is also an important part of the aging process.

As you get older, your bones shrink and become less dense, making them more susceptible to fractures. And, like we've been reading for years, Calcium and vitamin D are important anti aging nutrients and essential for bone health.

How much do you need?

Adults need 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium and 600 to 800 IU of vitamin D a day.

Calcium rich foods include dairy foods, fortified soy milk and orange juice, kale, broccoli and figs. Vitamin D is only found in a few foods, including fortified milk, eggs, liver, salmon and tuna.

Your body can make its own vitamin D through sun exposure. So those in sunny climates need less Vitamin D-rich foods. Those of us I Canada or Norway (for example) would need to take supplements during the winter.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

It seems you can’t go anywhere without reading or seeing something about the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.

As an anti aging nutrient, omega-3 fatty acids help keep both your heart, brain AND skin youthful. It also helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol and limits inflammation, all major risk factors for heart disease. Things that become more of a concern as we age.

Omega-3 fatty acids are concentrated in the brain and appear to be involved in both memory and cognition.

The American Heart Association recommends you include two servings of fatty fish, such as salmon or albacore tuna, in your diet each week for its omega-3 fatty acid content.

Other food sources include mackerel, sardines, flaxseed and walnuts.

We're all wondering about anti aging nutrients that will reduce our wrinkles and make us feel 18 again.

Certain foods certainly are more effective in fighting wrinkles and keep our bodies healthier.
