Foods That Can Help You Look Younger


1. Avocado
You’ve probably heard that avocado makes you gain weight because of its high fat content. But perhaps you did not know that those fats are very healthy. Eating one avocado a day reduces cholesterol levels and supports the process of skin regeneration. It provides your body with vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, and it is rich in folic acid.
Tip: Have you tried avocado juice? It’s never too late to try new things. It’s very creamy and easy to make. Just put avocado pulp, milk, crushed ice, and a spoonful of brown sugar into the blender, and blend until smooth.
2. Berries
Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, grapes... These small fruits contain antioxidant properties that prevent or delay some types of cell damage and can reduce joint swelling and pain.
We especially recommend that you consume blueberries as they improve cognitive abilities and help prevent urinary diseases, Alzheimer’s, and dementia.
3. Carrots
This vegetable is known to protect the eyes thanks to beta-carotene, a substance that the body converts to vitamin A. It helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function smoothly. It also protects the skin from photoaging — premature wrinkling of the skin caused by exposure to UV rays.
Remember not to overcook carrots as this will significantly reduce the amount of essential nutrients and vitamins.
4. Citrus Fruits 
Citrus fruits are a primary source of vitamin C and folic acid. They help decrease levels of cholesterol and uric acid in the blood. If you consume them regularly, they will help you prevent circulatory problems, heart conditions, and diseases like gout which cause terrible pain in the joints.
Drinking lemon juice on an empty stomach cleans the colon and detoxifies the body. In addition, your body will absorb its nutrients first of all, and you will feel healthy and radiant.
5. Garlic
Not only is garlic a powerful weapon to deter vampires but it also kills most infections if used properly. We know that garlic breath can be very strong and hard to get rid of, but the incredible benefits garlic offers make it worthwhile.
Its fungicidal and bactericidal properties make this anti-aging superfood one of the best natural antibiotics. It also balances cholesterol, improves blood circulation and hypertension, and helps reduce the risk of certain cancers.

What makes heart disease so deadly is the progressive buildup of plaque in the arteries, which narrows the inner walls, restricting and ultimately blocking the flow of blood.
