Every woman wants to look young at any age.

becomes drier and the process of aging starts, luckily there are ways to slow
down this process. One of them is eating foods containing vitamins and amino
acids useful for the skin.

and E, which are helping us to struggle with a dull skin color and improves
skin elasticity. Also, this fruit contains large amount of mono-saturated fatty
acids and Omega -3 fatty acid which improve the state of skin, hair and nails,
but also stimulate brain activity, increase testosterone production, reduce
blood pressure and acts as antidepressant. Thus, include this fruit in your
everyday menu, you will not only forget about the problems you’re your skin,
but also improve your health.

skin. This is a great alternative to coffee, which adversely affects the state
of the skin and leads to premature aging.
3.
Berries
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and
bilberries contain 12 times more antioxidants than most of the fruits. Studies
have shown that the inclusion of these berries in your daily diet helps to
prevent skin aging and improves brain functioning. It’s advised to eat frozen
berries as in this case they lose less useful elements.
4.
Dark chocolate

for your skin, though it is true only for black chocolate containing at least
50% of cocoa. Due to the high content of flavonols (antioxidants, neutralizing

wrinkles and reduce the risk of skin cancer. Chocolate also improves memory and
helps the body to fight with chronic fatigue syndrome and insomnia.

nutrients to your skin. They are contained both in fruits and in pomegranate
juice
