Is there a hormonal disorder that causes premature skin aging?
ANOREXIA absolutelly affects the way you and your skin looks. It is an extremely serious disorder!!!! If it is you, please talk to someone.





Diet affects everything in our bodies. It plays a vital role in how you look, feel and of course how you age.





Eating right to keep your skin soft, glowing and strong at any age:





·Orange/red fruits and vegetables: can include tomatoes, squash and carrots- these are packed with beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that is essential for healthy skin, scalp and mucous membranes.


·Shellfish and fish: try salmon, crab, shrimp and lobster- contain astaxanthin, an extremely potent antioxidant that protects your skin from the damaging environment, helps prevent age spots and wrinkling.


·Nuts and seeds- these are rich in vitamin E which helps protect the skin from sun damage


·Citrus fruits- such as oranges, grapefruits, are high in Vitamin C. It is essential to collagen production, and it is the collagen that gives connective tissue strength and resilience.


·Unrefined whole grain- these could be wheat, barley , oats and rye- all contain silica, a mineral that helps to repair damaged skin , hair and nails. Silica helps to strengthen collagen and elastin.











Anti-Aging Super- Foods:


Top pick for this category include any deeply pigmented fruits and vegetables. This includes tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, berries and grapes, garlic, onions, green tea, soybean, cold water fish and spices such as turmeric, cinnamon and cumin.


All of these are very rich in PHYTOCHEMICALS. These are the molecules that give the food the striking color, taste or smell. Their responsibility is to defend the plants against infection and environmental damage, and in humans they have shown to have anticancer activity. And , just like antioxidants, they help protect the body against harmful free radicals and vascular disease.





These foods also contain omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids help lower cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation and facilitate weight loss. Dark leafy greens, cold water fish and soybean are an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids.


They are also considered “hot” foods – they help the body burn calories in the form of heat, just by eating them.
