Add These Ingredients to Your Diet For Amazing Skin

Aging is about as inevitable as it gets. You can't stop yourself from getting older, but you certainly are in control of the way you feel and look as you do it.

One of the easiest ways you can manage the way you look as you get older is by changing your diet. You can give your body all the nutrients it needs to keep repairing and rejuvenating itself inside and out. And this can make a remarkable difference.

Garlic + Vitamin C – Perfect for Blotchy Skin

The reason that this is so effective, is that garlic and vitamin C work synergistically together to raise levels of nitric oxide in your body. This is a 'vasodilator' that has the effect of widening the blood vessels (the veins and arteries) to let more blood pass through. This is great for your brain because it means you get more oxygen carried up, and it's fantastic for muscle recovery. For your skin though, it's also amazing because it helps to ensure that you have healthy blood-flow to your face. This can help to remove the blotchiness and even out your skin tone while at the same time ensuring your skin gets the nutrients it needs. A simple, and yummy, way to get in more garlic and vitamin C is to make a dressing (or marinade) using apple cider vinegar, chopped up garlic, and either fresh lime, lemon, or orange juice.

Red Grapes – Amazing Anti-Aging

Red grapes contain resveratrol. Resveratrol is part of a group of compounds called polyphenols that are thought to act like antioxidants. Antioxidants can help to remove free radicals from the body that bombard our cells. It's this bombardment of free radicals that normally causes the cell walls to deteriorate over-time and this is one of the processes that causes the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes on the skin. Resveratrol also appears to boost the function of the mitochondria – the energy factories in our cells. This not only means you have more energy throughout the day, but it also means your cells become more efficient and don't undergo as much damaging oxidation. Less damaging oxidation, leads to our skin continuing to look healthy.
