How
to Avoid Wrinkles and Look Younger
By Valerian D.
A recent study conducted at the Berlin Charite hospital concluded
that people having a high concentration of antioxidants in their
skin have fewer wrinkles and look younger.
Antioxidants
are compounds that act as killers of free radicals mopping up
these unstable oxygen molecules that, in excess, can destroy the
basic cells' structure and their genetic material (DNA) as well.
Among the main antioxidants for the skin we can mention vitamins
C and E, and coenzyme Q10.
Our
body cannot produce all requested antioxidants on its own. It
must to make up the rest of amount using ingredients such as beta-carotene
as well as Vitamins A, C, D and E. The study confirmed that non-vegetarians
had less antioxidants in their bodies than vegetarians. To help
our body to complete its important task we must supply with fruits
and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, paprika, cabbage, oranges,
lemons and so on.
Despite
of fact it is not yet perfectly clear whether antioxidants can
effectively protect against heart disease, cancer, premature aging,
and other conditions, the study suggests that antioxidants decrease
skin roughness, length of facial lines, and wrinkle depth. So,
people with a normal diet can have their skin look younger by
just adding lots of fruits and vegetables in their meals.
