ANTIOXIDANTS FOR Anti-Aging
Every day we are exposed to air pollution, sunlight,
smoke and more, all which create "free radicals".
The food we eat can also contribute to free radical
damage and inflammation. Refined sugar, soft drink,
white bread, pasta and excess coffee all contribute to
the chemical reactions that produce free radicals.

Among other effects in the body, free radicals attack
your skin's collagen layer, accelerating the creation
of fine lines and wrinkles. This process is called,
"photo aging". Much research has been done with
regard to the benefits of antioxidants to combat the
production of free radicals. Recent research has
shown us that topical Vitamin C can help to improve
skin tone and elasticity, helps re-build collagen and
improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Plant antioxidants also help stop free radical skin
damage. Grapeseed and green tea are specific skin
antioxidants as are vitamin A from carrot seed oil,
B6 and zinc.

Good food sources of antioxidants are fruit and
vegetables. Two serves of fruit and 5 serves of
vegetables per day is a healthy aim. Choose as many
different coloured fruits and vegetables as you can for
a rich variety of antioxidants. If you don't already,
challenge yourself to reach this goal of 7 serves
per day. You will soon notice a difference in your
skin health if you choose fruit and vegetables over
refined sugars and "white" foods.

In general, antioxidants help to maintain the health
of the skin cells such as collagen and elastin which
keeps skin supple. Use both topical antioxidants as well as eating plenty of different healthy foods that contain antioxidants.
