Five Super Foods That Will Make you Look Younger!

The secret to healthy youthful looking skin lies in the food you eat, which
will keep you looking younger than your years!  Obviously avoiding nicotine
and excessive sunlight will help but dermatologist, Dr. Nicholas Perricone
says, “the wrong food choices cause inflammation down to the cellular level.
And while you can’t see it, that inflammation leads directly to wrinkling,
sagging, and premature aging.”

Here are the 5 Super Foods to eat to prevent that from happening:

1.  WILD SALMON

Astaxanthin is the pigment that makes the fish pink and powerfully
helps fight against free radicals. These are molecules that damage cell
membranes and DNA and cause skin to age.  A study found that eating
one serving every five days can prevent actinic keratoses.  Those ugly rough
patches that are precancerous.

2.  SWEET POTATOES

Beta-carotene, which makes these potatoes orange helps balance your
skins PH, combat dryness, and promotes cellular turnover, which all
results in smoother skin.

3.  TOMATOES

Lycopene, the tomatoes red pigment, is a potent antioxidant that shields skin
from sun damage, like sunscreen, but from the inside out.  To best absorb
lycopene eat tomatoes with olive oil.  This is one of my favorite sides with
lamb chops or fillet Mignon, giving you the protein, healthy fats and nutrient
dense carbs, creating a great meal following the Rapidly Ripped Eating Strategy!

4.  CITRUS FRUITS

Vitamin C is essential to building collagen, a vital component to young
looking skin, which starts breaking down in your twenties.  Bioflavonoids, which protect skin from UV rays and help prevent cell death are also found in citrus fruits.

5.  LEAFY GREENS

Lutein, which is found in spinach, kale and other greens, helps protect skin from sun-induced inflammation and wrinkles.

Bonus Tip to Prevent Wrinkles:

Stay away from white foods!  Here is another reason to avoid white breads, pasta, rice and other refined grain products – they’re quickly broken down to the ultimate white food: SUGAR!  Once in the blood stream, sugar bonds with protein and creates advanced glycation end products, which cause collagen to become inflamed and stiff, leading to wrinkles!

These five and many more anti-aging foods as well as the best fat burning foods, are all part of the Rapidly Ripped Program, which not only will help you get lean, ripped and muscular, but will also help you to continue to “improve with age!”
