Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

Have you ever thought that what you eat everyday could be contributing to your wrinkles? We often say as we age, ” I wish I knew of something magical to get rid of these wrinkles.” So, we run out and buy tons of the lotions and potions hoping they will work the magic. Or, we may do something even more radical and run to the plastic surgeon.

People are searching for that youthful, radiant glow. One top national plastic surgeon is on record in several magazines as saying that this radiant, youthful glow can not be attained surgically by tucking and tightening. However, it has been proven possible to revitalize skin and hair from the inside out, by what we eat and drink. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all wrinkles could be prevented?

There are certain foods that may help with premature aging. Anti-oxidant foods in particular. Here are some foods to keep the wrinkles away:

• Mono-saturated fat
• Olive Oil
• Fish
• Yogurt
• Eggs
• Nuts
• Legumes
• Veggies
• Fruit

Now, on the flip side of that. Here are some food which will create wrinkles:

• Saturated fats
• Fatty processed meats
• Soft drinks
• Desserts such as cakes, pastries
• Potatoes
• Margarine
• Snack Foods (man made)

Food is our best medicine. Changing one’s diet can take years off the face. Even something as simple as eating canteloupe a couple times per week can make a big difference. Doctors are even beginning to suggest eating more healthy foods and less low fat food to keep the hair and skin from becoming less dry.

The bottom line is that low-sugar diets high in varied fruits and vegatables, nuts, legumes and fish will help prevent the premature aging process. Other protectors include:

• Vitamin C - a wrinkle smoother
• Vitamin A - evens out the skin tones, works to prevent acne and dry, itchy skin.

So, with this as food for thought, hopefully your next meal won’t contribute to your next wrinkle! Bon appetite!
