5 Foods To Keep You Young

Everyone's scared of getting older, and anyone who says's they aren't is lying to you. Wrinkles, hair loss, brittle bones, sagging breasts...seriously, who is looking forward to that? I sure as hell am not. At least there are things we can do to combat how fast we age and how. Take a look at these 5 foods that fight aging.

Avocado
This fruit, yes fruit because it has a seed, seems to turn up on a lot of lists. Not only will it keep you ready for some hot lovin' but it will keep you looking good enough for hot lovin' as well. Avocados are a good source of the "Master Antioxidant" glutathione, an natural anti aging compound. Avocados are also a source of L-cysteine, which helps protect your body from the harmful effects of pollution, chemicals, radiation, alcohol, and smoke. It also encourages healthy hair and nail growth. Nothing yes "youthful" like a full head of luxurious hair.

Apricots
I am not a big fan of this fruit, maybe because I've only every tried the dehydrated version of it. But regardless of the taste, eat up. Research has shown that apricots have the highest levels and widest variety of carotenoids of any food. What the hell are Carotenoids? They're antioxidants that help prevent heart disease, reduce "bad cholesterol" levels, and protect against cancer. All things that will age the hell out of you, mostly because they lead to death, and nothing ages you faster than the look of rotting flesh.

Nuts
Toned biceps equal an awesome body, which puts you in the Hot Mom category by default, and when you're hot no one cares how old you are because "hotness" surpasses the pettiness of "age." Stocking up on nuts will help increase muscle tone. Many nuts and seeds are rich sources of vitamin E, lignants and omega-3 fatty acids, which protect you from the ravages of aging.

Apples
The saying is true in this case. "An apple a day keeps the plastic surgeon away." Gobbling these down, two or three at a time will keep you young and healthy for years. Apples have also been linked to keeping fat from forming  in the abdominal section.





Berries
Berry season is in full swing, which is great because they too are bursting with antioxidants and flavonoids. These flavonoids are more potent than vitamins C and E, and they also help to reduce inflammation - more effectively even than aspirin! Say goodbye to the bags under your eyes.
