There are a lot of healthy foods that will prevent wrinkles and the other signs of aging. In fact, just eating right can not only help you live longer, it can also help you look younger while you are doing it. So next time you are in the mood for something salty, grab a handful of nuts instead of that peanut butter crunch bar. So this doesn’t sound as good?

Below is just a sampling of healthy foods that are proven age-fighters:
• Oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits
There is a lot of vitamin C in all citrus. Vitamin C is one of the best products out there as it literally seals up the wrinkles and cracks in your skin. Vitamin C is used widely in topical anti-aging products. However, healing from within is so very important and if you eat oranges you will get a heavy dose of vitamin C.
• Walnuts
Walnuts are loaded with antioxidants. Which can make them great suppliers of cancer fighting compounds. Not only will they impede skin cancer from developing, but can fight other types of environmental weathering.
• Green tea
Green tea is another great source for antioxidants.
• Almonds
There is a lot of vitamin E in almonds. Scars and stretch marks will be diminished when applying vitamin E topically. Using vitamin E topically an diminish the appearance of age spots. Taken internally vitamin E will actually help to prevent age spots from forming.
(Note: if you take vitamin E and are having surgery anytime soon, you will want to ask you doctor about the correct to take. Taking extra vitamin E will make people bleed more, so you should probably stop taking supplements for now)
