Produce Aisle Pick Puts the Brakes on Skin Aging
The cosmetics industry has convinced us that the secret to vibrant, youthful skin can only be found at the bottom of their pricey anti-aging creams and lotions.
But I’ll tell you the BEST anti-aging secret I know: The better you feel, the better you LOOK.
The takeaway of that secret is that feeling better starts on the inside.
Here’s a prime example.
It’s a summer fruit that can boost your heart and brain health—all while making you LOOK younger, too.
It’s blueberry season again.
I’ll admit that I’d like to eat them all year round. But foods are their tastiest and most nutritious when they’re in season.
And besides, they’re especially delicious when you can buy them from local farms.
A while back, I told you about an exciting study that found eating blueberries could reduce blood pressure, improve blood vessel function, and boost memory.
(If you missed that report, CATCH UP HERE.)
Now, a new study reveals that this anthocyanin-rich fruit can ALSO fight skin aging by preventing environmental skin damage.
You see, your skin is under daily assault from stressors like air pollution. This causes excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which stimulate oxidative stress and premature aging.
Anthocyanins are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antimicrobial properties—all of which can improve the health of your skin.
In fact, in vitro studies show that the anthocyanins in blueberries scavenge (collect and remove) those harmful ROS.
In other words, anti-aging blueberries bolster your body’s defenses against daily stressors.
Blueberries alone won’t completely stop your skin’s aging clock, of course. But they sure can slow it down.
And every little bit helps.
So instead of spending your ENTIRE skincare budget on pricey potions, lotions, and creams, invest a few bucks in blueberries too.
P.S. THIS naturally occurring anti-aging powerhouse can help combat everything from wrinkles to joint pain. CLICK HERE for the scoop.
