Anti-Aging<br />
Lifestyle Changes<br />
By Azucena Gamarra, MS, RD, CD<br />
Do you want to<br />
maintain a youthful<br />
skin and appearance<br />
as you age? The earlier<br />
you start preventing<br />
damage caused by<br />
external and internal<br />
factors, the better<br />
your results will be.<br />
Antioxidants<br />
Many experts believe that oxidation, or damage to the cells and DNA, plays<br />
a primary role in chronic disease and aging. Antioxidants are vitamins (A, C,<br />
and E), minerals (zinc, selenium), and phytochemicals (compounds in plants).<br />
High antioxidant foods include blueberries, blackberries, plums, red or black<br />
beans, artichoke hearts, red apples, green tea, and white tea.<br />
