More on Natural Anti-Aging Solutions

While on the topic of natural anti-aging solutions, here are the top fruits and vegetables you should eat based on their oxygen radical absorbance capacity. ORAC is one way to measure antioxidant capacity of food. The higher the better. Essentially this is in accordance with research suggesting that free radicals cause or at least enhance the aging process.

Note: free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules that attract electrons away from healthy cells.

Thus eating antioxidant rich food is your best line of first defense against aging. Try to get these organic, whenever you can:

Highest scoring ORAC fruits:

Acai fruit
Cranberry
Blueberry (wild is substantially better than cultivated)
Plums (black)
Blackberry
Raspberry

Highest scoring ORAC vegetables:

Artichokes
Peas
Butterhead lettuce
Cabbage
Broccoli

Start by including these in your daily ration and you’ll feel younger in no time!

I use carrot, aloe vera, and cucumber for my anti-aging skin care.
