Healthy foods are not the most well liked. Nonetheless, they can really taste great with little trouble. Use the information below to motivate yourself to eat fruit instead of something that is fruit flavored.

Healthy foods can actually keep wrinkles and signs of aging at bay. In fact, just eating right can not only help you live longer, it can also help you look younger while you are doing it. In other words, you should forego that peanut butter crunch bar and instead grab a handful of nuts. So this doesn’t sound as good? Maybe it will by the time you are finished reading this.

Below is just a sampling of healthy foods that are proven age-fighters:

• Oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits
Oranges and citrus fruits are high in vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the best healers out there when it comes to literally sealing up wrinkles and cracks in your skin. Topical vitamin C is popular in anti-aging products. However, the ability to heal from within is also important and eating oranges will give you a major dose of this vitamin.

• Walnuts
Walnuts have heavy amounts of antioxidants. This makes them great suppliers of certain cancer fighting compounds. They will not only block skin cancer from forming but can also fight all types of weathering to your skin.

• Green tea
Another good source of antioxidants is green tea.

• Almonds
Almonds and almond oil are full of vitamin E. Vitamin E will actually lighten scars and stretch marks when applied topically. It can also diminish existing age spots. However, when taken internally vitamin E can help prevent the formation of these marks in the first place.

(Note: if you are about to have surgery, ask your doctor about the appropriate amount of vitamin E for your diet. Extra vitamin E can actually make people bleed more, so you may want to stop taking it or any other supplements at this time)

There really are a lot of great reasons to eat healthy foods. Next time you need extra motivation, reread this and you won’t be tempted to skip the healthy foods.
