Summary |
Beets, pumpkin seeds, mangoes--these are some of the best foods for fighting aging and keeping your skin beautiful. The nutrients in these foods--from vitamins A, B, and C to the minerals iron and zinc--act as powerful antioxidants, neutralizing the free radicals that form in your skin due to sun exposure, environmental toxins, and a poor diet. The entire body needs these antioxidants in order to work properly and retain a glowing, healthy appearance. Here, you'll learn more about how the three superstar foods above--and ninety-seven others--can do more for your skin and overall beauty than any night cream, facelift, or Botox injection. Nutritional scientist Allison Tannis guides you through the many layers of your skin and reveals what actions you can take to prevent wrinkles, eliminate existing ones, and improve your complexion. No waiting lists, risky surgeries, or astronomical costs--just delicious, healthy food.--From publisher description. |
