Top 10 Anti-Wrinkle Foods

Buckwheat 

Buckwheat is a superb source of rutin, a bioflavonoid that helps the body utilize vitamin C. Rutin also helps maintain collagen levels in the skin, keeping the skin elastic and firm.

Wheat Germ

Fed up with stubborn wrinkles and fine lines? Then be sure to include wheat germ in your diet! Wheat germ is packed with skin-smoothing nutrients. It is naturally very high in selenium and zinc, two important anti-wrinkle trace minerals. It is also a fairly concentrated source of vitamin B6 which promotes the absorption of zinc from the intestines.

To optimize the shelf life of this excellent anti-wrinkle food, store it in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from exposure to the sun.

 Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are by far the nature's best dietary source of selenium: a single Brazil nut provides more than the US reference daily intake! Due to their selenium content, combined with their high concentration of vitamin E, Brazil nuts are up there at the top of the anti-wrinkle food list.

 Eggs

Of all the protein rich foods, eggs are among the best sources of protein for people who are concerned about wrinkles.

Further, not only are eggs an excellent source of dietary protein, they also provide a wealth of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin E, and selenium. They also contain iron which helps the amino acids to form strong collagen.

Fish Roe

A little goes a long way when it comes to fish eggs, one of the best natural sources of DHA and EPA. DHA and EPA are types of omega-3 fatty acids and known for their ability to help keep the skin smooth. Ounce for ounce, fish eggs contain even more omega-3's than the fattiest fish.

Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruits are rich sources of vitamin C and contain more fiber than citrus juices. One medium orange provides 117 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, while one whole grapefruit provides over 120 percent.

Walnuts

Walnuts and walnut oil also contain omega-3 fatty acids. Tannis recommends topping salads with walnuts and making healthy salad dressing with walnut oil as healthy, skin-enhancing food options.

Whole Grains

Whole grains supply rich amounts of nutrients and fiber. The "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" study also reported a link between diets rich in refined
carbohydrates and aging skin.

Leafy Greens

Leafy green vegetables, such as spinach and kale, are rich in nutrients and fiber. The antioxidants in leafy greens protect your skin, according to dermatologist Lawrence E. Gibson. Consume a variety of leafy greens regularly for maximum benefits.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed also provides omega-3 fatty acid benefits and rich amounts of fiber. To reap maximum benefits, add ground flaxseed to cereals, smoothies, yogurt and baked goods frequently.
