As we age, our skin starts to take on a different appearance from how it previously was, showing signs of our age in the form of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots or sagging. This is because our bodies produce more proteins like collagen to keep skin looking and feeling young and energized, but this slows down after we hit our late twenties.
Unfortunately, there is no magic pill you can take to instantly transform your skin to its younger state. But there is something you can eat to restore important nutrients to your skin that helps your skin to look younger over time.
Even though they are small might be small, blueberries really are a superfood. They help your body inside and out, due to their high levels of antioxidants, vitamin E, zinc and iron. This allows blueberries to help improve many areas of your health, including improving cognitive function, promoting better digestive health and improving vision.
Blueberries are also great for the health of your skin and hair - the antioxidants and vitamins in them can benefit your skin by promoting a younger appearance and protecting skin from environmental damage. Plus, these vitamins also aid in hair growth.
Every woman over the age of 30 should start making blueberries a part of her daily routine to keep skin looking young and fresh as she ages. If you eat blueberries frequently, you can help deliver antioxidants to your body to protect your skin from environmental damage, therefore preventing certain signs of aging from even occurring.
It’s best to make blueberries a part of your morning routine because there are so many things you can do with them for breakfast. Some of our favorite blueberry breakfast recipes are a Blueberry Breakfast Parfait, Blueberry Pie Overnight Oats and Blueberry Muffins.
