New Study on the Beauty Benefits of Food

For years now, scientists have been studying and discovering the many benefits of certain foods and eating healthy. It seems like we hear about these new findings every few days or so, and when they talk about the benefits of food, those benefits are usually along the lines of health benefits, disease fighting, etc. It is not too often that a study on food leads to exciting beauty news. However, a recent study has done just that; the results of it will excite many people out there – particularly those who are always looking for new anti aging products. Apparently, according to this study, reversing the aging process can be as simple as eating!

Scientists were very happy with the results of this study, because they not only found that it is possible to slow down the aging process with food, but it is possible to actually reverse the process altogether as well. I think we can all agree that most of the anti aging products that are available today do nothing but take your money, but food never lies. A calorie is a calorie, and it will always have the same effect on your body. A carbohydrate never tries to pretend to be something that it is not, and it will do the same thing in your body from the time you are born to the time you die. Food never lies, so we can trust the results of this study. Some results only take hours to feel and see, while others take a few years to notice, but either way, it is a lot cheaper and healthier to use food as a anti aging agent.

The result that takes the least amount of time to notice is that your stress levels will go down. Stress is a big cause of aging, and you can usually tell the difference between someone who has had an easy, non stressful life and someone who has had a harder life by looking at their faces. Beat stress by eating more potatoes, bananas, chickpeas, poultry and red meats. These foods are high in Vitamin B6 which a lot of women are deficient of without even knowing it.

The study also found that you can boost your memory in just weeks by eating more foods that contain folate. Spinach and lentils are great sources of folate, but if you find you aren’t getting enough of these foods, consider taking a multi vitamin that includes folate. Looking younger is not just about your appearance, its also about feeling younger, and nothing makes you feel older than losing your memory and forgetting where you put things!

Eating more green, leafy vegetables can improve your eye health because of a key ingredient called Lutein. According to the study, Lutein is vital to eye health and over a period of a few months you should be able to lessen your glasses prescription or do away with it altogether, depending on how bad your eyesight is at the moment.

Another benefit from eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains and cutting back on the unhealthier foods is that it will show in your face. Do your facial skin a favor and eat healthier. You will see the anti aging results in just a few weeks and people will start wondering what you did to look so young!
