The food that tops the ant–ageing food list is Apple. Apples are rich in antioxidants and pectin, which not only kill the free radicals but also lower cholestrol.
Among nuts Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, which is rich in amino acids and reduces the tendency of the skin to suffer any xidative damage.
Green tea is another important source of polyphenols, which is a must for skin rejuvenation.
