Whether it's stress, lack of sleep, too much sun, or the effects of smoking or pollution, when free radicals multiply, our bodies and skin suffer. The result ? Spots, wrinkles, fine lines and saggy skin. That's where antioxidants come in. Known for their ability to combat free radicals, antioxidants are found in foods. Well, we love to eat, so that's a win-win. However, the quality of the antioxidants varies according to how fresh they are and how they are stored, so try to eat as much fresh produce as possible. For antioxidant-rich meals, include avocados, berries, red peppers, artichokes, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. Season your dishes with turmeric, crushed garlic and linseed, and wash them down with green tea, cranberry juice and coffee. What you're looking for is foods rich in vitamins C and E, polyphenols (found in chocolate, yippee!), lycopene (abundant in tomatoes) and pro-vitamin A.
