Exposure to pollution, sunlight, stress and the normal processes of metabolism generate a lot of free radicals in our body. Free radical damage causes ageing of our body, and can destroy cells and DNA. Therefore, it is wise to have as many antioxidants in our diet as possible.
Hydration is also key to gorgeous looking skin. Our body retains less water molecules with age, hence skin feels dryer and wrinkles form. This is not just about drinking lots of water and applying moisturizers to our skin, but looking at our food choices that can keep our skin hydrated from the inside out.
