Berries Can Fight Off The Signs Of Aging

 When most people hear the word nti-aging?in skincare, they immediately think of older, more mature skin, that needs to reverse the signs of aging. And this is partly true, however, I always say that nti-aging?also means using preventative skincare treatments and routines in order to avoid the pitfalls of aging skin. Anyone, no matter how old you are, can benefit from them.

 Eating berries, in my estimation, falls under nutritional skincare. The anti-aging berry repairs your skin and prevents it from aging.

 Most people in North America are well aware of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries and strawberries. These are the most common berries and can be consumed as a yummy snack, in your cereal as a natural sweetener or with your yogurt.

 However, some less known but stellar examples are the Himalayan Goji berries and the Brazilian Acai berries.

 Goji berries are actually a super berry according to many nutritional and medical studies and research shows that they contain more Vitamin C than oranges, more iron than meat, and more beta carotene than carrots. They also contain a considerable amount of Vitamin B complex, up to 19 ERYthromycin Enteric coated and 21 trace minerals and are of course loaded with antioxidants.

 Acai berries have been touted as a super food in scores of articles by nutritional experts and even Oprah did a show with skincare guru Dr. Perricone to highlight the(nutritional value of the Acai berry.

 Medical journals state that this powerful berry has about ten times the amount of antioxidants as most fruits and it only the size of a grape.

 However, you will only find acai berry in juice or powder form in U.S supermarkets due to it highly perishable nature. Most experts agree that this rare energy fruit is their number one super food for great health and beautiful looking skin.
