Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, had said, “Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.”
So, whatever your age at present, it is never too late to start caring for your skin and overall health. Invest in the right care now to reap a good anti-aging harvest in the coming years.
You need not spend a fortune on fancy creams and lotions to look younger and more beautiful as you age. Just make sure you feed your skin and your body certain nutrients that have a profound influence on how you age.
Here is a list of nutrients you must include in your diet NOW to age so beautifully it hardly looks you are aging!
1. Protein
After age 40, muscle mass declines at a rate of 1-2 per cent each year. Imagine how much muscle you may lose by the time you reach 50 or 60! This can render you fragile.
Protein is essential for each cell of the body, including skin, nails, and hair. Experts recommend 1.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight for older people.
Pump your body with chicken, yogurt, fish, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans, and eggs.
