As far back as the 1930s, scientist McCay et al discovered that by giving mice, fish and flies a calorie restricted diet they were able to extend the lifespan of the animals and subdue the aging process. Although the possible role of a calorie-restriction diet for slowing the aging process in humans is still under investigation, studies do seem to support the claim that by including certain foods in the diet and controlling the amount of calories we eat, we may be able to not only extend life expectancy but also produce and maintain a healthy body and youthful skin. So here is Femme Slenders Anti Aging Guidelines:AvocadoInclude avocado in your diet since its a good source of vitamin E and can help prevent skin aging and is also rich in potassium which helps prevent fluid retention which can often give the illusion of being fat, despite being water retention.BerriesMost berries (e.g. blackberries, blueberries and blackcurrants) contain anti-oxidants known as flavonoids which can help fight against free radicals that can cause skin aging amongst many other health problems.Avoid SugarAvoid sugar in your diet since not only is it the primary factor in fat gain (lipolysis) but it is also responsible for aging the skin through a process known as glycationGarlicEating a clove of garlic a day helps to protect the body against diseases associated with aging such as cancer and heart disease.
