A doctor has shared a list of the best vitamin and mineral-rich superfoods you can eat that may help prevent premature ageing - and could work better for you than cosmetics
Dr Eric Berg DC, a health expert specialising in healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting, has advised people to abandon creams, serums and Botox for a more natural method to fight early signs of ageing. He suggests addressing the issue from within by eating superfoods rich in vitamins and minerals.
Collagen is a crucial protein that maintains the structure and strength of various connective tissues such as skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is produced by the body from amino acids taken in through food. In terms of what you should eat, the expert dishes out advice on several anti-ageing vitamins and minerals that are a must in your diet to fend off the signs of ageing. Dr Berg says the best vitamins and minerals to 'reverse ageing' include a good dose of vitamin C, which is crucial for collagen production. He rates raw sauerkraut as a top pick for its high vitamin C content.
Zinc is also on the list for its skin-preserving and wound-healing properties, found aplenty in oysters, red meat, and liver. Copper gets a nod from Dr Berg too, with oysters, red meat, shellfish, liver, and dark chocolate being rich in it. Dr Berg says there are anti-ageing benefits of intermittent fasting too, a practice that can trigger a process in the body known as autophagy, which he claims has powerful 'youthful' effects. Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you go without food for several hours each day.
