You would think seasonal fruits and vegetables would be the key to a healthy diet and a healthier you.

For the most part I'd agree.

Figure into the equation more than just what you and I grow in the garden.

From Health.com there are eight specific foods that can make you look younger.  And who wouldn't want that?

  • Watermelon-It has Lycopene, which acts like a natural sunscreen and prevents UV damage.  One serving is like putting on SPF 3
  • Pomegranates-They have a ton of antioxidants that increase collagen production in your skin, to prevent wrinkles
  • Blueberries-The vitamin C and vitamin E help brighten your skin
  • Lobster and other shellfish-The zinc accelerates the renewal of skin cells, and it can help with acne
  • Kale-The vitamin K helps with blood clotting, which can prevent you from getting dark circles under your eyes.  It also has a ton of iron, and if you don't have enough iron in your diet, you start to look pale
  • Cantaloupe-The vitamin A helps prevent your pores from getting clogged
  • Avocados-The omega-9 fatty acids help your skin retain moisture and look young
  • Walnuts-The omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E help keep your hair looking healthy.  They're also loaded with copper, and researchers think that having a copper deficiency is one of the things that causes grey hair
