11 Ways To Achieve the Healthiest Skin Possible (2 of 6)

2. Antioxidants are awesome

One of the factors that causes the body to age are free radicals. One of the most effective ways to ward off the effects of these aging culprits is to eat a diet that is rich in antioxidants. Consuming pecans, blueberries, garlic, sweet potatoes, and coffee – yes, coffee – are some of the best ways to achieve this! 

3. Copper is key

Some really good sources of copper include whole grains, oysters and other shellfish, chocolate, and seeds.
