An orange a day may keep the wrinkles away.
In one of the first studies to examine the impact of nutrients from foods rather than supplements on skin aging, researchers reported that people who ate plenty of vitamin C–rich foods had fewer wrinkles than people whose diets contained little of the vitamin.
Diets rich in the omega–6 fatty acid linoleic acid were also associated with less skin aging from dryness and thinning, while higher–fat diets and those higher in carbohydrates were associated with more wrinkling.
Sunflower and safflower oils and many nuts are high in linoleic acid. Byproducts of linoleic acid are plentiful in salmon and other fatty fish.
The findings are far from conclusive, but they do suggest that when it comes to skin aging, you truly are what you eat.
