Unfortunately, there may not be much you can do; a study from Denmark shows that skin wrinkling and aging are influenced heavily by genetic factors (Age and Aging, January 2006). However, this doesn?t mean that you can smoke or spend many hours in the sun, two behaviors that are known to increase wrinkling. The authors studied twins to show that skin aging is associated equally between genetic and environmental factors. They also found that looking older with severely wrinkled skin is associated with dying earlier. You increase your chances of having aged, wrinkled skin by smoking, exposing your skin frequently to sunlight or being very thin.

Get More Nutrition by Choosing Produce with the
Right Colors

FarmWeek, a publication of the Illinois Farm Bureau, has a great guide to determining which color of produce will give the maximum nutrition.

Here is a quick synopsis:

Deep reds and bright pinks (tomatoes and watermelon) contain lycopene, an antioxidant that has been suggested to fight prostrate cancer.
Greens can protect the eyes (spinach, collards, kale and broccoli) and may reduce the risk of cancerous tumors (cabbage, brussel sprouts, turnips, and cauliflower)
Orange contains beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E. Everyday, eat oranges, sweet potatoes, carrots or apricots
Blues/Purples have flavonoid, phytonutrients and antioxidants. Blue may also ward of harmful carcinogens. Blueberries taste great and should be part of your daily diet.

The full artice is available here.

Remember, it is ALWAYS better to get your nutrition through natural foods than through pills and processed drinks.
