Dear Vanessa,

Who wouldn't want to stay young forever? Regularly hailed by health professionals because of their remarkable health benefits, incorporating prunes, blueberries and pomegranate juice provides a tasty way to boost your beauty regime. Prunes helps to slow the aging process of the brain as well as the body and is excellent for increasing one's vitality. The high levels of antioxidants in prunes helps to neutralize free radicals (one of the greatest causes of skin aging) before they can do any damage.

Blueberries are literally bursting with nutrients and flavor. They are able to work their magic as they contain anthocyanins and phenolics that also act as antioxidants. Pomegranate juice represents another of the foods recently touted for its health benefits. It has been shown to work well as a blood thinner and is an excellent agent for promoting blood flow to the heart.

Salmon also contains antioxidants that stimulates the nerve function and encourages the muscles under the skin to contract and tighten - better than a facelift! The zinc content keeps your collagen supply at its maximum, reducing the effect of wrinkles and sun damage on our skin.

I hope I have helped you in your quest for beauty.
