A diet rich in antioxidants is the key not only to a healthy body but also to radiant, youthful skin. What exactly should you eat to not only feel great but also look great? <\/h3>\n

Remember that nutrients are also absorbed through the pores of your skin. So the products you use for your daily skincare routine are just as important as what\u2019s on your plate. Find out how to effectively enhance the benefits of your skincare products with an antioxidant-rich diet. <\/p>\n

Antioxidants\u2014what are they?<\/h3>\n

Antioxidants are substances that combat free radicals. In doing so, they prevent damage to the body\u2019s cells, slow down the aging process, and minimize the risk of diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases and cancer. You\u2019ll find these essential components for a long, healthy life in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as in flavonoids and carotenoids. So, what does an antioxidant-rich diet consist of? <\/p>\n

The Most Important Antioxidants<\/h3>\n

The good news for vegetarians is that the best sources of antioxidants are fruits and vegetables\u2014the more colorful, the better. Importantly, in our climate, antioxidants can be found in both fresh and frozen produce. However, while freezing does not affect the antioxidant content, cooking does. In most cases, it is therefore best to choose unprocessed fruits and vegetables. The exceptions are tomatoes and grapes. While tomatoes are best eaten stewed or cooked, we recommend grapes in the form of wine. <\/p>\n

Some of the most easily absorbed antioxidants are found in lettuce, bell peppers, spinach, kale, apples, citrus fruits, pomegranates, and kiwis.<\/p>\n

Legumes, nuts, dark chocolate, green and black tea, red wine, cocoa, and coffee are also rich in antioxidants.<\/p>\n

Chokeberries, rosehips, blueberries, blackcurrants, and cranberries, on the other hand, are rich in flavonoids.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the opposite of antioxidants\u2014that is, foods containing free radicals\u2014are baked goods with long shelf lives, as well as fried foods like potato chips and french fries.<\/p>\n

Antioxidants in cosmetics<\/h3>\n

Antioxidants in cosmetics are non-toxic ingredients and are therefore well-tolerated by the skin. They are resistant to external factors. So, complement a diet rich in antioxidants with external care. This way, you will not only regenerate and moisturize your skin but also restore its proper hydrolipid barrier. Antioxidants in creams also stimulate collagen production and help eliminate signs of fatigue, such as dark circles under the eyes or dull skin. Their ability to slow down aging processes is utilized in many anti-wrinkle cosmetics. <\/p>\n

Check the label of your cosmetic product for the following ingredients:<\/p>\n
