Eating superfoods may be a better way to combat ageing than creams

Many over-the-counter creams contain strong chemicals and even snake venom or snail slime. Confusing labelling and small print on creams makes it increasingly difficult to determine what they really contain. Mr Knivett from Creative Nature who offer natural anti-ageing products said, ‘It is absolutely shocking what some of the topical creams found at your local department store contain. Many of the big brands attempt to pack their products with fragrance, which may seem like a good thing to do, but to those in the know I can have extremely damaging effects on the skin. When consumers see the word fragrance, they should be aware that this is an umbrella term of around 4000 different ingredients and many of these are carcinogenic or toxic’.

However, a new movement is starting that emphasises the importance of diet in looking good, and in particular superfoods that may combat signs of ageing in the skin.  One of the best is apricot kernels, dubbed one of the healthiest foods on the planet.  They are grown in the Himalayas and have been eaten for thousands of years by the Hunzas, Hopi Indians and the Karakorum for numerous health benefits. The kernels are rich in vitamins B17, B1 and B6 which help give the skin a youthful glow as well as providing essential vitamins for your general health. 

The kernels themselves are very bitter and shouldn’t be swallowed whole, so it’s best to grind them up and sprinkle on cereal or other food, or include them in fruit juice or a healthy fruit smoothie. Mr Knivett added, ‘instead of purchasing expensive topical creams for your anti-ageing needs, I would certainly advise those seeking that youthful glow to try apricot kernels for a few months and to see the huge benefits that can be reaped from incorporating something so small into their daily diet.’

Thanks for publishing this information. I have never heard anything about dangerous toxins in Anti-ageing cream before. It’s true that many Anti-ageing creams are expensive and a large number of women spend lots of money for buying such products.

After reading your article I am now totally in agreement with you that taking anti–aging foods and some other super supplements are better than using anti-aging creams. Some such foods which really work against anti-aging are:  Colostrum, Gold-360, Organic Green Mix, Quantum-State etc.

To prevent and reduce the signs of aging in your own body, it is important to examine your diet. Fast foods and highly processed materials contribute toxins to your system. The ever present food preservatives do not in fact preserve us
