Anti Wrinkle Diet

Most people believe that the only way to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles is to use creams, ointments and botox. Perhaps the best way to look young is to eat proper and look after the skin. Over the years, there have been many diets formulated which are healthy and nutritious. And there are many diets which have been developed strictly for the purpose of making one look young and beautiful. There is no one best anti wrinkle diet. Different people respond differently to different diets but in general, fruits and vegetables should be essential in all anti wrinkle diets.


Some of the anti wrinkle diets which has been touted to erase fine lines and wrinkles include the following:


Raw Food diet is based on foods which are not cooked. The diet includes lots of raw vegetables, fruits and almost no meat products. This type of diet contains a lot of anti oxidants, vitamins and minerals- all useful ingredients to keep the skin looking young.


The Perricone diet is also highly recommended for individuals who want to have a fresh smooth anti wrinkle skin. This 28 day programmed diet is also known as the face lift diet. The diet is rich in various fruits, sea food, yogurt and whole grains. The ingredients in the Perricone diet are readily available in most groceries and the foods are easy to prepare. Individuals who have been on the Perricone diet swear that the diet can make the face look younger in just over a few weeks.


Coconut oil diets have also been hyped up to make the skin look young, radiant and wrinkle free. Coconut oil has been studied for years and been shown to lower blood cholesterol and help to reduce weight. While coconut oil in small amounts is great, higher levels of coconut have been associated with a greater incidence of heart disease.


No matter what type of anti wrinkle diet you adopt, it is essential to drink enough water on a daily basis. Water hydrates the skin and prevents dryness. The amount of water one should drink on a daily basis is variable and there is no exact number of glasses that one should drink. If you are thirsty one should drink water. Water is also much better than drinking beverages containing sugar and artificial sweeteners.



Aging is a complex process and there is no one single remedy to reverse the effects of nature. Even though an anti wrinkle diet is helpful, there are other things one can do to prevent premature aging of the skin. Foremost among these interventions is to quit smoking; smoking can hasten the appearance of wrinkles and make you look much older than the stated age. There are many anti aging creams available and the majority work well as moisturizers and contain a fair number of anti oxidants.


Adopting a healthy life style, getting adequate sleep, exercise, keeping the skin moisturized and eating right is the key to keeping young and beautiful. Rather than relying on a single anti wrinkle diet, the best advice is to eat lots of vegetables, fruits and less of red meat. In the end, developing wrinkles like most things in life has more to do with luck than anything else.
