First , let’s look at the list of foods that are a BIG NO if you are looking to age like fine wine !

Foods that are a big no: for anti aging skin

Refined carbohydrates

These simple carbohydrates may be an easy option for breakfast, but are really not good for your skin if consumed excessively. 

These include

  • Bread
  • Refined flour
  • Sugar ( you do not want to get there)
  • White rice 

Try consuming these in moderation as they may lead to acne breakouts and make you age faster.

High-glycemic foods

These foods are tasty no doubt, but can increase skin inflammation . So, next time you buy  potato chips, or fries, be mindful of the quantity you consume !

Processed foods

Anything that's tinned or comes in a package or box becomes a dangerous enemy for our skin . So BEWARE! All these foods are highly processed with trans fats — often containing cytokines, which are pro-inflammatory and known for making the skin red and blotchy.. 

Now that we know what not to eat , let's look at what to actually eat ( a diet plan for anti-aging ). Let's start with the easiest one , shall we ? 


Nuts

A box of nuts a day can keep our skin problems away !

Nuts like almonds and walnuts( the best food for mature skin ) are powerhouses of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for healthy skin . They give that GLOW to our skin while also promoting anti aging. It is the best available plant-based source of food for mature skin!


All you have to do is , eat them raw, or put them in halwa, pulav, pongal — you name it, and they will taste good anyway. Still better , grind these nuts into chutneys and make them as a yummy protein-based side dish!

Moving on, we have…

Yogurt

With so many flavors coming up , yogurt has a fan following around the world! A simple DAHI made at home is good to go. 

Yogurt is the best source of probiotic food that creates good bacteria in our stomach. (not all bacteria are bad you know ) 

As you age, your bone health reduces . Yogurt promotes anti-aging and reduces  wrinkles and fine lines. This is why people apply dahi masks on their faces to remove dullness. 

Dahi or yogurt can be consumed ‘just like that’! Or, if you want, add some masala to make it buttermilk  — or maybe  a sweet lassi for a sweet tongue . 

Next up, 

Beans

Beans are one of the few tasty yet super healthy vegetables ( a rare combination I know). They are an excellent source of protein, and the best part, beans have high levels of antioxidants that pave the way to anti-aging of the skin. 

Beans are super economical unlike meat, and thus an easy source of diet for mature skin . Lentils , peas, kidney beans and chickpeas are some popular ones used in Indian kitchens. Next time you feel hungry ,cook yourself some dhal  and sabjis using these beans. Trust me, you will feel full easily.  

Pro tip : Kachoris with stuffed chickpeas are a yummy and healthy snack alternative. 

Papaya

Worried about wrinkled skin? Papaya should be a must in  your diet. Papayas are known for their rich vitamins and minerals. Plus, they have great antioxidant properties. What they do is rejuvenate our skin by removing dead skin cells.  They also protect the skin from the UV rays of the sun. Do not miss this fruit while in season, for it is one of the best anti-aging foods for the skin. 

Broccoli

Broccoli has gained tremendous popularity among diet-conscious people due to its rich source of vitamins, minerals and potassium . It helps to lower blood pressure and fight dead skin cells . The best part is that they are low in calories and high in fiber . No wonder they are ranked as the fifth favorite vegetable in the world !

Create some tasty recipes like broccoli soups, salads and broccoli stir fry. 

Bananas

Bananas are one of the most common fruits you can spot in almost every Indian household. Rich in Vitamin A andC, they have high levels of potassium and magnesium too. They promote skin youthfulness and slow the aging process. Next time you see a person aging like fine wine, I can assure you they have eaten more bananas than others!

Banana dishes are easy to make. From cakes to milkshakes, everything's better with bananas isn't it? 

And finally , 

Water

How can we forget water when it comes to the question of healthy skin ? This simple h20 can do magic on the skin in no time. Most of the aging problems we face are due to skin dehydration. To stop this , water is a must in your anti-aging diet. 


A body without water is like a machine without oil , it becomes inefficient.   Add sufficient water to your diet for mature skin, and see how the process speeds up 

Now that we have looked at the various options for creating a diet for mature skin , let’s see a sample diet plan consisting of foods for mature skin.
