6. Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes help slow aging mainly because they are rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant. Your body turns beta-carotene into vitamin A, which supports skin health by protecting it from sun damage, keeping it smooth, and reducing wrinkles. Plus, they’re rich in vitamins C and E, which help neutralize damaging free radicals.
Healthy Intake:
To get anti-aging benefits, eating about ½ to 1 cup of cooked sweet potatoes a few times a week is enough. Just avoid adding too much sugar or butter to keep it healthy.
