8. Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate can help slow aging by fighting oxidative stress, which damages cells over time. It’s rich in antioxidants, especially flavonoids, which protect your skin and body from harmful free radicals. These antioxidants also improve blood flow and skin hydration, helping your skin look younger.
Servings: For benefits without too much sugar or calories, it’s best to eat about 1 to 2 small squares (20–30 grams) of dark chocolate per day, with at least 70% cocoa.
