What if one habit could replace expensive creams and injections?
Scientists from Harvard conducted an experiment: 100 participants aged 40-55 years ate blueberries daily.
After 8 weeks, 78% of them saw a 23% reduction in wrinkle depth and a 15% lightening of pigment spots.
Dr. Sarah Mitchell , the study's author, explained to The New York Times : "The anthocyanins in the berries block enzymes that break down elastin and neutralize free radicals."
But not all berries are equally beneficial.
The key is wild blueberries, which contain 4 times more antioxidants than cultivated ones.
Actress Julianne Moore confessed on the Goop podcast: "I eat a handful of frozen blueberries for breakfast. It's my secret to fighting age spots."
Canadian farmer Jacob Rayner , whose family has been growing organic berries for 50 years, said: “Customers write that after a month their skin glows like they were 25. Berries from Alaska are especially popular – they are hand-picked to preserve their beneficial properties.”
But be careful: store-bought smoothie mixes often contain sugar, which negates the benefits.
Nutritionist Anna Belova advised in an interview with Women's Health : "Choose fresh or frozen berries without additives. Add them to Greek yogurt or oatmeal - this will enhance the effect."
For example, user Ekaterina from Kazan shared a recipe: “I mix blueberries, spinach and chia seeds – my skin became elastic, like after a course of mesotherapy.”
And remember: nature has already created the perfect anti-age remedy. All you have to do is make it part of your diet.
