The fool-proof trick to age gracefully is to simply love your age and body under all circumstances. However, greying hair, sagging skin and health issues make the everyday task of getting ready seem like an uphill journey. To top it all, our junk food choices aren’t exactly supporting our cause. There is a world of difference that can be brought about if we simply start eating right, rather than spending our hard-earned money on skincare procedures later. Read on for an exclusive list of natural anti-ageing foods that can work wonders.

Papaya

Papain, an enzyme found in this delicious fruit, has the potential to improve skin elasticity, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Papain is also amongst the key ingredients found in a host of exfoliating products, as it works wonders in helping your body shed off the dead skin cells, which leaves you with youthful, glowing skin.

Sesame Seeds

More often than not, ageing comes with the baggage of aching bones and muscles, which slows you down a great deal. Consuming foods that are rich in minerals, and supplementing it with an active lifestyle, can go a long way. Sesame seeds are high in calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and fibre. Including it in your daily diet can help you maintain healthy bones for life.

Lemon

Limes and lemons are rich in Vitamin C which plays a critical role in ensuring optimal genetic health and wellbeing. It helps in giving you clear, young-looking skin with significantly fewer fine lines and wrinkles. Just drop in a couple of slices in your daily drinking water to tap into its benefits.

Olives

Olives are rich resources of polyphenols and phytonutrients that are crucial for protecting your DNA which, in turn, translates into looking and feeling younger than your actual age. However, it pays to steer clear from the canned variety and stock up on the fresh produce to ensure that you are not missing out on any of the vital nutrients.

Lentils

Greying of hair and balding can be a major concern. The humble beans and lentils in our pantry are blessed with an abundance of vitamin B9 that holds the power to prevent both, grey hair and bald patches for men and women. Also, they serve as excellent sources of proteins, which will give your body a boost of energy the natural way.

Dr Arun (#askdrarun), co-founder of Pure Cure + Co., emphasises, “Looking to Ayurvedic formulas can provide you with holistic approaches to safeguard your body against the signs of ageing. It not only works at the surface giving you wrinkle-free smooth skin, but also enhances your immunity and works towards reducing muscle and joint pains, ensuring that you look and feel the best at any given age.” Anti Age from Pure Cure + Co. taps into the goodness of Jeevaniya Gana Kashayam, a concentrated herbal preparation that holds multiple health benefits.
