The 40 Best Age-Erasing Superfoods
By: The editors of Men's Health
The latest science on the muscle-
building, brain-enhancing, wrinkle-
erasing, heart-strengthening,
bone-protecting, immunity-
boosting, and inflammation-
fighting foods you should be
eating every day.
1. Almonds
These energy-rich snacks lower bad
cholesterol, thanks to plant sterols, and
benefit diabetics by lowering blood sugar.
They’re also rich in amino acids, which
bolster testosterone levels and muscle
growth. Almonds are also stuffed with
vitamin E, which helps defend against sun
damage. In a study, volunteers who
consumed 14 milligrams of the vitamin
(about 20 almonds) per day and then were
exposed to UV light burned less than those
who took none. And because vitamin E is
an antioxidant, it also works to keep your
arteries free of dangerous free radicals.
Low levels of vitamin E are also associated
with poor memory performance and cognitive decline, says dietitian Sari Greaves of New York
Presbyterian Hospital–Cornell.
