Berries help prevent aging and wrinkles

Another study presented this week supports the use of antioxidants in preventing wrinkles and premature aging of the skin. Using a topical application of the antioxidant ellagic acid, found in berries, nuts, pomegranates, researchers at Hallym University in the Republic of Korea markedly prevented collagen destruction and inflammatory response - a major causes of wrinkles -- in both human skin cells and the sensitive skin of hairless mice following continuing exposure to UV-B, the sun's skin-damaging ultraviolet radioactive rays. So continue to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, avoid the sun, apply a high spf sunscreen and use an antioxidant serum.
