Nibble on...Berries
Stocked with antioxidants, these yummy snacks neutralize damaging free radicals, says Paula Simpson, BASc, RNCP. They also help the body manufacture collagen, leaving your skin firm and smooth.
And though all berries have some anti-aging perks, blueberries are soaring in popularity because of the amount of vitamin C and E they contain, says Lisa Drayer MA, RD. These vitamins fight aging by ridding the body of harmful chemicals that have long-term, damaging effects on our organs. We'll be making a blueberry pie this weekend, stat.

Nibble on...Water-Rich Foods
Foods high in water content, such as cucumbers, watermelon, apples, peaches, melons, and celery, are some of the best hydrating solutions for your skin, says Simpson. They keep away wrinkles and therefore keep you looking fresh-faced. Robyn Flipse, MS, RD also recommends hydrating fluids, like green tea or sparkling beverages, to keep the skin moist.

Nibble on...Carrots and Tomatoes
The more colorful the better, says Flipse. These bright veggies are stocked with phytonutrients and antioxidants, both of which protect against damaging free radicals. The beta carotene and lycopene found in them also protect your skin from sun damage and repair skin cells, says Simpson.

Nibble on...Kiwifruit
Eating kiwifruit will not only help maintain clear skin, it will also promote healthy bones. Drayer says one cup peeled kiwifruit contains more vitamin C than the equivalent amount of oranges. Plus, it neutralizes free radicals that could lead to things like cancer and heart disease.

Nibble on...Spinach
Another great (and affordable) vegetable choice. "Spinach has an exceptional lutein content," says Drayer, "which helps keep our eyes healthy and bright." Spinach also has tons of vitamins, including folate (vitamin B9), which aids in the production and maintenance of new cells, including red blood cells.
