Eating Vitamin C-rich May Be the Secret to Smoothing Away Wrinkles

Eating fruits and veggies loaded with vitamin C does more than boost your immunity, it may also offer the added bonus of making you look younger.

A study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating more foods containing higher levels of vitamin C is linked to a reduced risk of having wrinkled skin and age-related skin dryness.

Good sources of vitamin C include cantaloupe, grapefruit, guava, lemons, oranges, papaya, pineapple and strawberries as well as broccoli, dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and red peppers.

So instead of just relying on hope in a bottle to keep those laugh lines at bay, you may want to serve it up with a daily dose of orange juice for breakfast, tomatoes at lunch and leafy greens for dinner.

More Reasons to Eat Chocolate: Reduces Stress and Stroke Risk

My favorite part of Valentine's Day is the excuse to eat chocolate. But who needs an excuse when research continues to come in supporting chocolate as more than a delicious indulgence, but a superfood. The latest studies on chocolate have found that it can calm down emotional stress and lower the risk of having a stroke.

One clinical trial found that volunteers, who felt that they were highly stressed, experienced a reduction in stress hormones and other stress imbalances after eating one and half ounces of dark chocolate daily for two weeks.

Another study found that when 44,489 people ate one serving of chocolate per week they were 22% less likely to have a stroke than people who didn't indulge.

Every chocoholic can eat to those findings!
