Eat Berries and Drink Tea to Age Well
A Natural Way to Stay Strong, Sharp, and Glowing
If you’re looking for a natural way to stay strong, sharp, and glowing as the years go by, it might be as simple as what’s on your plate (and in your cup). Researchers from Edith Cowan University in Australia have found that foods and drinks rich in flavonoids—powerful antioxidants found in plants—can make a big difference in how we age.
What Are Flavonoids and Why Do They Matter?
Flavonoids are plant compounds that fight oxidative stress and inflammation, two of the biggest culprits behind aging. They also support blood vessel health, help maintain skeletal muscle, and protect brain function. In short, they keep us feeling and looking younger, longer.
The study followed more than 80,000 people over 24 years. Women with the highest flavonoid intake had:
- 15% lower risk of frailty
- 12% lower risk of impaired physical function
- 12% lower risk of poor mental health
Men also benefited, particularly when it came to protecting against mental decline.
The Best Flavonoid-Rich Foods and Drinks
The researchers recommend at least three servings a day of flavonoid-packed foods. Here are some easy, delicious ways to get them in:
- Berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- Dark chocolate
- Red wine (in moderation)
- Citrus fruits
- Leafy greens and red cabbage
- Onions
- Tea (green or black)
These colorful foods don’t just protect your health—they also nourish your skin from the inside out. Pair them with clean, organic skincare, and you’ve got a powerful anti-aging routine.
