11 foods for younger skin

Prevention Magazine recently published this article on 11 foods that promote younger looking skin. They include: romaine lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, apples, soy, eggs, almonds, walnuts, cocoa made from dark chocolate, extra-virgin olive oil, and whole gains. I regularly eat most of these foods with the exception of soy and walnuts.

My skepticism of soy stems from the phytoestrogens, but this article details even more reasons not to include soy in your diet, namely that 90% of U.S. soy is GMO. So I will probably not start eating more soy than the occasional stir-fry or tempeh. But walnuts seem to have a much more positive influence on health. In addition to Omega-3, walnuts contain melatonin, a hormone needed to regulate sleep.
