Free radicals affect the skin and can causing aging. Free radicals come from the sun, stress, pollution, and the everyday elements around you.
Fighting free radicals can be done through antioxidants!
I have talked about applying topical antioxidants in a post about vitamin C in the past. Eating your antioxidant can greatly benefit your skin, perhaps even more than topically, but most skin needs help from the outside as well. Helping your skin from the inside does work though. The degree that it helps varies from person to person, but a healthy diet is important for your over all well being and your skin. 
Berries contain some of the most antioxidants. Summertime is the perfect time to eat up all those wonderful fresh berries. Blueberries, grapes, cherries, pomegranates, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and even raisins all have an excellent amount of antioxidants. Raisins have as much antioxidants as glass of white wine, but not red.
Go ahead and have that red glass of wine at dinner, not only is it good for your heart, but it is full of antioxidants for your skin! We all know that green tea is an also an excellent source of antioxidants and one should enjoy several glasses a day! I have trouble drinking more than one glass of green tea and only during wintertime. I just love the taste of coffee. Well, coffee can be good for the skin too, because it has cancer fighting elements, helps the liver, and it also has antioxidants.
Only drink one cup of coffee a day though, too much and it can have negative affects. When drinking caffeine, remember to have a cup of water for every caffeine cup to stay hydrated!
Have a great night everybody! Enjoy some super dark chocolate for dessert, a small square a night can provide more antioxidants as well! Plus it is an excuse to have dessert every night!
