I'm so crazy interested in why some people seem to start to age quickly and others look like they're 20, even when they have a 25-year-old kid. Like, what the heck is Rachel Zoedoing wrong (besides rocking the 'tox )? Because either she's lying about her age or has the worst skincare routine on the planet, right? Since Ms. Zoe has been fighting the Scary Skinny label for years, it reminds me of a very interesting study out of Monash University in Australia where many elderly subjects offered up their wrinkles in the name of science. Specifically, researchers found that what you're sticking down your gullet is a good predictor of how many wrinkles you have to fight. Maybe the question shouldn't be what Raisinface is doing to her skin, but rather what she's feeding her piehole. Check out the bad news, Diet Coke and cake lovers:
Foods associated with less wrinkling
In the Monash study, less skin wrinkling in the elderly was associated with higher intakes of:
- Total fat
- Mono-unsaturated fat
- Olive oil and olives
- Fish (especially fatty fish, such as sardines)
- Reduced fat milk and milk products, such as yogurt
- Eggs
- Nuts and legumes (especially lima and broad beans)
- Vegetables (especially leafy greens, spinach, eggplant, asparagus, celery, onions, leeks and garlic)
- Whole-grain cereals
- Fruit and fruit products (especially prunes, cherries, apples and jams)
- Tea
- Water
- Zinc (foods which contain zinc include seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts).
