Eat more avocados...

To look younger. I am a huge advocate of eating avocados for looking younger and having healthier skin, hair and nails. This is one thing I have done over the past 10 to 15 years to attempt to maintain more healthier skin, stronger and fuller hair, and stronger nails. This along with a healthy overall lifestyle I hope to keep me youthful both with my look and my physical activity level as I get older. I also hope this lifestyle will promote a healthier brain as I age.

Does anyone else eat avocados to promote healthier and younger skin?

67, get out of here. I thought you were around my age and one of the younger ones on here. You look great.

I also have been told I look much younger than my age of 50(just turned on February 22nd). Most say I look like I am either in my late 30's or 40. I don't know about the late 30's, I think that is pushing it a bit. šŸ˜„

Welp, it is suppose to help.
 
I've been on a new diet for the last few weeks.....lots of research. Avocado is one of the healthiest foods you can eat..I eat about one a day.

Avocados are a source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help a person feel fuller between meals.

I was raised by my grandmother, she loved avocados ( there was a huge avocado tree in the backyard) that might have influenced her decision to buy the place! I hate avocados! I can handle guacamole, but I wouldn't make it.
I look at least 82, which I am.

yes I believe you, I've always been the same, always looked younger than my age... hated it when I was younger in my 20's and 30's even.. and they wouldn't believe I was old enough for clubs and pubs ( we don't have ID cards here )... but it's a blessing when you're older... :D

I am the same as you. When I was younger I didn't like it one bit. My daughter if she was not so tall looks younger than the almost 17 years old she is and she also eats avocados like her mommy. :) As I have aged I have loved it. When I turn 60 in 10 years if I look 45 to 50 I will be extremely happy.

Guacamole and Chips are great.
 
I love avocados cold with French dressing. Yes, the French dressing cancels out any health benefits from the avocado but frankly I don't care.
I doubt it would matter because avocados in New Jersey are well over $1.00 each most times.
A bit to rich for my blood.
Cilantro is in everything these days. I don't mind as long as I can't taste it.

I like avocados period. As I have said on SF before, I like veggie sandwiches and avocado is almost always between two slices of 100% whole wheat bread.

Don't know about healthier and younger skin.

Fruits or vegetables?
"Avocados are one of the few fruits (yes, technically they're a fruit, not a veggie) that contain healthy unsaturated fats. These fats help lower undesirable LDL cholesterol when eaten in place of saturated fat."
 
I don't eat avocados by themselves but I will eat them on any dish when they are offered in a restaurant or in guacamole.(y)

Collagen Peptides are also supposedly good for the skin and joints. I use 2 scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in my coffee every morning.

I'm happy with how I look at 64, especially since I grew up in Florida and "baked" over the years, but I also believe a big part of it is genetics. My mother still had beautiful skin and nice, plump cheeks when I took this pic. She was 86. (Excuse the food.) Now if I could just figure out how to have that much hair!

Your mom surely is beautiful and a very youthful 86 years old.

You haven't lost the plumpness in your cheeks, that is what is keeping you looking youthful. One of the reasons why fat people suddenly look older when they lose weight.
