Stay Young - Ep 2: Stay Looking Young

How a simply dietary change can reduce wrinkles, improve skin
texture and slow ageing. In this episode Michael reveals how a
daily portion of colourful fruit and vegetables can help retain
skin moisture and boost collagen. Carotenoids are compounds that
give carrots, mangoes and tomatoes their bright red and orange
colour – and they have been shown to boost your skin’s collagen
and moisture, improving wrinkles, skin plumpness and texture. He
speaks to dermatologist Dr Raja Sivamani from the University of
California, Davis, whose research shows that eating a daily
portion of mango could help reverse existing wrinkles and prevent
new ones from forming. And we meet 81-year-old Annette Larkins
from Florida who explains why she thinks her youthful looks are
thanks to her diet consisting mainly of fruits and vegetables.
