As highlighted in an earlier post, we are aging prematurely due to exposure to free radicals in our modern lifestyle. These free radicals in turn causes oxidative stress in our body, leading to early onset of diseases as well. To arrest this phenomena, we will need wholesome foods which are high in antioxidants and phytochemicals. In this post, we will introduce some superfoods which are high in antioxidants and phytochemicals. They will indeed help us to grow younger, by reducing our premature aging.

Cactus also has very strong anti-inflammatory ability and promotes cell repair and renewal. This speeds up wound healing which in turn improves the appearance of scars.
