Grapes

Grapes contain “powerful antioxidants that can fight free radical damage to the cells in your body”.

According to the expert, onions help thin the blood, raise good cholesterol and are rich in quercetin — a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. “Just like garlic, they have powerful anti-ageing benefits,” she added.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, Mukerjee shared. It is “a remarkable antioxidant which helps protect brain health and has powerful anti-cancer and anti-ageing properties.”

Spinach

Spinach is known to have many health benefits. But, did you know that it has anti-ageing properties, too? “The lutein in spinach has powerful anti-ageing properties and is great for eye health. Spinach is rich in folic acid which is required for DNA repair, which in turn slows down the ageing process,” the nutritionist said.

“It is important to eat vegetables for each and every meal in order to delay the ageing process,” she advised.
