让人保持年轻的4种食物

Most of the time, when it comes to eating youth-boosting foods, we're talking about what to avoid: steer clear of alcohol (too dehydrating), reduce your sugar intake (could damage your collagen levels), use a little less salt (high sodium levels can lead to water retention and "puffiness").

很多时候，当我们谈论到能使人年轻的食物时，我们通常说的是要避免吃什么：远离酒精（太使人脱水了）、减少糖的摄入（可能会损害你的胶原蛋白量）、少吃点盐（高钠含量会导致水分停滞和虚胖）。

But a much more fun (and delicious) way to sip from the fountain of youth is to actually nibble on a couple of nutrient-packed, antioxidant-heavy foods to keep your skin smooth and your brain buzzing.

但喝到青春之泉更有趣（更美味）的方法实则是多吃些富含营养的高度抗氧化食物，它们能使你的皮肤细腻光滑，让你的大脑处于兴奋状态。

Avocado: Are you surprised, really? Everyone’s favourite fruit does more than just taste incredible smashed on toast with a poached egg; an excellent source of vitamin E, which does a fantastic job of preventing damage to collagen, avocadoes make for better skin and a happier, healthier heart and eyesight, too.

牛油果：你感到吃惊，真的嘛？这是大家都喜欢的水果，不仅仅是放在荷包蛋吐司上尝起来美味，同时它也富含维他命E，维他命E可有效防止胶原蛋白受到损害，牛油果可使皮肤更好，能使人更开心，也能使心脏更健康、视力更好。

Brazil nuts: A fresh-faced complexion has a lot to do with skin elasticity, and Brazil nuts are chock-full of a mineral called selenium, which can help to improve just that.

巴西坚果：年轻的肤色与皮肤的弹性有很大关系，巴西坚果富含叫做硒的矿物质，能够使你的皮肤焕发活力。

As a bonus, selenium can actually reduce your risk of skin cancer while preventing premature aging; grab a 30 g handful each day for a healthy hit.

额外福利：硒实际上可以降低患皮肤癌的风险，同时还能预防提前衰老；想要健康，每天吃30g巴西坚果吧。

Red grapes: Resveratrol is a super antioxidant, which, research suggests, helps to activate a protein that has been linked to health and longevity.

红葡萄：白藜芦醇是极佳的抗氧化剂，研究表明，它能激活与健康长寿有关的蛋白质。

It’s also believed to aid weight loss, by converting “white fat” into “beige fat” – which, we’re just saying, may mean that a glass of wine a night could help you lose weight.

同时，人们也认为白藜芦醇通过将“白色脂肪”转化为“米色脂肪”能有助于减肥，我们的意思是每晚一杯红酒可有助减肥。

Salmon: Just like avocado, there doesn’t seem to be anything salmon can’t do, mainly thanks to essential fatty acids called omega-3s.

三文鱼：和牛油果一样，似乎没有什么是三文鱼不能做的，这主要是由于三文鱼含有叫做欧米茄3的脂肪酸。

These nifty little health bombs improve the skin’s flexibility and protects against wear and tear; a lack of healthy fats like omega-3s can result in dry skin and wrinkles. So eat up!

这种小小的极佳健康炸弹能够提升皮肤的弹性，使皮肤免受疲惫和泪水的侵袭；缺少像欧米茄3的健康脂肪会导致皮肤干燥，产生皱纹。所以吃起来吧！
