Combat Aging with Vitamin A: “Consider a wrinkle eraser that includes retinol, a form of vitamin A, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, fade brown spots and smooth skin tone.”

Sleep Your Way to a Thinner Body: In a 2006 study, it was revealed that women who slept less than seven hours per night are more likely to be obese.

Eat Age-Fighting Foods: “To get that antioxidant boost, eat dark-colored vegetables, like tomatoes, carrots, squash and spinach for carotenoids and blue and purple berries for flavonoids,”
