Turn back time: These fruits and veggies reverse signs of aging
Let's not beat around the bush ladies -- aging has its perks, but our looks often isn't one of them. Sure, as you grow older you become a more mature, well-rounded individual with a broader perspective of life (or so we hope). But the thing is, with years of wisdom comes years of grey hair, wrinkles and a million other physical traits we can't help stressing over.
But what can we do about it? Yes, there are creams and serums -- even pills -- but do they really work? We don't actually know until we spend $30 on a bottle of anti-aging eye cream only to find out it didn't change anything besides our bank accounts.
