(Best Syndication) The foods you eat just may have more of an impact on your skin than your mother told you about. According to Dr. Perricone, author of best-selling books “The Wrinkle Cure” and “The Perricone Prescription”, the foods we eat go a long way towards determining how quickly our skin ages.

In fact, more evidence is discovered almost daily to support his suggestions about the ‘Superfoods’ that help reduce wrinkles and signs of skin aging.

Dr. Perricone identifies 10 foods that he believes are not only good for your skin and the health of your skin but will actually erase some of the damage that has already been done to your skin.

He also believes that these foods can prevent many health conditions ranging from obesity to diabetes and countless others in between. By including a good sampling of the following Superfoods in your diet, Dr. Perricone believes that you will not only have younger looking skin but also the ability to fight off many physical illnesses.
