There has already been a rather in depth look at how watermelon can help with anti-aging, but when you delve a little closer into this topic of various fruits for anti-aging, you will soon realize there are more than a few at your disposal.

According to studies, the following six fruits are said not only to help fight off the major signs of aging, but also to increase energy levels, boost immunity from certain dangerous conditions, and generally make you feel good from the inside-out.

We will start with the humble blueberry. Already considered as somewhat of a “super fruit”, the blueberry helps with conditions such as asthma, where it helps to reduce the inflammation in the airways. On top of that, the fruit promotes good joint health, which is essential for anti-aging, and also contains a whole host of vitamins and minerals; all of which have been said to help the good fight against old age. Bromelain, which promotes good digestion, and vitamin C, which helps with pretty much everything is contained within this small fruit and with such benefits as reducing the effects of arthritis, relieving sinusitis, avoiding trauma swellings, and reducing the symptoms of angina, it could be said to be the ONLY fruit for anti-aging.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” – we all know and love this phrase, and the fact of the matter is for anti-aging, the apple is another powerful fruit. It can help to reduce the risks of prostate cancer, support a healthy immune system, help to fight against lung cancer, and contains a range of things called phytonutrients; all of which are considered to be antioxidants which help to fight against many of the common diseases present in the aging process. An added sprinkle of fiber also helps with digestion.

Cholesterol levels are commonly high with the elderly, which means any fruit that promises to reduce them can only be a plus. The avocado is such a fruit that offers cholesterol-reducing properties, as well as helping to reduce any impact of liver damage, and also lessening the risks of any cancers in the oral area.

As you get older, your mobility can be reduced, which means weight gain is a common problem for those that reach a certain age. The blackberry is another super fruit when it comes to this effect of the aging process, and has been actually said to have appetite suppressing properties, as well as being able to have a positive impact on building bone density. Fat burning is another positive effect to remember with the blackberry, which is also very rich in bioflavonoids.

If all it takes is the addition of certain fruits and vegetables to fight the long fight against aging, it would make sense to have a good review of your diet. Adding an avocado into a summer salad is something that takes just a few minutes to achieve, and when you consider that many of the fruits that we have discussed are very readily available, it makes sense to look at how you can incorporate them into your life.
