These six drinks fight aging. See what they are and when to down them.
Water
When to Drink: At the Alarm Guzzle
water, Dr. Lodge suggests. Hydrating will help beat that groggy feeling and
make your skin look its glowy best (both now and later in life), says David E.
Bank, M.D., a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, New York
Coffee
When to Drink: At Breakfast Coffee may help your
heart and (if you take it black) metabolism, and it reduces risk for some types
of cancer, studies show
Green tea
When to Drink: At Lunch Sip tea.
Green kick-starts metabolism and can help fend off breast cancer, says Jonathan
R. Cole, M.D., medical director of the California Health and Longevity
Institute. Black may lower blood pressure, research from the University of
Western Australia suggests.
Hot cocoa
When to Drink: P.M. Snack Hot cocoa (have it over ice
if you can't take the heat) has more antioxidants than does coffee, red wine or
green tea, a study from Cornell University reveals. Great for your heart and
skin.
Red Wine
When to Drink: At Dinner Enjoy a glass of red wine: Piceatannol, a
compound your body makes when you drink vino, could stunt fat-cell growth
(woot!), the Journal of Biological Chemistry reports.
Milk
When to Drink: Before Bed Grab milk—your skeleton will love the calcium,
and your muscles will love the protein. You'll wake up even stronger.
