Antioxidant foods promote natural anti-aging and anti-inflammatory reactions. Here's a list of some of the best:

Natural Anti-aging Foods from Dr. Oz:

1) Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas): rich in magnesium that helps lower blood pressure and reduces risk for heart attacks or stroke.
2) Eggs: contain iron, biotin and B12 which strengthen hair. Iron combats anemia which is often an undiagnosed cause of hair loss in women.
3) Pomegranate: pomegranate seeds contain ellagic acid and punic alagin which fight damage from free radicals and preserve skin collagen. The phytonutrients promote healthy skin. Dr. Howard Murad says his research shows it can boost the body's natural sun protection too.
4) Oatmeal: add this to your superfoods list, it contains soluble fiber which reduces LDL, or "bad" cholesterol.
5) Black Currants: promotes healthy vision and contain compound anthocyanosides, which may be helpful for night vision. Rich in vitamin C , 5 times the amount in oranges, making them a powerful immunity booster.
