3 Foods That Can Help You Look Younger, According to Dietitians and Dermatologists

• Avocados: Foods rich in monounsaturated fats and the antioxidant carotenoids may promote younger-looking skin. Carotenoids are natural pigments found in many fruits, vegetables, and fungi and they also function as antioxidants that can minimize damage from free radicals and oxidative stress.

• Tomatoes: Tomatoes are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants that may benefit the skin. Eating tomatoes may also help give the skin a youthful glow. A randomized controlled trial from 2001 found that consuming tomato paste might help make the skin more resistant to sun damage.

• Berries: Berries are known to benefit heart health and reduce the risk of certain cancers, but they might support your summer skin protection. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries contain antioxidants, which preliminary studies show may prevent skin damage and also protect your skin from UV damage and pollutants.

4 Dumbbell Exercises for Back Workouts for Muscle and Strength

• Farmer's Carry: Another classic exercise, and a move that man's been doing since the beginning of time, the farmer's carry has you picking up heavy dumbbells and walking with them, typically either for time or distance. Either way, as you focus on squeezing your shoulder blades and tightening your abs, you build a bigger, stronger back (and a resilient body overall).

• Three-Way Elevated Plank Row: The three-way elevated plank row is all about back muscle subtlety. You won't get to cheat much here, largely because most of your body is completely focused on maintaining solid elevated plank position. That means the "working" arm gets to pile up very focused back squeezes.

• TRX Plank Pause Row: Think of the TRX plank pause row as a devastating challenge; you'll need an extra piece of equipment for it in the TRX. Once you have that, you get to establish an ultra-challenging TRX single-arm plank hold, which will carve your abs and obliques.

• Dumbbell Pullover: This old-school bodybuilding staple allows your to target your lats, but also hits your chest, shoulders, and core.
