"No antioxidant is more effective at fighting the aging effects of free radicals." Cheese No wonder rats always look so young. "Cheese is one of the best foods you can eat for your teeth," says Matthew Messina of the American Dental Association spokesman. "It's a good source of calcium, to keep your teeth strong.

Spinach and beans Researchers in Australia, Indonesia and Sweden studied the diets of 400 elderly men and women, and found that those who ate the most leafy green vegetables and beans had the fewest wrinkles. The reason? Spinach and beans are full of compounds that help prevent and repair wear and tear on your skin cells as you get older. Grape juice Besides providing protection from heart attack and stroke, grape juice can also help keep your middle-aged skin from sagging. "Grapes are filled with antioxidant polyphenols that help to keep your skin flexible and elastic," says Swanson. Cheese is an excellent source of calcium
