Eventually, we all get eye wrinkles. It’s not surprising, since the skin around the eyes is considered to be one of the most delicate and most susceptible to damage (along with the skin on the lips). Sure, creams and cosmetic surgery can help, but one other great way to help keep wrinkles at bay is by choosing the right food to eat, because after all, you are what you eat.

Here are 3 of the best foods you can eat to help keep those pesky wrinkles away. Each of the items on the list is high in antioxidants, vitamins and/or fatty acids.

1. Garlic
Garlic is bursting with antioxidants. Antioxidants are essential to prevent the formation of free radicals which cause wrinkles to develop, among other damage. It also acts to detoxify the skin. Since garlic features antibacterial properties as well, eat it raw to take advantage of all of its anti-bacterial benefits.

2. Onion

Equally as stinky is another food that has loads of antioxidants from the high amounts of quercetin and sulfur. Onions help keep the skin wrinkle free by maintaining its suppleness and smoothness. Again, eat them raw to experience their full benefits.

3. Fish

Salmon and other fatty fish are great sources of Omega 3, a vital fatty acid that provides anti-inflammatory properties and prevents the cells from becoming dehydrated.

Other vital foods to help prevent eye wrinkles are those high in Vitamin A and C.
