6 Drinks that Fight Age

These six drinks fight aging. See what they are and when to down them.

WATER
When to Drink: At the Alarm

Guzzle water. 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.

  1. In this country milk is a good food gone bad. Pasteurization and homogenization literally destroy the quality of milk and make it a negative food. That is not even including the hormones and antibiotics contained in much of our milk. Good milk (raw milk) is outlawed in almost the whole country not because it is unhealthy or risky to drink but because the government loses control of the revenue. It takes a big dairy to afford the cost of the machinery to turn wholesome milk into garbage. The small dairy farmer can't pay that cost so government has run the small dairies out of business.
