The secret of youth: 74-year-old woman looks amazingly young

74-year-old American woman who looks significantly younger than her age revealed her secret. It's about chef Babette Davis from Los Angeles, who claims to maintain her youth without cosmetic procedures and expensive skin care products.

As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to Daily Mirror, according to Davis, the key role in her impressive appearance is played by proper nutrition, specifically - regular consumption of watermelons.

The woman shared that in season she enjoys watermelon daily and can often eat a whole fruit on an empty stomach. This juicy delicacy is how she prefers to start her morning, considering such a habit an essential part of her lifestyle.

Watermelons are famous for their high content of lycopene - a powerful antioxidant with pronounced protective properties. This component effectively slows down the destruction of collagen and helps maintain skin elasticity over time. Additional benefits are provided by the high water content, as well as vitamin C, which actively contributes to maintaining healthy and fresh-looking skin.
