The secret to antiageing isn’t in a bottle with a hefty price tag. Oh no, no, no – giving yourself a youth boost just got a whole lot easier (and cheaper!). Simply making tiny tweaks to your diet, workout and even the shoes you wear can help knock years off. Why not give these tricks a try…

1. DIET Is KEY

Anti-ageing starts on the inside. Tuck into these foods to turn back the clock:

Kiwi – packed full of vitamin C, which is vital for making collagen.

Blueberries – rich in anthocyanins which guard against oxidative stress.

Carrots – contain beta-carotene. This is converted into vitamin A, which is essential for skin repair.

2. POSTURE CAN BRING YOU DOWN

Looking like a certain resident of Notre Dame isn’t going to do you any favours in the anti-ageing stakes. Next time you get up, stand against a wall and notice your stance – including the position of your head, neck, shoulders and back. It will make you aware of your posture, thereby preventing stress on your spine – and stop you from hunching.

3. EXERCISE YOURSELF YOUNG
