A 74-year-old woman who looks much younger than her age revealed her secret

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

According to BAKU.WS with reference to Daily Mirror, Davis says that diet plays a key role in her appearance, specifically - the regular consumption of watermelons.

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

Watermelons are rich in lycopene - a powerful antioxidant with protective properties. It slows down the destruction of collagen and helps maintain skin elasticity with age. Additional benefits are provided by the high water content, as well as vitamin C, which helps maintain healthy and fresh-looking skin.
