Kate Middleton’s favourite anti-ageing snack costs just 53p, can be found in Asda & also helps boost sleep
KATE Middleton is always putting one leg forward when it comes to her fashion choices.
And much like the clothes she wears, the mum-of-three takes pride in how she looks after her skin.
The Princess, 41, spends a lot of her time in the spotlight under the watchful eye of the public, and it always leaves many wondering how she maintains her youthful complexion.
The mum-of-three appears to have barely aged and it’s down to her great skincare techniques and one of her favourite anti-ageing snacks.
Kate, who takes pride in opting for healthy choices, has been candid about her love for nutritious, healthy foods that do all the good to her body.
And experts have proven that it is a fact that foods can help reduce the signs of ageing by providing protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
One superfood of which Kate is a fan is goji berries.
Back in 2018, the princess visited children at Great Ormond Street Hospital and revealed her love for certain superfoods.
Kate said she loved healthy snacks such as raw fruit and vegetables like goji berries, as well as saying: “I used to eat lots and lots of olives when I was little as well.”
A 100g pack of the tasty goji berries can be bought from Asda for £1.60, making it around 56p a portion.
They are known for their sweet and sour taste, and can be a great alternative for those who want to give up on sweets, but still want a chewy snack.
They are packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids – and are beneficial for anti-ageing.
Experts have revealed that they are especially good for vision and eyes, by filtering out harmful blue lights.
Scientists also found that regular consumption for middle-aged women could decrease the risk of age-related macular degeneration and improve sleep, according to a study conducted in 2021.
These berries are also rich in iron, a vital mineral for red blood cell production.
But experts do warn against too much consumption, as they are dried fruit and so it’s crucial for those with blood sugars issues to be aware of their intake.
I call it a ‘royal wave’, but it just looks like you’ve got that real deep wave in the hair. It’s beautiful

Not only are the berries Kate’s anti-ageing trick but the olives are too.
Experts believe that olives are considered anti-aging because they contain antioxidants and fatty acids.
These nutrients can protect skin from UV radiation and help slow down the ageing process.
And when it comes to her luscious locks, there is never a hair out of place.
According to a hairstylist Kate has ditched her signature Chelsea blow-dry in favour of a chic “Hollywood wave”.
Tim Pike, who has done Lily James’ hair, told Hello!: “Essentially, Kate has upgraded the style known as the ‘Hollywood wave’.
“To achieve this, you would use either a smoothing cream or a nice blow dry spray.
“Blow dry your hair smooth, then using a large barrel wand, twist the hair round the tool, taking slightly thicker sections as you work. Once this is done, gently brush it out.
“The way that Kate’s done it slightly different; she’s parted her hair at the back and then pushed it forward, so it looks like you’ve got that real, I call it a ‘royal wave’, but it just looks like you’ve got that real deep wave in the hair. It’s beautiful.”
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
