A nutritionist has said women over 60 don't have to look old and wrinkly.
She's never had Botox and doesn't look old at all because she has eliminated a single food from her diet.

It means in her sixth decade she has the glowing skin of a woman half her age.
Health-e-Habits Nutrition's (@healthehabitsnutrition) complexion is testament to her skincare approach.
There was little complexity to her regime and involved no invasive beauty procedures.
First, she gave the scientific explanation behind aging skin.
"Our skin comprises of collagen and elastics that are going to keep our skin soft and supple," she said in her post.
The aging process stripped these away, however.
But she figured she had found the secret to eternally youthful skin.
"That's why I take my liquid collagen and apply my cosmetic grade collagen skincare," she said.
There was one food that should be ditched, she insisted, if you wanted to slow down the appearance of age – sugar.
"It's going to speed the aging process up," she wrote.
"It cross-links with elaston, resulting in the breakdown of and loss of elastin.
"And that's where we going to see the sagginess and more wrinkles."
Cakes, cookies, lollies, they were all going to have to go if you wanted a smooth, wrinkle-free complexion.
It was a simple choice: "So you can keep on having sugar and see the aging process speed up.
"Or you can ditch the sugar, drink my liquid collagen, apply my collagen skincare, and have healthy glowing younger skin."
Andrew Nish, MD, of UnityPoint Health backed her theory.
"Skin is composed of collagen and elastin, which make our skin supple and soft," he said.
"Sugar causes cross-linking of collagen, resulting in stiffening and loss of elasticity of our skin."
In conclusion, he wrote: "The more sugar we have, the more our skin starts to suffer."
