Foods for Great Skin

on



We all want healthy and beautiful skin. Here are some food choices that can help you to achieve that goal.




1. Low fat yogurt
Low fat dairy products are full of vitamin A. This essential vitamin does wonders for our skin. If you have a thyroid problem or diabetes that’s another reason for you to stock up on organic low fat yogurts!

 




2. Berries
Plums, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. These berries have a great antioxidant capacity which means - the more of these we have, the longer our skin will look youthful and healthy!
 
 


3. Salmon
Our skin needs essential fatty acids. If fish isn’t your thing, try walnuts, flax seed or canola oil. All these will give you an amazing result! Omega 3 and Omega 6 may sound like a Sci-fi flick, but these fatty acids are a must for a beautiful, well moisturized skin.


4. Green tea
This drink contains polyphenols which have anti-inflammatory characteristics. And despite what they say, a good tea will not dehydrate your body, it will only work as an anti-oxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent that’ll keep bacteria at bay and will fight off those free radicals that make our skin age early.




5. Water
Good hydration  is vitally important. We are talking about good bottled or filtered water in its purest form and not sodas or energy drinks. So ensure that you’re getting at least 8 glasses of water a day for your beautiful skin.




6. Avocados
Avocado is rich in B-complex vitamins and essential oils and works like an anti-inflammatory agent. It also soothes skin that is red, irritated or blotchy.







7. Mangoes
Mangoes have lots of vitamin A! This fruit will repair your skin cells so that your skin doesn’t look flaky. It has only 70 calories per serving so it’s ideal for your weight loss program as well.


8. Almonds
Vitamin E helps to moisturize your skin from within. It also protects your skin from damage and premature aging. Eating almonds can help your facial tissue stay in its best shape for years!








9. Cottage cheese
Apart from calcium, cottage cheese is great for selenium and it’s an essential mineral for youthful, glowing skin
