For several years the media and public have focused on applying creams, receiving Botox, or having cosmetic surgery to make your skin appear healthier and shinier. Now many people have decided to step back to the food pyramid in order to achieve that healthy glow they have been trying to apply for years.
Researchers have discovered that your diet has a direct effect on the health of your skin. This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering your diet effects most aspects of your appearance, and animals with better diets showed healthier skin than their counterparts in trials. There is now a list of recommended foods for bringing back youth to your skins appearance. Some of these include foods high in:
Better than fish oil the old fashioned way.
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Omega-3
- Omega-6
In addition to these vitamins, you should also eat a lot of zinc rich foods. It is also recommended that you consume around eight glasses of water a day.
It is recommended to focus on eating foods that strengthen the capillaries in the face as a result of producing collagen. These include blueberries, guava, kiwi, oranges, strawberries, broccoli and sweet potatoes. Garlic and onions are ideal for keeping the skin smooth, while sesame seeds and apricots help improve your skin’s tone. B vitamins in beef, eggs, liver, cheese, and marmite are also great for your skin.
It is however, recommended to not smoke and cut down on tea, juice, and coffee consumption. These dietary changes will make your skin glow! Now, you will not glow like a star in the night skin, but you will have a healthier aura around you.
Also, do not expect an overnight miracle as this process can take several weeks to actually show an effect. So why not just go out and spend money on the lotions and creams that provide instant benefits and changes? That is a good question. Eating a lot of healthier foods is not only good for your skin, they are good for your body and mind. It seems like another diet has been developed to show even more benefits to people than the last diet released. It was once believed that there is a pill for everything; now it seems as though there is a diet for everything as well.
