It has been proven through research that what we eat has a direct effect on our complexion and the health of our skin.
Our eating habits impact hormonal balance, which affects the skin in a positive or negative manner.
In short, what you eat is far more important than the beauty products you use to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
Here is a list of 5 foods to help get you on track for glowing skin:
Spinach
Besides providing you with great strength, spinach also plays a role in slowing down the ageing process of your skin. It contains beta-carotene which is a precursor for vitamin A and vitamin A is well known for its anti-aging qualities. It helps to properly moisturize the epidermis which helps prevent wrinkles and the removal of dead cells.
Avocado
Avocado contains vitamins A, D and E, and omega-9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are the building blocks of skin. These nutrients help to keep the tone of the skin even and smooth.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes happen to be the heroes for our skincare regime, as they provide protection against one of the major enemies of our skin. They have a very high content of antioxidants that protect the skin against UV damage and leave it fresh.
Pumpkin Seeds
These little seeds are rich in vitamin C and fatty acids which produce the natural oil of the skin called sebum. This natural oil helps to protect and repair the skin if damaged. Eating pumpkin seeds can help produce glowing, evenly toned skin.
Pineapple
This fruit is a great treat for your skin as it is rich in vitamin C, amino acid, and collagen containing an enzyme, bromelain. This enzyme is known for its softening effect. Collagen helps to support the skin structure and the vitamin C and amino acids help to repair damaged skin. So, adding pineapple to your smoothie can help you to achieve younger looking and glowing skin.
Bonus Tip:
I have found that Salmon Oil (Omega III) is really helpful in healing skin rashes from the inside out.
You’ll notice your skin is moisturized and supple with these tasty foods.
