Top Foods for Healthy Skin

Indulge in these top foods to get a beautiful glow from within, you’ll feel great and see the results on your skin as well.

Water

Hydration plays a key role in keeping skin cells healthy. It is essential to maintaining your skin’s elasticity and suppleness. Keeping cells hydrated helps cells move nutrients in and toxins out, which helps keep skin clean and clear. We can all drink more water.

Wild Salmon, Walnuts, Olive Oil

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are responsible for skin repair and moisture content. The body cannot produce its own EFAs, they must be obtained through the diet. Fish, walnuts, and olive oil are among the best sources for omega 3 fatty acid. Eating good-quality olive oil helps keep skin lubricated and keeps it looking and feeling healthier overall. Which olive oil is the best for your skin? Those labeled “cold pressed”, “expeller processed”, or “extra virgin” are the least processed forms. As a result, they contain the highest levels of anti-oxidative substances.

Carrots and Yams

Healthy skin is directly dependent on the amount of vitamin A in our diet. Vitamin A acts as an antioxidant to neutralize harmful elements in our skin, helps to prevent wrinkles, resist infection and maintain the skin’s elasticity. One of the best places to get Vitamin A is vegetables that are deep orange in color.

Green Tea

Green tea’s ability to slow down the development of some signs of aging is attributed to its high levels of polyphenols, which have been well-documented for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

I encourage a wholesome clean diet that feels good for you. Foods that are local and in season as much as possible is always a great way to eat year round. Mix it up, there are far too many food options to always eat the same thing daily – Enjoy the variety!
