FOODS FOR HEALTHIER SKIN!

We are what we eat. It won’t be wrong to state that our nutrition reflects in the health of our body, If we eat healthy, we look healthy, if we don’t, we are actually reflecting that in the form of an unhealthy body.

The foods we eat get processed in our body and then provide us with the nutrients that they contain. If the nutrients are good for us, we will lead a healthy and active life. We often see people who have dull and lifeless skin. Although they are in their 20’s, they seem to be a few years older than their actual age. This is because one of the main parts of our body that gets damaged by eating unhealthy, is the skin.


When you are malnourished, or polluting your body with all the non vital nutrients, your skin gets affected the most. So to look beautiful and youthful, incorporate the following foods into your diet!

DARK CHOCOLATE:

Dark chocolates with at least 70% Cocoa is the best for this purpose. Just incorporating a few pieces in your daily diet, helps your skin to become glowing in no time. Cocoa also hydrates the skin and reduces roughness and scaliness.

TOMATOES:

YOGURT:

Not only is yogurt an excellent source of vitamin D and Calcium, but also is a rich source of dairy proteins which helps the skin to become firmer and reduces the risk of wrinkles. So eating a serving of yogurt daily can act as a natural anti aging system too!

OATMEAL:

Raised blood sugar levels release the hormone Androgen in the body which causes the wrinkling of the skin. Oatmeal take a longer time to breakdown in your body than any other cereal, which is good because it keeps the blood sugar stable, hence acting as a defence system against wrinkles.

GREEN TEA:

Infact it is proven that a pimple on your skin is a sign that you need to increase your water intake. It improves the skin’s turgor making it plump and reducing the risk of wrinkles.

SOY:

Soy is proven to improve uneven skin tones, rendering a clear complexion. It also contains Aglycone, an Isoflavone, which improves the skin’s elasticity and help skin’s collagen from breaking down, thus reducing sagging and lines.

BELL PEPPERS:

One of the earliest signs of aging are the wrinkles around the eyes commonly known as “crow’s feet”. Eating bell peppers may reduce the appearing of these wrinkles for a long time.

SUNFLOWER SEEDS:

Vitamin E is one of the most essential vitamins for skin, and the fact the sunflower seeds are loaded with it, makes them a perfect skin friendly food. It leaves the skin pimple free by enhancing immune function that allows the body to fight off inflammation that leads to acne.
