4 Ways to Eat and Drink Your Way to Healthy Skin

Food is fuel. We can’t function without it of course, but it can also help your skin’s health. One of the first orders to achieving healthy skin, is nourishing your body from the inside out. Of course, you may have a favorite face cream or scrub that leaves your skin looking radiant, but it’s what you fuel your body with that counts the most. The right balance of foods is key to a glowing complexion.

Eat the Rainbow

Give your skin it’s daily dose of vitamins and nutrients by eating 5-8 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Fruits and vegetables contain powerful antioxidants that help protect your skin against the damages of pollution and sunlight. Red or yellow bell peppers contain high levels of beta carotene which your body converts into vitamin A. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C, necessary for creating collagen, which keeps the skin firm and strong. Tomatoes also contain high levels of vitamin C and lycopene, which are shown to protect the skin against sun damage and wrinkles.  

Stay Hydrated

Just as you would use a moisturizer after cleansing your skin, you should moisturize your skin from the inside as well, so it can stay flexible. Drinking 6-8 glasses of water can give your skin a radiant, healthy glow. Without hydration, your skin will look tired, dry and even grey. If you find it difficult to drink enough water each day, you can try adding cucumbers or lemon to your water, so it will go down easier. Foods such as watermelons and cucumbers naturally hydrate you and also contain minerals that increase the rate your body absorbs water.

Fuel with Fats

Eating foods like avocados, fish, nuts and seeds provide the body with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that act as a natural moisturizer for the skin and improves its elasticity. Fish also contains omega-3 and omega-6 fats that encourage the body to produce anti-inflammatory compounds that have been proven to improve inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Serve up Selenium

Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that is essential in supporting the immune system. A diet rich with selenium can help protect against and prevent sun damage and age spots. Selenium can be found in Brazil nuts, fish, eggs, wheatgerm, tomatoes and broccoli.

A diet rich in macro and micronutrients will help skin retain its natural moisture and elasticity, as well as prevent and protect the skin against damages from wind, sun and other elements.
