Eat your way into better skin!

You Are What You Eat

We have all heard the saying haven’t we? Well this time, I am not talking about your calorie intake. I am talking about what you are eating. The food you eat has an impact on your skin. Eat junk food all day and you will notice (whether it is in break outs or some other way). In the same manner, eat the right foods and your skin will look amazing. Here are a few foods to look for next time you go to the super market:

 

Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and plums

These four fruits hold more antioxidants than any other food. Antioxidants reduce the signs of aging by minimizing wrinkles and preserving the texture of the skin.

 

Salmon, Walnuts and Flax Seed

These three foods have a good source of fatty acids. Fatty acids are responsible for healthy cell membranes. Your cell membranes are supposed to keep the harmful stuff out and hold the good stuff out and hold the good stuff in. So, if your cell membranes are not healthy they won’t be able to keep the good stuff in. Like, moisture which keeps your skin looking plump and young.

So, if you need a motivation to eat healthier this New Year, just remember eating right doesn't only help control your weight, but keeps yourself looking young and vibrant!
