7 Foods to Eat For Healthy Skin
|
1. Red Grapes
|
Red grapes are known to reduce the effects of your skin aging! However, don't try and cheat the system by substituting red grapes for red wine. Sorry to disappoint, although red wine does have health benefits, it also negatively affects your skin at the same time. It's best to stick to regular berries to improve both your health and your skin. But who's to say you can't also enjoy a glass of red every now and then. We won't tell.

2. Dark Chocolate
|
Calling all chocolate lovers! This one's for you. Although milk chocolate is not great for your skin, you don't have to say goodbye to your beloved snack altogether. Dark Chocolate is known to be a great antioxidant. It can even help to further hydrate your skin! Just be sure to pick one with a high cocoa percentage. The higher the percentage, the less sugar in the chocolate & the better it is for your skin!

3. Soy
|
There is some debate about rather or not soy is good for you. However, it has been said that soy can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hydrate your skin and even improve collagen. This is especially true for our postmenopausal ladies out there. So consider ordering up a dish of edamame to enjoy on your next sushi date with the girls!

4. Broccoli
|
This powerful green veggie works wonders for your skin. It is jam-packed with all of the best nutrients that are vital to the health of your skin: Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Zinc. So scoop up some extra pieces during dinner time for the sake of your skin and keep telling your kids to eat it too!

5. Nuts

Nuts are great for the skin! The best one of all? Sunflower seeds! Sunflower seeds are a great source of Vitamin E, which is an amazing antioxidant for your skin.

6. Avocados
|
Does that even surprise you? For years now we've been hearing about this superfood and we're here to tell you once again....the a stands for amazing for your skin! Avocados have many health benefits including keeping your skin bouncy and moisturized. They're also a great way to get Vitamin E into your diet, which again, is a great antioxidant. So if you'd like to avoid the texture of your skin from slowly feeling like an avocado shell, eat an avocado instead!

7. Salmon

Fish, in general, is great for your skin, but salmon especially is packed FULL of omega-3 fatty acid, which will help maintain the health of your skin! Salmon can also help you achieve glowing skin since it can make your skin more moisturized. Salmon is also a great source of Vitamin E, Zinc, and of course....protein!
