What You Put on Your Plate is Even More Important Than What You Put on Your Skin!




Want better looking more healthy skin? Reading Foods for Healthy Skin: You Are What You Eat has informed me of great ways of improving your skin, just from what you eat. In fact, one of the best ways to get healthy skin is to get plenty of Vitamin A. This can usually found in low-fat dairy products. Nutrition expert, Liz Lipinski, PHD stated that "Anything that helps keep digestion normal, any live bacteria or enzymes, is also going to be reflected in healthy-looking skin." Experts also stated that the mineral selenium plays a key role for health in skin cells. This mineral can be found in such foods such as whole wheat bread, muffins, cereals, turkey, tuna, and brazil nuts.
Researchers stated in the article that when more whole-grains are consumed, their leaves less room for the "white" foods which aren't as healthy for your skin. This includes such food as bread, white rice, cake, and pasta. These often affect insulin levels, causing inflammation that may be linked to skin break outs. Better looking skin also comes from eating plenty of blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and plums. These fruits help your skin from being damaged and guard against premature aging. They will help keep your skin to look young for longer periods of time! To get healthier looking skin that will last a longer time, stick to eating these types of foods!
