“Foods that Make Your Skin Look Amazing!”

Low Fat Dairy

The benefits of consuming low fat dairy products are two fold.
The first thing that is great about dairy products is the fact that they contain a super-charged amount of Vitamin A. Vitamin A reduces the size and secretion of your sebaceous glands. The idea is to reduce the amount of sebum by the sebaceous glands produced, which is a source of nutrients for bacteria. Less bacteria equals smoother looking skin.

The Second benefit you get from Low fat dairy comes in the form of bacteria (which is kind of the flip side of the first benefit). The bacteria which is contained in yogurt and milk, aids in digestion. When your digestive tract is working the way that its supposed to, your going to see a positive effect on your skin.

Favorite Low Fat Dairy Foods- Yogurt, Milk, and Cottage Cheese.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)

Foods that are chock full of EFAs are Salmon, Walnuts, and Flax Seed (there are many more). An essential fatty acid is responsible for cell membrane health. This is important because a cell’s membrane functions (in part) to keep water in. If you have healthy cells that can hold in moisture, your going to have more supple, younger looking skin.

The added bonus of EFAs is their benefit toward your circulatory system (heart and arteries).

Favorite EFA containing Foods- Salmon, Walnuts, Shrimp (boiled)

Berries

More Specifically, Strawberries, Plums, Blueberries, and blackberries. These four berries pack a super high antioxidant punch. Antioxidants help to protect a cell from free radical damage to a cells membrane. The values of protecting your skin cells from free radicals is that you’re going to have healthier, younger looking skin…and it’s going to look that way for alot longer.

Other High Antioxidant Foods- Prunes, Pecans, Beans.

Foods containing Selenium

Selenium is contained in all kinds of foods, but is most prevalent in Brazil Nuts. You can also find selenium in things like tuna, whole-wheat bread, an turkey. There can be too much of a good thing when it comes to selenium however. Ingesting too much selenium can lead to selenium toxicity.

Water

Water is number one in my book. You can do everything else right and not drink enough water and your skin will still look awful (not to mention the other things that won’t work correctly). Getting the right amount of water keeps your skin hydrated, helps move the nutrients that your skin needs around, and it also helps keep your skin clean and clear through proper sweating (You sweat for a reason!)

While the jury is still out on how much water you actually need per day, a good method is to use the formula below.
