10 Nutritional Do’s for a Healthy and Glowing Skin
1. Eat fish atleast twice a week. Choose smaller fish varieties and avoid farmed fish.
2. Add healthy oils rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids to your diet and eliminate all processed fats and oils from your meals.
3. Eat more fiber in the form of oatmeal, oat bran, dried beans, peas, carrots, broccoli, artichokes, apples, oranges, grapefruits, and whole grains. You can also add bran flakes to any ground meat or vegetable stew recipe.
4. Cut down on sugar, which speeds up skin aging and contributes to weight gain. Replace sugar with stevia or honey and gradually “teach” your taste buds to enjoy l ess sweet desserts. Replace simple carbs with complex carbs.
5. Eat more fruits and vegetables. They are full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Colorful fruits and vegetables provide more antioxidants than pale-colored ones. Eat at least two different vegetables with lunch and dinner every day.
6. Drink more water, diluted juices, and green tea. Eat lots of water-rich fruits and vegetables, which are a better source of hydration as the water in plant cells is better absorbed by the body.
7. To maintain collagen and elastin levels, consume good-quality protein from organic or ethically farmed meat, oily fish, beans, nuts, legumes, and soy products.
8. Eliminate trans-fats, artificial dyes, synthetic spices, and preservatives from your foods.
9. Use spices, fresh herbs, and garlic generously to add vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your meals.
10. Go organic. If organic dairy, eggs, or meats are not available, choose free- range options.
