12 best foods for your skin you probably didn't know - Part 1
--------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Hi, I'm Jane, a facialist. You've probably heard too much about the need to eat healthier to have youthful and healthy skin. But which foods are healthy? What foods are really good for the skin? Here are 12 foods I recommend to my clients on a daily and regular basis:
1. Fatty fish
Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel and herring are great foods for healthy skin. They are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining skin health. Omega-3 fatty acids are needed to help keep skin thick, soft and moisturized. In fact, a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids can cause dry skin.
Fatty fish is also a good source of vitamin E, which helps protect the skin against free radical damage and inflammation.
Finally, fish provides zinc - a mineral important in the healing of acne wounds.
2. Butter
Avocados are a vegetable high in healthy fats. These fats are beneficial for many functions in the body, including skin health. Sufficient intake of these fats is essential to help keep the skin greasy while also moisturizing the skin, resisting UV rays and slowing down the aging process.
In addition, avocado also contains antioxidants vitamin E and C to help prevent skin damage from the sun.
3. Walnuts
Walnuts are a good source of essential fatty acids, which are fats that our bodies cannot synthesize on their own.
In fact, walnuts are also richer than most other nuts in terms of both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation and slow skin aging. Furthermore, walnuts contain other nutrients that your skin needs to function properly and stay healthy.
4. Sunflower seed
Overall, nuts are a great source of nutrients while promoting skin health. Sunflower seeds are a great example of this. About 28 grams of sunflower seeds contain 49% of the recommended daily requirement of vitamin E, 41% for selenium, 14% for zinc and 5.5 grams of protein.
5. Yam
Sweet potatoes are very rich in Beta carotene - a vitamin that helps keep your skin healthy by acting as a natural sunscreen. When consumed, this type of antioxidant is delivered directly to the skin and helps protect skin cells from the sun. This can help prevent sunburn, tanning, and dryness.
6. Red or yellow bell pepper
Like sweet potatoes, bell peppers are an excellent source of beta carotene, which the body can use to convert to vitamin A. This vitamin is needed to make the collagen protein, which keeps skin firm and healthy. strong. A large-scale observational study showed that women who regularly ate bell peppers were able to slow down the skin aging process, reduce darkening, and dry skin more than women who did not regularly eat this fruit.
