Nutrition for beautiful skin
Categories: Alternative & Green Health, Nutrition & Supplements
The best way to be beautiful on the outside is to take care of yourself from the inside. I remember my mom telling me to lay off chocolate to avoid break outs. She wasn't too far off target. Here are some nutrition tips to help you maintain radiant, beautiful skin:
- If you have oily skin, you've probably tried every drying toner and scrub on the market, but you can help yourself out by choosing the right foods. Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from your sebaceous glands -- the nose and forehead tend to be prime areas for oily skin. To help balance oily skin, choose foods that are high in B vitamins such as whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Lowering the amount of fat in your diet will also help.
- If your skin is very dry, there's only so much help you can get from moisturizers. Opt for healthy fats in your diet -- monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Good sources include fish, olive oil, almonds, and sunflower seeds. Sulfur -- found in eggs, asparagus, onions, and garlic -- is also beneficial to dry skin.
