Food For Healthy Skin
Have you ever had a sleepless night, full of strange, random dreams interspersed with tossing and turning all throughout the wee hours? Do you remember how your skin and face looked the next morning? We understand. It’s not pretty.
Clear, bright skin is usually a sign of great health—and for a good reason. If you’d like to improve the quality of your skin, look and feel younger, and give your skin a positive, radiant glow, you can—with the foods you eat.
Start at the Beginning
By being healthier on the inside, you can improve your health and looks on the outside with these few easy additions to your diet.
Here are 5 tips for improving the quality, health, and look of your precious skin.
1. Low Fat Dairy Products
Dairy is one of the best places to get calcium, but also one of the best places to get vitamin A—one of the most important parts of good skin care.
If you have a thyroid condition or diabetes, you may not be getting enough vitamin A through your food. “Many people who have these problems can’t convert the beta carotene to vitamin A, which is the form found in many foods that we normally associate with this vitamin, such as carrots,” states Liz Lipski, Ph.D., and nutrition expert.
Lipski claims getting vitamin A through dairy products is one of the purest forms of the vitamin and will do your body a lot of good. Low fat yogurts are a great way to get this vitamin and other live cultures to improve your digestion and skin health.
2. Water
Water is vital for good skin health, and good health overall. Water hydrates your skin, helps your skin cells absorb nutrients and get rid of toxins. Water also helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Not just good for your skin, water also improves blood flow and the circulation of blood to help all of your body’s functions.

3. Fish
Your body and especially your skin need essential fatty acids in order to reduce skin inflammation and keep your skin moisturized. When you’re getting the proper amount of these fatty acids, your skin will have better elasticity and will have less visible wrinkles.
The best way to get these essential fatty acids is through fish like tuna, sardines, salmon, and mackerel, or through nuts. Enjoy these tasty dishes so your body can create better looking skin.
4. Spinach
Spinach is full of nutrients and vitamins such as lutein—which keeps your eyes nice and bright, vitamins A, B, C, and E, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium. These are all vital nutrients for good health, and great-looking skin!
Here’s an idea: create a spinach, salmon, carrot, avocado, and nut salad to get these miracle-working nutrients into your system.
5. Apples
Don’t just keep the doctor away with this healthy snack. Quercetin, an antioxidant in the skin of most apples, helps protect your skin from harmful UVB sun rays. Now you have an extra excuse to enjoy one of these sweet treats whenever you want.
Some of the best varieties of apples for your skin are Golden Delicious, Monroe, and Cortland.
Enjoy being healthy and luxuriate in the bright, wholesome look it gives your skin. Brighten up your skin from the inside out.
