Ever heard that saying? I had a recent request to discuss foods that help keep our skin healthy and glowing and that saying came to mind when thinking of this specific topic. What eat truly does make a difference in our bodies, not only inside, but the outside too! Diets high in fat and white carbs can cause issues with our skin, whereas a balanced diet, focused on bright colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and healthy fats can truly help make our skin glow. Below is a list of the top foods to promote healthy skin:
- Low fat dairy products & yellow/orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots and apricots: foods high in vitamin A promote healthy skin
- Berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc: these foods are full of antioxidants, helping promote healthy skin
- Healthy fats founds in salmon, walnuts, almonds, canola oil, and olive oil: these foods contain essential fatty acids helping make our skin healthy and glowing
- Whole grains: contain selenium, which promotes skin health
- Green Tea & Water: green tea contains anti-inflammatory properties and water helps keep us hydrated.
You may notice many of these foods are on the heart healthy list as well, so not only are you going to have glowing skin, you’ll have a healthy heart!
