Everyone is going to get older no matter what, but there are ways that you can slow the aging process and its effect on your skin and hair.
If you can commit to eating healthier or greater amounts of certain food, you may be ahead of the game on giving your complexion a youthful boost.
The old saying “You are what you eat” is the notion that in order to be fit and healthy you need to eat nutritious food. Experts say that a person’s skin is a reflection of their overall health.
That being said, whatever you eat that is beneficial for your overall health is also beneficial for your skin. If you can be healthy on the inside, it will make you healthy on the outside as well—that includes your skin.
It is important to address the underlying deficiencies that are often the root of the problem. The Nova Vita Wellness Centers Beauty drip is a nutrient-dense cocktail that promotes healthy hair and nail growth, skin hydration, and collagen formation. The body absorbs all of these rich nutrients, resulting in superior hair, nail strength, and healthy, unblemished skin.
There are also a variety of foods that experts recommend in order to help protect, firm and nourish your skin:
Antioxidants Are Awesome:
Chemical reactions are constantly taking place in the body. While many of these processes are beneficial to our health and wellbeing, there are byproducts called free radicals that can hurt our cells. A free radical occurs when an atom, molecule or ion has an unpaired electron. Fortunately, antioxidants such as Glutathione have an electron that can be given to the free radical to stop the damage:
- Cruciferous vegetables including broccoli and cauliflower
- Carrots
- Cabbage
- Spinach
- Eggs
- Legumes
- Walnuts and almonds
- Garlic
- Onions
- Flax seed
- Whey
Polyphenols are another category of powerful antioxidants that can be found in a variety of foods:
- Tea and coffee
- Red wine
- Dark Chocolate
Vitamin C is for Victory:
Some fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants as well as healthy amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, which can fight wrinkles.
Best food choices for better skin that include vitamin C:
- Fruits: Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, strawberries, Kiwi, watermelon, cantaloupe, mango
- Bell peppers: Pick a color, any color; red, orange, yellow, or green: they all work.
- Spinach, Cabbage, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts: They make an easy side dish with a powerful punch.
