"Changing your lifestyle to incorporate exercise and proper nutrition is not easy. But it is definitely a journey with endless rewards that are well worth achieving"
1. Eat your 5 fruits and veg a day!
I hope most of you do already, but the vitamins and minerals in your 5 a day do really help! Try include beta-carotene within the fruits and veg you pick, beta-carotene is great for anti-aging you will find it in sweet potatoes and pumpkin seeds.
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a super antioxidant (antioxidants will help protect the skin against cellular damage caused by free radicals) The foods below contain Vitamin C and will also help produce collagen.
- Sweet potatoes, blackberries, strawberries, oranges, papaya and kiwi (and that is just a few!).
3. Vitamin E
Vitamin E helps against cell damage and helps supports healthy skin growth. Almonds, avocado, hazelnuts and corn oils all contain a good source of Vitamin E.
4. Stop the crash diets!
By gaining and losing weight often will cause your skin to stretch and relax more than necessary also by cutting down on foods you need you will lose essential vitamins and minerals, causing you to age quicker.
5. Selenium
This antioxidant is very powerful, it works along side Vitamin E and C to help your immune system and protect against skin cancer, sun damage and age spots. Try eating Brazil nuts, fish, eggs and broccoli.
6. Water!
Your skin needs to be hydrated in order to stay flexible, keep stocked up on water and herbal teas and avoid smoking and excessive drinking.
7. Zinc!
Zinc will help repair skin damage, try eating fish, shellfish, meat, poultry, wholegrain and nuts.
I hope this will help on your journey to fabulous skin!!
