Skin Diet with simple Food

The food in your kitchen has been just as important for keeping skin soft and smooth.

"Good nutrition is a fundamental building block of healthy skin"

Romaine lettuce:

 The mineral potassium in romaine "gives skin a refreshing boost of nutrients and oxygen by improving circulation,".

Tomatoes

 Eating red helps keep skin from turning red. Volunteers who consumed 5 tablespoons of high-in-lycopene tomato paste daily for 3 months had nearly 25% more protection against sunburn in one study. Even better, the skin had more collagen, which prevents sagging. Another reason to toss an extra tomato into your salad: German scientists report that higher skin levels of this antioxidant correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows.

Strawberries

A cup has up to 130% of the DV of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that boosts production of collagen fibers that help keep skin smooth and firm.

Almonds

 "Eating a handful of almonds every day boosts levels of vitamin E, one of the most important antioxidants for skin health,". You'll get a surge in moisture too--a boon for those prone to dryness.

Walnuts

These nuts are storehouses of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat that's a key component of the lubricating layer that keeps skin moist and supple. A 1/2-ounce serving of walnuts provides 100% of the recommended daily intake of ALA.

Cocoa made with dark chocolate

Women in one study positively glowed after drinking 1/2 cup, thanks to a significant increase in circulation that lasted 2 hours. But a daily cocoa habit may rejuvenate your complexion even more. Women who drank 1/2 cup of cocoa high in flavonoids (as is dark chocolate) every day for 12 weeks in another study had significantly softer, smoother, and better hydrated skin.
