Beauty-Boosting Foods for Your Skin

The same nutrients that create clear skin can keep your arteries clear, ward off cancer, and prevent diabetes! 

Blueberries

• Antioxidants
• Pigments that give blueberries their color are anti-inflammatories that shield cells from damaging free radicals created by excessive sun exposure, stress, and environmental toxins 
• Substitute with blackberries, red or purple grapes, or raspberries, for the same benefits

Citrus

• Shields skin from stress (internal and external)
• Protects cells from age spots, wrinkles, sagging skin 
• Vitamin C is building block for collagen
• 2-3 servings of Vitamin C per day 
• D-limonene is another nutrient found in the skin of citrus; people who eat citrus peel at least once per week have less incidence of skin cancer. 

Dark, Leafy Greens

• Spinach, collards, kale, and similar greens help turn back time on aging skin
• Lutein increases hydration and elasticity 

Salmon

• Wild salmon is rich in two essential fatty acids: DHA and EPA
• Compounds help keep cells flexible, allowing them to function better
• Calm inflammation that causes aging and problem skin
• Diet rich in fish helps protect skin against sun damage, and helps heal skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis

Shrimp

• Loaded with astaxanthin, which is estimated to have 10 times the antioxidant power of beta-carotene
• Helps prevent wrinkles and age spots

Sweet Potatoes

• Increases skin’s resistance to UV damage 
• Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body 

Tomatoes

• Provide lycopene, which also safeguards skin
• Encourages collagen production and acts as natural low-potency sunscreen
• For optimal absorption, tomatoes need to be cooked and consumed with fat (like olive oil)
