Food for skin beauty

Everyone knows that the beauty of the skin depends on a person’s health. If you don’t like your skin, for example, its color, dark circles under the eyes, enlarged pores, acne, or vice versa, it is excessively prone to dryness, then some changes in the diet will solve these problems.

Foods that improve the appearance should contribute to the hydration, nutrition and protection of the skin. To prevent the appearance of wrinkles, it is necessary to maintain a high level of collagen and elastin. Sugar “washes out” collagen from skin cells, and everyone who wants to preserve youth for as long as possible is recommended to consume as little sweets and white flour products as possible.

In winter, after illnesses, or with age, the skin can change its usual appearance and become drier: it lacks moisture. The need to drink at least one and a half liters of water every day is a myth. The whole body, not just the skin, needs water to accelerate the removal of accumulated harmful substances. Make a new habit for yourself – when you work, put a bottle of water on the table and drink from it from time to time. Not only your skin, but also your brain will thank you for this.

We have considered what to drink and in what quantity, now let’s decide what to eat. The main thing is to increase the consumption of vegetables in your daily diet, for example, carrots, onions, lettuce, garlic, eggplant, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower and white cabbage; spinach, asparagus, bell pepper, radish, beetroot are also useful. It is especially important to eat green vegetables regularly: try making a side dish of sauteed spinach. Maybe not immediately, but later you will like such a dish; the main thing is that such food is many times more useful than ordinary potatoes.

Everyone likes fruit: make it a new habit, instead of a huge vase of candy, put a dish full of fruits and nuts in a prominent place. Also, try not to deny yourself fresh berries, even if they are quite expensive in supermarkets: cottage cheese with aromatic berries and maple syrup or honey is a great breakfast, much healthier than the usual cheesecakes. Love high-quality olive oil and prepare salads with sauces based on it. Increase your fish intake, but try to choose fatty varieties such as salmon, sardines, trout, mackerel, herring, etc.

Try to consume milk and dairy products regularly. By the way, yogurt is considered the most useful product for women: so you should drink and eat it to become more beautiful. Just try to choose quality products to improve the condition of the skin, improve the health of the body and not gain weight.

Also, regularly consume whole grain products: rye bread, unpolished, coarse cereals, pasta. If you like to cook pastries, try not to use white flour, but whole grain flour, which, although unusual in taste, is the most useful.

But remember, if you have skin diseases, for example, acne or psoriasis, then in addition to following a healthy diet, you need to take drugs to treat these diseases, for example, Adapen Gel (for acne) or Betnovate (for psoriasis).
