What Should You Eat for Skin Health, Change Your Diet Today

Here are some of the best foods to help you get clearer and healthier skin


Avocados

This doesn't come as a surprise considering all the avocado skin products today, and that's for a good reason. 

 

Avocados contain healthy fats that can help your skin stay flexible and moisturized. Studies show that women with a high intake of healthy fat in avocados have more springy skin. Thanks to avocados' vitamin E and vitamin C content. 


If you eat around 100 grams of serving, this provides 11% of the Daily Value for vitamin C and 14% of the Daily Value for vitamin E. 


Broccoli

As most know, broccoli is jam-packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, and zinc. It also has a compound called sulforaphane, which maintains your collagen levels. Best of all, broccoli has anti-cancer effects. 


Fatty Fish

Why don't you try recipes with mackerel, salmon, and herring? These are all amazing for one's skin. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that can boost your skin health. You will notice that your skin will look supple and moisturized. Remember that a lack of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to dry skin. 


Sweet Potatoes 

Sweet potatoes have beta carotene, which functions as provitamin A that can be converted into vitamin A in the body. This can improve your skin because it acts like a natural sunblock. You may be able to prevent cell death, sunburn, or wrinkled skin. 


Dark Chocolates  

Treat yourself with some dark chocolates today. The effects of cocoa on your skin can be pretty amazing. 


One study showed that 6-12 weeks of consuming cocoa powder could lead to thicker and more hydrated skin. Try eating 20 grams of dark chocolate per day as it helps your skin withstand UV radiation compared to others. 


Green Tea

Instead of drinking soda, you might want to switch to a healthier option. How about a cup of green tea? This can help protect your skin from damage and aging. You can even reduce the redness from sun exposure by up to 25% if you regularly drink green tea. Other benefits include improved elasticity of the skin.
