Foods That Can Help Your Skin Look Better

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

This is the truth: you could get in the best shape of your life and still have horrible looking skin.

Skin covers our bodies, and if you think about it, that's a lot of space to cover. Thus, anything going wrong inside your body will immediately show on the outside. And figuring out how to make your skin look its best can be quite the challenge.

So without further ado, here are some ultra effective foods for making your skin look great:

1. Tomatoes and watermelon: The key here is the intense red color which indicates high concentrations of lycopene. This substance does a wonderful job at counteracting the negative effects of sun damage because it scoops up oxidized particles. Add some tomatoes and watermelon to your next salad and you are good to go.

2. Seafood: Seafood has selenium which is a very potent anti cancer agent and also staves off the damage the sun can inflict on your skin. The fattier cuts of seafood like salmon and herring have lots of omega 3's which reduce inflammation and redness.

3. Monounsaturated cold pressed oils: The top choice here is olive oil. You see, olive oil will not break down at high temperatures, has lots of anti oxidants and does a great job at keeping skin oily which gives you the youthful glow.

4. Almonds: Why are almonds good for the skin? Because they pack a lot of vitamin E which can help prevent the degradation of elastin. Elastin is a compound that prevents the formation of wrinkles. And wrinkles are a tell tale sign of aged skin.

5. Extremely dark berries: You see, dark berries are more likely to have collagen, a substance that keeps connective tissue nice and healthy. And healthy connective tissue will keep your muscles and skin tight, the perfect recipe for reducing wrinkles.

Now the key here is to start implementing these foods in your diet TODAY. Don't put off acting on this information or you will most likely forget it! - 29882
