How to Choose Foods Making Skin Nails and Hair Beautiful
Making Skin, Nails, and Hair Beautiful
1
Focus on colorful produce. Fruits and vegetables in red and orange can help keep your skin beautiful. Try orange and yellow bell peppers, carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes, and yellow squash, for instance. They are high in antioxidants, protecting you against the effects of age.
Tomatoes and blueberries are also high in antioxidants.
Some of these foods, such as carrots and sweet potatoes, also contain vitamin A, which can also keep your skin healthy and beautiful. Other good sources of vitamin A include lean meats and dairy products
2
Eat your leafy greens. Leafy green vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, spinach, or collard greens, should be a regular part of your diet anyway, because they are nutritious on so many levels. But they are also great for your skin, given the amount of antioxidants they contain. They are also a good source of Vitamin A, iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C. Maintaining appropriate levels of these nutrients will help hair and scalp healthy. B vitamins are important for keeping your skin healthy
3
Make strawberries a part of your diet. Strawberries are high in vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for many bodily functions, and it also helps build up collagen, reducing the chance of wrinkles in your skin.
Try eating 1/2 a cup a day, which provides half of your daily required vitamin C.
Other fruits high in vitamin C include citrus fruits such as grapefruit, oranges, and lemons. Others include Kiwi, mangoes, cantaloupe, and watermelon
4
Add olive oil and other healthy fats to your diet. It is important to include these fats to increase consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. Healthy fats, such as polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, can help keep your skin younger-looking and more supple. Additionally, they are essential to helping your body take in other nutrients, such as vitamin A and E, that help keep your skin healthy.
Some healthy fats include canola oil, olive oil, soybean oil, safflower and sunflower oils. Try cooking with these oils or adding them to salad dressing.
If you'd prefer to eat your fats in solid form, try eating fatty fish such as salmon, or nuts, avocados, and seeds.
Decrease your consumption of omega-6 fatty acids because they compete with omega-3 fatty acids in the body. Examples of these foods include vegetable oils such as corn oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, and walnut oil.
5
Try edamame as a snack. Edamame is a healthy snack, rich in protein. In addition, the isoflavones in it are thought to help preserve collagen, keeping your skin looking young.
You can find edamame at most grocery stores in the freezer sections. You can steam a handful at a time in the microwave for a quick afternoon snack.
Remember, you don't eat the outside shell, just the beans inside, though you can find it already shelled to add to salads.
