Foods that are Good for your Skin: Part One

It’s common sense that everyone should definitely know, that the better the food you consume, the better you will feel and look. If you only ever eat high processed foods that are absolutely dreadful from a macro-nutrient standpoint, then it will reflect in your body’s composition. In contrast, if you were to eat food that was pure and great for you then it too would reflect in your body’s composition and making you feel and look amazing.

This applies for all levels of your body’s health, including the health of your skin. If you want to have skin that looks amazing and has a healthy glow to it, then you need to start by actually paying attention to the types of food that you are consuming. I have compiled a list below of some of the best foods that you can easily add into your diet to help give you that supple skin that you are after:

1. Water

Dihydrogen Monoxide, better known as water is singlehandedly the greatest thing that you can put into your body. Going beyond it is essential for human life to sustain; it is also amazing for giving you great skin. The more water you drink, the better you will feel, that is a fact. Experts suggest that you aim for 8 glasses a day, but I aim for 10-12 glasses of water each day.

2. Green Tea

Green tea is another liquid that is a must for obtaining great looking skin. I do not advise that you drink this nearly as much as water as it has a lot of caffeine in it, but I would aim for 1 cup a day. You can drink it warm or cold, but you should avoid adding any sugars or artificial sugars to it in order to get the greatest benefit to your skin.

3. Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe, as with all fruit, is amazing at increasing the amount of antioxidants in your body. You’ve probably heard a ton about antioxidants in recent years as they have recently exploded in the health scene. These antioxidants will help repel free radicals that are able to cause damage to your skin and will help keep your skin healthy for years to come.

4. Tomatoes

This is another food that is absolutely rich in antioxidants and will have the similar skin-boosting benefits that cantaloupe will give you.

5. Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, are all three berries that are again, are filled with antioxidants. It doesn’t matter how you eat them; alone, with cereal, etc. they all taste great and are amazing for your skin. If improving your skins appearance wasn’t enough for you, it is also great to know that they have also been shown to improve your brains memory.
