Foods that are Good for your Skin: Part Three

This is the third entry to the series on Foods that are Good for your Skin, they all have given you a few items of food that are needed in your diet in order to help you achieve great skin. This article will do the same as the previous two, but it will have completely different foods.

1. Dairy

Dairy products are a great source of vitamin D, A, and calcium. Each one of those nutrients is a necessity in order to achieve the great skin that you are after. Many pseudo experts advise that you only consume “low fat” dairy products, but following their directions are sure to mislead you. You have to consume fat in order to be able to digest the vitamin, that’s basic physiology folks. Also when a food, such as dairy, is converted from its regular amount of fat to low fat, it has a ton of sugar and carbohydrates added to it in order to replace the fat. But that’s something you’ll never hear about because that could destroy the diet industry, which is currently brining home 40 billion dollars each year.

2. Omega 3

Omega3 has become all the hype as of late. It is a “good” fat that has exploded onto the mainstream and completely goes against the 80’s propaganda that fat is bad. omegas 3’s are great at reducing inflammation which is great for the skin. You can find omega 3 in virtually all fish, but if fish isn’t your thing, then be sure to check out omega 3 fish oil capsules at your local grocery store.

3. Fish Oil

I mentioned fish oil in the section above this and mentioned how it was an alternative to eating fish. Fish oil is a must have in your arsenal if you want to have great skin.

4. Nuts

Walnuts are an additional source of essential fatty acids that are provided with fish and fish oil. The only difference is that nuts are packed with omega 6’s while fish is filled with omega 3’s, both of these fats are essential to the body. Make sure to remember that peanuts are not a nut, they are a legume!

5. Grapefruit

Grapefruit, like all other fruit is full of antioxidants and also vitamin C. Both of those are essential for great skin as one fights off antioxidants and the other is great for delaying wrinkles.

This was yet again another short list that showed you what foods are good for your skin and that are a must to be included into your diet.
