Foods that are Good for your Skin: Part Two

In part one of "Foods that are Good for your Skin I discussed the benefits of antioxidants in your diet and their role for fighting off skin damaging free radicals. I also gave you a list of some foods that I’ve found to be amazing for your skin and I recommend them to everyone. Part Two will again give you a short list of more foods that I find to be great for your skin and also great for your health.

1. Plums

Plums again are a fruit that is rich in antioxidants to fight off free radicals. Like I have stated previously, every fruit will be great for your skin, but there are a few that I’ve found to be the best. Plums are one of them, but despite being good for your skin, they’re also good for your body and taste absolutely amazing.

2. Sweet potatoes

This is another vegetable on the list the list that again, is packed with antioxidants. Sweet Potatoes are not the “candied yams” that get served each Thanksgiving; those are packed with sugar and should be eating sparsely, like once every year. It may sound like I am playing antioxidants to death, but they truly are a great nutrient to be consuming.

3. Broccoli

Broccoli is another great vegetable, and in my opinion, the best vegetable on this list. You’ve heard your mother say to “eat your broccoli” when you were younger, well the truth is that she was actually onto something. Broccoli is filled with vitamin A which is definitely a vitamin that many people are low on.

4. Spinach

Spinach is yet another vegetable that has been added to this list. If you can catch the pattern, fruit and vegetables are great for your skin, junk food is not! Spinach is also filled with vitamin A just like Broccoli and has also been found to contain a natural steroid; this great news for any weight lifters that may be reading this article.

5. Carrots

Carrots are again, another vegetable that is packed with vitamin A. If you’re not a fan of green vegetables, which you should be, then these are the way to go.

This was yet again another short list that showed you what foods are good for your skin. Every single food on this list should be included in your arsenal if you are truly trying to get good skin.
