Did you know that skin is the biggest organ of the human body? Well now that you do know that, just imagine how your lifestyle choices would affect the biggest organ of your body. A bad diet can have a devastating impact on your metabolism and can damage your organs. This includes your skin. Ongoing research has proven the effect your diet has on the health or your skin and the aging process. It is true that nothing can stop your skin from aging, but you can always slow down the aging process by taking care of your body and skin.
A diet, which contains processed foods or foods high in sugar and fat can be the leading cause of skin issues, such as, dryness, acne, and dark circles under the eyes. Your skin can appear to be dull and loose overtime. Consuming certain foods may very well be the reason why you look older than your actual age. Foods like potato chips, microwavable dinners, energy drinks, and hotdogs are just some of the aging foods that you will need to avoid to successfully gain control over the aging process of your body and skin.
Just like specific foods can damage your skin, there are foods that can help your skin look as fresh and youthful as ever. Integrating these foods into your diet will not only help your skin look better, but it will also have you feeling good from the inside! Author and licensed esthetician, Mary Milionis discusses healthy eating for glowing skin in her latest book, Look Younger Than Your Age and Live a Healthy Life. Over the course of more then 40 years that Milionis has spent in the skincare industry, she has treated hundreds of clients for different skin issues.
Back to foods that should be included in your diet on a daily basis so your skin can get that dream glow without the use of foundations, concealers, and those expensive products. Here is a list of some of the most effective foods, recommended by dermatologists:
· Cooked tomatoes, because of the antioxidant lycopene found in high levels. Lycopene works to improve your skin’s natural SPF.
· Fatty fish (salmon; herring; mackerel) contains omega-3 fatty acids that helps maintain your skin’s health.
· Green tea, with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is great for treating acne, scars, and dark circles.
· Olive oil is the most effective for achieving a youthful glow on your skin. More than 60 percent of the fat in olive oil is monosaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial for your skin.
