Nutrition shines through
Researchers say that there five nutrients all of us need to feed our face, when it comes to beauty from the inside out.
These skin nutrients work inside the body as anti-oxidants, chemicals that can help fight free radicals that build up in the body. It's recommended that people eat 5-9 fruits and vegetables all the time to get all the anti-oxidants in.
The specific five, recommend by a recent summary report in Natural Health include:
1. Vitamin A, found in carrots to reduce sun damage
2. Vitamin B5, found in cauliflower to help in healing
3. Vitamin C, found in oranges to help smooth the skin
4. Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, found in walnuts and sunflower seeds for skin moisture
5. Zinc, found in mushrooms to reduce acne breakouts
For best anti-aging results, eat these with a variety of other foods in moderation.
