Foods That Can Help Your Skin Look Better

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

This is the truth: you could get in the best shape of your life and still have horrible looking skin.

Skin covers our bodies, and if you think about it, that's a lot of space to cover. Thus, anything going wrong inside your body will immediately show on the outside. And figuring out how to make your skin look its best can be quite the challenge.

So today I am going to reveal some foods that can help you get glowing skin:

1. Red fruits: An intense red color indicates a large amount of lycopene, a compound that does a great job at attacking skin-ruining free radicals. In other words, Lycopene does a good job at staving off sun damage. And tomatoes and watermelon are loaded with it.

2. Salmon: While any seafood has selenium, a compound that is a powerful antioxidant, salmon is loaded with Omega-3's. And omega-3's do an excellent job at decreasing inflammation which prevents redness in your skin.

3. Monounsaturated fat: Your best source here is going to be olive oil. Now olive oil has countless benefits that will really help your skin: it doesn't degrade at high temperatures which makes it a great cooking oil, it's loaded with antioxidants and it will keep your skin soft.

4. Vitamin E: There are lots of sources of vitamin E, almonds, however, pack a powerful punch. A very small amount of almonds has a very large amount of this antioxidant. The great thing about vitamin E is that it prevents wrinkles.

5. Extremely dark berries: You see, dark berries are more likely to have collagen, a substance that keeps connective tissue nice and healthy. And healthy connective tissue will keep your muscles and skin tight, the perfect recipe for reducing wrinkles.

Now I strongly recommend that you avoid paralysis by over analysis-something that plagues way too many people. Instead, start incorporating these foods into your diet as soon as possible and stick with the ones that give you the best results. - 17269
