As we
change seasons, you may notice that your skin is a little worse for wear, and
it is important to find ways to help your skin recover. One easy and great way
to support your skin’s recuperation and rejuvenation is through diet. If you
increase your intake of vitamins, antioxidants and omega 3’s your skin will
definitely thank you!
Vitamins A
and C aid in recovery, boost the skin’s immune system and bring out the healthy
glow that everyone desires. Two foods that are relatively easy to bring into
your diet and support your skin are kiwifruit and sweet potatoes. Kiwi fruit is
so high in vitamin C that you will get your daily needs met with one serve.
Sweet potato is also a great source of vitamin C and more importantly contain
more vitamin A than just about any other vegetable. Although vitamins will help
to kick-off the skin recovery process, antioxidants will take it to the next
level.
Antioxidants
protect the skin from sun damage and aid in its recovery, and with seasonal
changes these can easily become depleted. Boosting your antioxidant levels back
up will improve skin health and also help to protect it from further damage.
Green tea contains plenty of antioxidants and is a great way to help your skin
recover, with minimal effort. A single cup of green tea daily will see you
meeting your antioxidant needs. If tea isn’t your thing then eating cherries is
a wonderful and tasty alternative. Either way, increasing your antioxidant
levels is vital to overall skin health.
Another
fundamental element of skin health is to do with the consumption of omega 3
fatty acids. These help to regulate oil production and in particular help keep
your skin from becoming scaly or dry, which is a common seasonal skin symptom.
Flaxseeds are incredibly high in omega 3, but some people find it difficult to
bring these into their diet. A great alternative is walnuts, which are very
easy to include in a salad or just eat on their own for a healthy snack. If
nuts are not to your taste, then salmon could provide a great alternative in
meeting your omega 3 requirements.
Regardless
of how your skin is doing at the end of this season, it is important to support
your skin’s recovery and to increase its durability before it faces the
pressures of the next season. The above foods and their associated similar
vitamins, antioxidants and omega 3’s are a great simple way to keep your skin
healthy and strong all year round.
