Want to have smooth, radiant, firm skin? Then just regularly include 5 delicious foods in your diet and catch the admiring glances of others!
The first place in our list is confidently taken by leafy greens: lettuce, spinach, kale … These products hold the record for the content of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant, which means it protects against negative environmental influences. Why not start actively introducing fresh greens into your daily menu in the summer? Add it to salads, pita rolls; make spinach soups and bake them into pies … And kale will perfectly fit into a fruit and vegetable morning smoothie. Unleash your imagination and you will certainly find your favorite option!
We will give the second place to nuts, which are rich in vitamin E. It is he who provides skin elasticity, strengthening the cell membranes. Also, if your skin has blackhead scars, it can help make them less visible.
I think there are more nut lovers among us than spinach, but, nevertheless, if you do not like to eat them just like that, try making a sauce with them (for example, pesto), add a handful to salad or porridge, use them when baking homemade bread or fry the fish in hazelnut breading. And of course, remember to avoid caramelized and salted nuts.
Are you suffering from oily skin? Eat more oily fish! Salmon, which is so rich in omega-3 fatty acids, is your best friend and companion. This delicious fish also helps in the fight against the first signs of aging and skin inflammation.
Also, mint greens will help to cope with oily skin. Scientists have found that high testosterone levels can be one of the causes of oily skin and acne in girls. Mint helps lower levels of this hormone, so in hot weather it's better to chill with cold mint tea than lemonade or cola.
Oatmeal completes our list. Zinc, which is so rich in this culture, is responsible for the production of collagen, and therefore for the elasticity of the skin. In addition, oatmeal lovers rarely suffer from excessive oily skin and blackheads.
Oatmeal can be used to prepare many delicious dishes, and one of the most delicious and simple ones is homemade granola granola. Toss the oatmeal with honey and butter, add a pinch of salt and chopped nuts and bake in the oven until golden brown for about half an hour, stirring every 5 minutes. For ready-made muesli, add, for example, raisins or dried apricots and - voila! - a wonderful and healthy breakfast for your skin is ready!
