Beauty isn’t
about having designer clothes or perfect hair; it’s about being comfortable in
your own skin and being proud of your skin. For some women, this confidence is
hard to maintain when they don’t feel comfortable with their skin. Wrinkles,
crow’s feet, and sagging skin all start at the cellular level. Aging is, in
part, the result of accumulated damage to the molecules that make up our skin
cells. To get your youthful glow back following foods, packed with
antioxidants, essential fatty acids and proteins, into your diet to keep your
cells and skin looking healthy well into your golden years, below are the very
best and inexpensive ways to beautify yourself and wow everyone around you!
Your friends will all wonder what your secrets are!
“To be beautiful is the birth right of every woman."
“To be beautiful is the birth right of every woman."
1. Water
Is essential for life yet most of us don't
drink nearly enough. Water is important for the health of every cell and organ
in the human body, skin included. This can be easily seen in dehydrated
individuals, who tend to have less elastic, more wrinkle prone and dull skin.
By drinking enough water, your skin will transform to be more vibrant, elastic
and healthy all-around.
2. Break Off
Your Relationship With Sugar
If you’re
looking to smooth out your skin and prevent the signs of aging, you need to
break relationship with sugar. Wrinkling and accelerated aging occurs with high
insulin and sugar intake because of an increase in abnormal attachment of sugar
molecules to the collagen (a process called glycation) and an increase in free
radical stress.
3. Get Indulge
With olive Oil & Vegetables
One
interesting study looked at the relationship between foods and wrinkling,
particularly how food can affect skin damage. Researchers and Scientists found
that participants with a higher intake of vegetables, olive oil,
monounsaturated fat and legumes had less skin wrinkling than their counterparts
who consumed milk/milk products, butter, and margarine and sugar products.
Enjoy at least one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil daily, and be sure to
add a little colour to your plate with a wide assortment of seasonal veggies.
4. Fatty Fish
For Fewer Wrinkles
Fresh, wild
salmon is high in essential fatty acids and natural anti-inflammatory compounds
which help to keep our skin smooth and supple. Fish oil has been found to be
effective in reducing wrinkle formation and thinning of the skin by boosting
collagen and elastin levels.
5.
Beautify Your Skin With Berries
Anything
that reduces oxidative stress in the body can also help you turn back the clock
and reduce your risk of various diseases. Strawberries have been proven to help
with just that by improving the antioxidant capacity of blood.
6. Salad With Kale
Kale contains high amounts of antioxidants
that are necessary for skin healthy essentials like iron, lutein and vitamin A.
As a bonus, one cup of kale has only 36 calories and a whopping 5 grams of
fibre.
7. Go Red With Beets
They are a
great source of anthocyanins – a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation
and slows down the ageing process and helps prevent wrinkles. Beetroot is also
good for overall health.
8. Get Blushing
From Carrots
For the
ultimate anti-ageing, wrinkle-fighting boost, add vegetables high in vitamin C
like carrots in your diet which can protect and improve your skin. They are
high in beta carotene which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is one of
the most important nutrients for healthy skin. You can also make these
anti-ageing potions using veggies.
9. Charm Your
Skin With Strawberries
Mashed strawberries mixed with honey,
avocados or yoghurt can bring a healthy radiance to the skin. But you can also
use the juicy red fruit to whiten teeth. Strawberries contain malic acid, a
natural whitening agent.
Finally, once
you make changes to your diet, don't expect an overnight miracle. It takes six
weeks for new skin to emerge up to the surface, so the visible benefits from
dietary changes will take just as long.
(For persistent skin conditions, talk to your
DOCTOR/ PHARMACIST or consider seeing a dermatologist).
