Antioxidant Rich Diet for Healthy Skin

 

We all know that a healthy diet is important to maintaining a youthful appearance. As we age, our skin becomes less elastic and more prone to wrinkles and other signs of aging. A diet high in antioxidants can help combat the effects of free radicals on your skin because it has been shown to reduce inflammation in people with chronic dermatitis, an inflammatory condition common among older adults. In this blog post, we will discuss what you should be eating for healthier looking skin!

Fish are great sources for healthy fats which are essential for healthy looking skin! Fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines or anchovies contain high levels of Omega-DHA. These fish also provide Vitamin A & E that help fight against free radicals - another cause for signs of aging such as wrinkles. Pregnant women need more DHA because it is important during fetal development so they should eat more fatty fish.

Eating healthy Omega-DHA rich foods is important for healthy skin, but it’s also great to supplement with omega oils which are readily available in the market!

Fruits and vegetables contain many antioxidants that can help ward off wrinkles, dark spots or blemishes on your skin. They come from different types of antioxidants such as Vitamin C & E, Beta Carotene (Vitamin A), Lycopene etc., which you can find them in red peppers, kale, pumpkin seeds ,sweet potatoes etc...


Eating a healthy diet will provide you these nutrients plus fiber that helps maintain healthy digestive tract function. It may be difficult to eat all the fruits and veggies at every meal so make sure they are a healthy snack choice!

You are in charge of your skin health and what you eat can assist with nutrients and antioxidants for your skin.
