Remember when your mother nagged you to eat your veggies? Little did you know, those scary green monsters on your plate would help your skin to age beautifully.
Healthy skin really does start within! One of our body’s most important organs and the outermost defense against attackers, our skin needs as much nutrition as it can get. From broccoli to avocados, salmon to oranges, the list of food that helps maintain healthy skin is quite long. So we’ve rounded up our 5 favorite items for you to add to your daily meals.
1. Broccoli– Yes, the tiny green trees have enough Vitamin C to count for a your daily need. With anti-inflammatory properties and an aid in the digestive system, these little guys will help you both inside and outside! (Roast broccoli with olive oil for a crunchy experience.)
2. Salmon– Even fish haters need to try this top food for healthy skin. The Omega-3 in Salmon is crucial in helping to reduce skin cancer, and also aids in overall heart health. (Marinate salmon in lemon and vinaigrette dressing before baking for a tangy bite.)
3. Avocados– Healthy fat found in avocados makes this yummy item a favorite of ours! Helping to keep skin hydrated and absorb more vitamins, the monounsaturated fat also tastes quite delicious. (Chop avos into pieces and mix with tomatoes for a quick, healthy snack.)
4. Oranges– Another great source of Vitamin C, these bright foods help build your skin’s collagen and longevity. Not to mention they are super easy snacks to bring along anywhere. (Add 3 slices to your water for an extra taste and help aid in hydration.)
5. Dark Chocolate– You heard us! The cocoa found in dark chocolate contains high levels of vitamins and antioxidants, both crucial to maintain healthy skin. Have a piece for dessert tonight on us!
