Ten Foods For Perfect Skin

Are you tired of buying expensive cosmetics and trusting advertising slogans that try to convince you in their miracle powers? If for you the time has come to realize that the solution for every problem is not related to the examination of the brochure-this article is right for you.


All these preparations for skin, which irradiated  us from everywhere, can not fully cope with this problem. The reason is that only the external care isn't enough to maintain the great look of the skin-you need a change in your food plan too.

Just as there are a whole bunch of foods that can negatively affect your skin and overall metabolism in the body (will mention only a few packaged as salty and sweet pasta products containing trans fats and / or too much sugar,as well as those with a high glycemic index), there are other with opposite effect-they purify the body and have part in its immunomodulation, while the effect is manifested not only internally but also externally. By consuming these ten food products daily, you'll enjoy a healthy weight, maximum power, good immunity, healthy and strong hair and radiant skin.

Red Pepper

Sweet red peppers are rich in Vit. C, dietary fiber and Vit. B6. Additionally, they contain only 30 calories, making them the ideal vegetable substitute for the so called fast food, which usually is our first choice to fool appetite between meals. One pepper is sufficient to supply more than 100% of the required daily dose Vit. C, as well as the organic pigments carotenoids, which slow down the aging process of the skin (wrinkles), promote skin healing and accelerates blood circulation in it, when suffering from acne.

Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids and flavanols,which are relevant to the turgidity of the skin and flatten its surface. It is very rich in cocoa that has beneficial effects on arteries and accelerates blood circulation, resulting in more robust and secure of negative factors (such as air pollution, UV rays,stress and other) skin. When you buy dark chocolate, check its composition-must have a minimum of 80% cocoa content and no added dairy products or sugar.

Salmon

Salmon is one of the best foods, with which you can successfully counter attack the stress, fatigue and depression that inevitably overtake the modern man. Salmon can also be used as a source of Vit. D, whose regular intake is required for maintaining heart health, bone, colon and brain. Furthermore, it is very rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, whose main benefit is their ability to counteract inflammation of various origins, formation of wrinkles and acne development. Omega-3 fatty acids also promote the hydration of the skin from the inside, resulting in the reinforcement and strengthening of the hair.

Coconut oil

The oil extracted from the coconut is one of the richest sources of saturated fat-about 90% of calories in it. Coconut oil contains the essential fatty acids and lauric acid, which have potent antibacterial and antiviral properties, assisting the body in its fight against virus infections, inflammation and acne. It also consists Vit. E, which has a really good effect for the health and appearance of skin, making it soft, hydrated and smooth. Include coconut oil in your diet. You can take one tablespoon daily. That gives a positive influence in the battle against overweight. You also can use it externally, rubbing it into the skin. Last but not least, coconut oil has a very good effect on thyroid.

Green tea

Instead of drinking too much coffee or store-bought juices, that almost always contain added sugar and preservatives, use at least 2-3 cups of green tea a day-the only source of the amino acid L-theanine, which has a proven effect against stress and is effectively used for nervous disorders and insomnia. When green tea is hot, it releases catechins-antioxidants from the flavonoid group with proven anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Regular consumption of green tea is especially recommended in hypertensive patients as well as people suffering from acne.

It is particularly suitable for people under high stress and physical exercises.  Also will effectively prevent dehydration of your body, skin and  the appearance of wrinkles.

Papaya

Among the useful components are beta-carotene and antioxidant vitamins C and E, due to which the skin suffers less from direct sunlight and have a healthy fresh look.

Carrots

Like papaya, carrots are very rich in beta-carotene, whose greatest merit is to maintain vision, mucous membranes and skin. Moreover, carrots contain a large amount of Vit.
