Top 10 Beauty Foods

 

Besides that you have to stay healthy, get more fresh air, exercise and apply facial masks, it is also crucial to eat well and get your skin shinning with health. Remember, you look what you eat.

Check out what foods dentitians encourage us to eat to stay beautiful

Wild salmon:

A primo source for omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce skin inflammation, preventing redness, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. It's also potent in antioxidants and vitamins B and D. 

 

Low-fat yogurt:

In one word, calcium. Good for strong bones, nails, and teeth. One cup of plain, low-fat yogurt has more calcium than a glass of skim milk. 

 

Oatmeal: 

This is great for the skin as it provides the entire range of the B vitamins and a lot of calcium. Not only does it make the skin smooth, but it gives your hair a shiny and silky look. 

 

Blueberries: 

Full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that prevent long-term cell damage. 

 

Kiwifruit: 

Another good source of antioxidants, kiwis are also a great source of vitamin C and potassium, all which help prevent wrinkles. 

 

Sweet potatoes:

Chock full of beta-carotene, something the body converts to vitamin A, which keeps skin smooth and is thought to prevent against sun damage. 

 

Spinach:

This nutrient-dense leafy green is a great source of beta-carotene and lutein, which protects the eyes. 

 

Tomatoes: 

Perhaps the only vegetable best eaten processed. Tomatoes are a major source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant also thought to protect against sunburn. 

 

Walnuts: 

A key source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The omega-3s found in walnuts also helps fight against skin ailments like psoriasis and eczema. 

 

Dark chocolate: 

Full of antioxidants and nutrients, cocoa (choose chocolate with at least 60 percent cocoa) increases blood flow to the skin, which in turn boosts hydration, smoothness, and protection against sun exposure.
