Natural beauty is not a project, it’s your lifestyle. 90% of your beauty depends on the food you eat, 9% – on your physical activities, and only 1% – on cosmetics that you apply on your face and body. When it comes to head-to-toe healthy skin, it’s scientifically proven that the foods you put IN your body are more important than the products you put ON it. You can boost your natural healthy glow by including the following foods in your daily menu:

  • Carrots, apricots, and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables
  • Salmon, mackerel and other fatty fish
  • Milk, eggs and oil
  • Spinach and other green leafy vegetables
  • Tomatoes
  • Strawberries and blueberries
  • Beans, peas and lentils
  • Nuts

Why? Because these foods contain the following nutrients:

2. Vitamin A

1. V8 Nutrients for Your Natural Glowitamin A normalizes keratinization.
Keratin is the protein that protects epithelial cells from damage or stress. It is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin, hair and nails.

2. Vitamin D

2. Vitamin D is responsible for enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, and zinc.

3. Vitamin C

3. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that regulates collagen synthesis, forms barrier lipids, regenerates vitamin E, and provides photo protection. The current DV (Daily Value) for vitamin C is 60mg.

4. Vitamin E

4. Vitamin E is a membrane antioxidant that protects against oxidative damage: it stops the production of reactive oxygen species formed when fat undergoes oxidation. The best oil with vitamin E is wheat germ oil: one tablespoon of it holds 100% of your daily vitamin E requirements. Sunflower oil is another excellent option, as it provides over 5mg of the vitamin E, and can easily be used for cooking

5. Vitamin K

5. Vitamin K plays a key role in solving the calcification problems that harden arteries and affect the connective elastin that keeps your skin soft and subtle. Without adequate vitamin K in your diet, calcium can be deposited in your skin’s elastin fibers and harden to cause wrinkles.

 

6. Omega-3 fatty acids

6. Omega-3 fatty acids are among the must-have foods for healthy skin because they are responsible for the health of the cell membrane, which is not only a barrier to harmful things, but also the passageway for nutrients to cross in and waste products to get out

7. Zinc

7. Zinc assists in the proper structure of proteins and cell membranes, improves wound healing, has anti-inflammatory effects, and protects against UV radiation. Dietary zinc helps reduce acne, even as effectively as antibiotics. It makes your skin soft and smooth.

8. Sulfur

8. Sulfur is not a chemical but a naturally occurring mineral. Sulfur is an essential component of all living cells. Disulphides, S–S bonds, confer mechanical strength and insolubility of the protein keratin, found in outer skin and hair.
