Foods That Make You Beautiful

Instead of chomping on a pizza, why not gorge on blueberries, nuts, and seeds? They are powerhouses of antioxidants. According to the US Department of Agriculture, blueberries possess about 40 per cent more antioxidants than Vitamin C and strawberries. They also boost collagen production in skin.

Tip: Toss a handful of blueberries in your morning smoothie or sprinkle a few over your breakfast cereal. Get power packed for the day.

Want to reduce wrinkles naturally? Munch on a handful of flaxseed or walnuts to get the benefit of linoleic acid in them that keeps the skin firm and moisturized. Sunflower seeds and almonds are rich in Vitamin E, the favorite vitamin of good skin.

Want smooth skin naturally? Eat fresh, raw tomatoes every day. They are loaded with lycopene, an antioxidant responsible for smooth, young skin. It also keeps your heart healthy and averts certain cancers.

Tip: Slice fresh tomatoes and toss them in a salad. You can add cucumbers, beet roots, and carrots to multiply the benefits. Cucumbers soothe the skin, while carrots contain beta-carotene for radiant skin.

Love oils? Then switch to good ones. Olive oil is great for skin and hair health. It is rich in oleic acid, which is a fatty acid that maintains the fluidity of cell membranes and keeps the skin soft and firm. The oil is loaded with polyphenols and Vitamin E that protect skin from aging.

Tip: Sprinkle a few drops of olive oil on salads for a crunchy, tasty, and healthy dish. Before grilling fish or chicken, lightly brush some olive oil on them.

Apart from this, include lots of beans, lentils, chickpeas, and tofu in your diet to help in skin cell renewal process and let your skin heal itself.
