Healthy Living Supports Beautiful Healthy Skin

Water is the number one key ingredient to radiant, healthy skin. Foods with high water content like fresh fruits and vegetables are ideal for a healthy diet. Other key nutrients include essential fatty acids found in vegetable oils, seeds, and nuts that help skin retain vitality and elasticity. Some of the best sources of essential fatty acid come from cold pressed olive oil and flaxseed oil. Other cold pressed polyunsaturated oils, like safflower, soy, and sunflower may be used in moderation. Frying foods should be avoided. Fresh fish, eggs, poultry, and meat in moderation, may also be added to your diet.

Water, as stated earlier, is the most important source of nourishment for skin. Water helps to carry nutrients through the body and helps flush out toxins. Drink at least six 8 oz. glasses of water a day. High fiber diets that include whole grains, legumes, and vegetables helps to detoxify the body and prevents build up of harmful toxins.

Foods high in beta carotene like carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, apricots, cantaloupe, peaches, mango, broccoli, asparagus, kale, lettuce, mustard greens, parsley, seaweed, and spinach are recommended for healthy skin. Beta carotene deficiencies may cause acne, blemishes, dry skin, and skin cancer. Other important vitamins for the skin are
vitamin C, providing an antioxidant that fights free radicals and reduces aging effects. Vitamin E helps to reduce the risks of skin cancer and helps to repair skin cells. The B vitamins also support healthy skin functions.

Herbs are useful in maintaining a healthy diet which gives you healthy skin as well. Recommended herbs for the skin have been included in our Beautiful Skin Supplement incorporating vital nutrients to your body for a healthier diet and enhanced lifestyle helping you maintain beautiful, radiant skin.
