Learn simple ways to maintain healthy and beautiful skin. By following these 4 simple steps you can help protect yourself and maintain a healthy glow.
There may not be a fountain of youth, but the food we eat and how we treat our bodies can prevent or even reverse aging. Your body needs the right nutrients to fight off damage, and your skin is no different. Nutrients help the cells replicate and have more energy.
Processed foods, stress, toxins and low-nutrient diets will accelerate aging. Protecting yourself from harmful chemicals while getting enough sleep, relaxation and exercise will all help you maintain a healthy glow.
1. Have A Rainbow-colored Plate of Food
Free radicals form in our bodies and cause major damage to our cell structures. The different nutrient-rich foods we eat neutralize them. You need to consume the widest variety of antioxidants you can to fight off the different kinds of free radicals. Think about what colors you’ve missed throughout the day, and try to incorporate them into your next meal.
2. Get Enough Vitamin C
A diet rich in Vitamin C leads to fewer wrinkles. Researchers have found that skin exposed to Vitamin C for long periods of time can produce up to eight times more collagen!
3. Cleanse Your Body
A buildup of toxins in the body due to the air, water, and food causes damage to the body as well as aging. Detoxing by way of a juice cleanse is recommended for the body to be able to focus on energy production and eliminating toxins. Simply having a glass of water with a squeezed lemon first thing in the mornings is also very cleansing. You could also use a cleanse supplement to help with your cleanse as well.
4. Eat Healthy Fats
Incorporating foods such as avocados, olive oil, flax seeds, nuts, and fish into your diet is important. The fatty acids are crucial for your skin to look youthful.
