Do you want that glow of health and radiance that make people wonder what you do for it? It goes deeper than what you put on your skin! Ageless beauty comes from giving the body the proper nutrition on a cellular level. Read on for some tips on everything you should be putting in your body for radiant beauty.
Water
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it one thousand times: you need to drink more water! Half of your body weight in ounces per day, to be exact (not to exceed 100 oz). Water keeps your cells plump and hydrated, aids in transporting nutrients to every part of the body, and takes toxins away. It keeps your skin clear and your eyes bright, so drink up!
Avocado
This delicious food is actually a fruit chock full of nourishing goodness. It’s omega fatty acids build strong cell membranes, and it’s antioxidants fight free radicals and repair and renew skin cells.
Blueberries
Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food. The nutrients found in blueberries have been shown to improve collagen (which decreases wrinkles) and decrease sun damage.
Leafy Greens
Vegetables like spinach, kale, cabbage, broccoli, Swiss chard, and Brussels sprouts have been shown to neutralize carcinogens and oxidative stress on skin, reduce inflammation, and boost your immune system. They also contain nutrients that guard against breast cancer and are a great source of vitamins A and C, which condition your skin and hair follicles!
Green Tea with Raw Honey
This minimally processed tea is infused with antioxidant polyphenols, which are believed to inhibit cancer and beautify the skin. Sweeten it with raw honey, and you’ve added vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E, and K into the mix, as well as natural enzymes that are packed with skin-repairing nutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds!
