Foods That Keep You Looking Fabulous!
You've probably heard the saying, "You are what you eat." Well, it's true — from your hair right down to your toes! Luckily, the same foods that keep you healthy and fit also help keep you looking your best! To eat right and stay beautiful, here are some foods you should definitely include in your diet (if you aren't enjoying them already!):
Citrus fruits help your body form collagen, which is essential to keep skin looking young and smooth. Have an orange as a snack, keep drinking that glass of juice in the morning, and add a lemon to your water every now and then. Yum!
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and potassium — all of which help give skin a radiant glow. From salads to sauces, there are a million ways to work this veggie into your daily diet.
Garlic is reported to combat wrinkles and help restore tissue. It's like a natural anti-wrinkle cream!
Dairy foods like skim milk, low-fat yogurt, and low-fat cheese help keep your teeth strong and your smile bright. Aim for three servings of dairy a day and you'll get that creamy complexion you dream about!
Foods rich in vitamin A are key to clearer, younger-looking skin, because they help support the growth of brand-new skin cells. Pack your diet with lots of carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, spinach, broccoli, and collard greens. Take full advantage of this easy — and healthy — way to look your youthful best! Who needs Botox when fewer wrinkles are just a glass of carrot juice away?
But don't forget — it's still important to care for your skin on the surface! Use both sunscreen and moisturizer to help seal in all the good you're doing from the inside.
You look great!
