What To Eat For Looks And Health
Carrots
Maintain the outer layer of the skin to prevent premature aging. What you’ll find in is the same as you’ll get in Retin A.
Sweet Potatoes
Vitamin A is known to be a remarkable anti-wrinkling agent. Sweet potatoes are full of this important vitamin. The pleasing results are clearer, smoother skin.
Citrus Fruits
Hold the skin cells together by forming collagen. Collagen cannot be added to the skin topically, which is why fruits and fruit juices are such an important part of the daily diet.
Vegetables
Three to five servings daily. Try to include one serving of raw, leafy greens.
Fruits
Two to three servings daily. A 1/2 cup of chopped or sliced fruit is a serving. Fruit salad
Tomatoes
These “love apples” will keep you loving your skin. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
Meat
Have no more than three ounce servings a day. Cut off all fat. Try to make two servings of turkey or chicken. One serving of fish a day is ideal.
Dairy
At least two servings daily. A serving would be eight ounces of milk or yogurt.
Fats
Salad dressing, cooking oil, butter, and mayonnaise should be limited to two servings a day.
Cheese
To ensure a happy smile, add a slice or two of hard cheese into your diet. Choose Swiss, cheddar, or gouda to block bacteria in the mouth and prevent cavities.
Garlic
Helps combat wrinkles and restores tissue.
