OPT FOR PROTEINS
If your diet is low in vital nutrient, your skin is
deprived of essential amino acids that create
collagen, something that strengthens your skin
and improves its elasticity. Protein-rich foods
are also said to effectively treat breakouts,
particularly when paired with a balance of
greens. Nutritious nuts and seeds like walnuts,
cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower
seeds, and chia seeds, offer a good amount of
skin-loving protein. Lean red meats are also
a good choice for non-vegetarians as they are
high in protein, and a good source of zinc
which is beneficial for the skin.

GO GREEN
You can’t achieve flawless skin with the
absence of green vegetables. Greens are
a must-have element in any skin diet; they
help strike a balance whilst consuming
essential fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
When scouting for these vegetables, the
greener, the better. These vegetables offer anti-
ageing benefits and keep the skin hydrated
for a longer span of time. Spinach, kale, and
broccoli, are good selections for your diet.

BRING ON THE CARBS
Think whole grain foods like brown rice or
brown bread to keep your digestive system on
track. These are healthy carbs that are rich in
fibre, helping you feel fuller for longer, curbing
the need to overeat or binge eat unhealthy
foods. Avoid white bread and white pasta as
they cause a spike in insulin levels, which is bad
news for your skin.

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Herbs and spices are said to be a great source
of antioxidants which is even higher than
fruits and vegetables. Turmeric is one such
spice that is highly beneficial for your skin
since it also contains anti-inflammatory
properties, which is an added advantage to get
healthy glowing skin.
