Believe it or not, chowing down on certain foods can actually be beneficial to your looks. Look no further than your own kitchen for the secrets to healthy skin,shiny hair and whiter teeth.
Here's how:
1. Lobster: These little crustaceans are a good low-fat source of protein (key for hair & nail growth) and contain a high amount of naturally occurring zinc, which helps prevent acne. Shellfish also contains vitamin B, which helps make hair look healthier & shinier.
Also good: Oysters and clams
2. Artichoke: It is chock full of fiber, which is detoxifying, helping the body to rid itself of waste. They also contain rutin, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation throughout the body. The result is clearer, less blotchy, and more radiant skin.
3. Strawberries: Not only are they sweet, but they are also loaded with vitamin C, another antioxidant that helps stimulate collagen production and reduces damage from free radicals, the nasty agents that cause skin to age prematurely. They also contain a malic acid, which is a natural astringent that helps remove discoloration from teeth. Also good: Blueberries, kiwis, and oranges
4. Sweet potatoes: They are full of fiber and vitamin A (often used as an acne and wrinkle-treating prescription topical), an antioxidant that helps keep skin clean and smooth.
Also good: Carrots and tomatoes
5. Wild Salmon: It reduces inflammation more effectively than almost any other food and also enhances radiance and reduces wrinkles as well as puffiness.
Chow down, you doll face you.
