Food That Beautifies

Tips on what you can eat to help keep your youthful look :)

1. Wild Salmon - Wonderful source for omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce skin inflammation, prevent redness, wrinkles and loss of the skin's firmness. It's also potent in antioxidants and vitamins B and D.

2. Low-fat yogurt - CALCIUM! Strong bones, nails and teeth. One cup of plain yogurt has more calcium than a cup of skim milk!

3. Oysters - Don't crinkle your nose! Oysters are the best source of zinc! Zinc is necessary to support the structure of skin and speeds up renewal and repair.

4. Blueberries - Full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that prevent long-term cell damage.

5. Kiwi - Another good source of antioxidants, kiwis are also a great source of vitamin C and potassium, all which help prevent wrinkles.

6. Spinach - Great source of beta-carotene and lutein, which protects the eyes.

7. Tomatoes - Did you know tomatoes are one vegetable best eaten processed? A major source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant also thought to protect against sunburn.

8. Dark Chocolate - Here it is... proof that we MUST eat this creamy, deliciousness! Full of antioxidants and nutrients, cocoa (choose chocolate with at least 60% cocoa), increases blood flow to the skin, which in turn boosts hydration, smoothness and protection against sun exposure.

Now... go buy some veggies and fruit, but don't forget the dark CHOCOLATE!
