Today I want to discuss foods that are good for your
skin.   I don’t mean slathering avocado all over
your face–although that’s not a bad thing.

I’m talking about nurturing your skin from the
inside out.  By eating foods that specifically benefit
your skin.

Science is discovering something new everyday about
the healing properties of fruits and vegetables.
Today I’m going to cover just a few.

Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and plums.
Notice these fruits have vibrant rich , dark colors?
Purple fruits (and vegetables) as a rule are filled
with antioxidants that fight skin damage caused by
excess sun, pollution-and dehydration.

Eating these fruits regularly protects you
from further damage
and slows down the ravaging
effects of free radicals.

Salmon, Walnuts, Canola Oil, and Flax Seed.
These 4 foods  have one thing in common: they deliver
essential fatty acids to your body and help nourish
your skin.

Without getting too scientific about
it-the properties in these oily foods help cell
membranes hold water…which keeps your skin moist.

Healthy Oils. Like the items above, these deliver
essential  fatty acids to your body and  help keep
skin lubricated.  When choosing an oil, look for  cold
pressed, expeller processed, or extra virgin.

Talking about oils…Healthy Urban Kitchen is a wealth
of information on which oils have the highest amounts
of Vitamin E and Omega-3 acids-both considered
essential for healthy skin.

Green Tea. You’re probably already aware of all the
skin care products out there that have green tea
extract.  The good news is that what’s good for the
surface of the skin is also beneficial at the cellular
level.  This beverage has anti-inflammatory properties
that protect cell membrane.  Some studies suggest it
may even protect against skin cancer.

Tomatoes. The lycopene carotenoid that makes
tomatoes red  is proving to be another protectant
against skin damage.  Some even call lycopene
Nature’s sun screen.   Surprise, surprise…tomato
in its concentrated, tomato paste,  is considered
the most potent in protecting the skin..

Well, those are just 5 types of foods  considered skin
friendly.  There are lots more.

You can find out about each and every one of them
when you order Healthy Urban Kitchen.  Not only that
you’ll also learn to select fruits and vegetables at peak color.
Remember: vibrant colors make your skin vibrant!
