We all desire clear, youthful skin that radiates health and vitality.
But, many of us think that healthy skin comes from creams and
lotions. The fact is, the food we eat has a major impact on skin
condition. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, protects
underlying tissues, and plays a major role in temperature regulation,
immunity and metabolic functions. The best diet for healthy looking
skin emphasizes plenty of fruits and vegetables, and minimal amounts
of saturated fats (found mostly from animal products). Drinking
eight glasses a day of water (more if you exercise regularly)
is also essential to maintaining skin health.
Omega-3 fatty acids are another component for healthy skin cells,
and daily dietary intake is suggested for optimum skin health.
Around each and every cell in the skin is a membrane that normally
keeps moisture inside the cell. Omega-3 fatty acids form a part
of the skin’s cell membrane, and help keep it moist and strong.
They do this by encouraging the production of strong collagen
and elastin fibers, and may help the skin to look younger for
longer.*
Research suggests that Omega-3, along with vitamins A, D and E,
and the mineral zinc, may help protect teenage skin from simple
acne, spots, blackheads and whiteheads when combined with other
healthy diet measures such as eating plenty of fruits and vegetables,
drinking sufficient quantities of water (8 glasses per day) and
regular exercise.*
