Now, I know we all will agree that nutrition is important for health. An unhealthy diet can damage your metabolism, cause weight gain and even damage organs, such as your heart, liver and skin.

Here’s the best foods for healthy skin:

• Fatty Fish, such as salmon, mackerel and herring, are excellent foods for healthy skin because they are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and protein which maintains the strength and integrity of your skin.

• Avocados are high in healthy fats which helps keep your skin flexible and moisturized.

• Sunflower Seeds are an excellent source of nutrients, including vitamin E, which is an important antioxidant for the skin.

• Sweet Potatoes are an excellent source beta-carotene or vitamin A, which acts as a natural sunblock and may protect your skin from sun damage, such as sunburn, cell death and dry, wrinkled skin.

• Broccoli is a good source of vitamins, minerals and carotenoids that are important for skin health. It contains sulforaphane, which may help prevent skin cancer and protect your skin from sunburn.

• Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and all of the major carotenoids, especially lycopene. These carotenoids protect your skin from sun damage and may help prevent wrinkling.

• Green Tea can protect your skin from sun damage and can improve its hydration, thickness and elasticity.

As you can see, what you include in your diet can have a huge impact on your skin health. Make sure you are getting enough essential nutrients to protect your skin. The foods listed in this article are great options to keep your skin healthy, strong and attractive.
