You Are What You Eat

Who would have thought that what you eat affects your skin? Not only is it important to stray away from the pizza face, but there are certain foods that will improve the look of your skin.

Pomegranate:
Pomegranate is a great fruit to eat because of its high antioxidant content. These antioxidants help to rid the skin of free radicals, which are typically formed from sun damage. These free radicals inhibit the cell membrane in your skin, and have the potential to damage your DNA. If DNA is damaged, the problem can only replicate and not be fixed.

Salmon:
This pink fish is awesome for your skin because of its fatty acids. The fatty acids help to repair and maintain the cell membrane in your skin. It creates a kind of barrier to keep water in skin cells, and allows for skin to keep hydrated and soft.

Green Tea:
This is like the magical elixir for scientific studies. Green tea is not only healthy for skin, but it is proven to work wonders for the body as well. The tea leaves contain an anti-inflammatory agent that will reduce puffiness and irritation of the cell membrane. There are studies that theorize that green tea will actually help to prevent cancer.

Water:
Water is the essential to human existence. Our bodies are made up of 70% water, so it's only natural that it is insanely good for us. Hard water is actually better for our bodies because of the natural mineral content. The more water we drink, the more efficiently our bodies sweat, which rids our skin of toxins and impurities.

Add these four foods and drinks into your diet and results are guaranteed. Not only are these items healthy for you, they are natural, and will provide natural looking results.
