Healthy skin starts from within. Paired with adequate hydration, the number one way to improve your skin health is to look at our diets and the foods we are eating. A diet full of healthy fats, antioxidants, the right amino acids, and vitamins can leave us with a glowing complexion.
Enjoy these five superfoods each week to boost your skin health:
Berries:
Packed with antioxidants, berries are an amazing food to help fight free radicals and reduce damage to the skin. Try berries in our Beet and Berry Glow Smoothie or Cacao and Berry Overnight Oats.
Bone Broth:
Bone broth is incredibly rich in collagen. By increasing your intake of bone broth you are not only hydrating your cells with all of the amazing minerals, you are also increasing your cell turnover and keeping your skin youthful and vibrant. Try bone broth in our Lemon and Chicken White Bean Soup.
Fermented Foods:
Good gut health contributes to radiant, glowing skin. Healthy bacteria in our gut keeps our bodies thriving with all of the nutrients it needs. Miso, sauerkraut, kefir and kimchi are three great foods to add in to your diet. Try fermented foods in our Vegetarian Egg Super Bowl or Kimchi Fried Rice.
Matcha:
Matcha (made from ground green tea leaves) is loaded with antioxidants and is an anti-inflammatory food source. Inflammation is a main contributor to bad skin health, so try increasing your matcha or green tea intake today. Try matcha in our Matcha Chia Pudding Jars or Mango, Matcha and Macadamia Smoothie.
Brazil Nuts:
Rich in selenium, brazil nuts are the perfect skin food. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that works alongside vitamin C and E. The recommended daily amount of brazil nuts is 2-3, so keep a jar on your kitchen bench and enjoy them daily. Try brazil nuts in our Spiced Banana, Oat and Dark Chocolate Cookies or Superfood Granola Bars.
