Maintaining a balanced diet is not only good for the body as a whole, but also plays a role in keeping the skin healthy and glowing .
Quoted from Eatingwell, Monday, skin health is influenced by various factors including diet, lifestyle, genetics and sunscreen use.
Here are some nutrition experts' recommendations for healthy, glowing skin:
1. Edamame:
Contains isoflavones, which can affect certain aspects of skin health, including wrinkles. Isoflavones can also be found in tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and soy yogurt.
2. Sweet potatoes:
Rich in nutrients, especially vitamin C, one medium-sized sweet potato contains about a quarter of the daily value of vitamin C, which plays a role in increasing collagen synthesis for healthy skin and joints. It's also a source of beta-carotene, which protects the skin from infection and acts as an internal sunscreen.
3. Tomatoes
are rich in carotenoids that protect against sun damage, especially lycopene, which also helps keep skin young and healthy.
However, it should be noted that someone may be allergic or sensitive to tomatoes if consumed directly or in direct contact with the skin, it can cause irritation, rashes and redness, thus worsening acne or eczema.
4. Orange Juice:
Pure orange juice is rich in vitamin C, which boosts collagen, making it great for smoother, firmer, and more supple skin. One glass of pure orange juice, or about 8 ounces, is enough to meet your daily vitamin C needs. Furthermore, orange juice also supports hydration and nourishes the skin.
