- avoiding sugar as much as possible
- eating products such as olive oil, avocado and macadamia nut oil
Simple changes to your nutrition intake that will greatly impact your skin are -
Cut out the sugar
The less sugar we eat, the better it is
Eat more healthy fat
Studies have shown that eating more fat makes our skin more elastic and less wrinkly. The increase in fat consumption has to be done in conjunction with sugar and grain reduction. Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocado and macadamia nut oil are well-known to be good for us.
Greatly reduce your grain and starch intake
Most people believe that a diet rich in grains is good for health; whole grains in particular are touted as especially healthy. But starches, the carbohydrates in grains, are simply long strings of sugar molecules and eating them will still make our skin and body age prematurely.
Eat lots of vegetables
Vegetables will also provide you with plenty of fibre and antioxidants. However, make sure to cut down on starchy vegetables, as they can have a surprisingly strong effect on our blood sugar level.
Don't forget your daily protein
Protein provides important building blocks for our entire body. However, our body has little capacity to store protein. So, to supply our body and skin with all it needs, we have to provide it with sufficient amounts of protein on a daily basis.
Spice up your life
Herbs and spices including rosemary, garlic,
curcumin and cinnamon are a great addition to any skin health and
longevity eating plan. Not only do spices greatly add flavour and
variety of our food, but they also contain bioactive substances with
positive effects on general health, skin and life span.
