Start hogging for a beautiful skin
For starters, this article is not about trying out the latest restaurants in town. Because, let’s face, the only thing you will be trying out there is learning how to survive on a minimal bank account balance till the end of the month. So, no, we are certainly not going to go down that road.
What we are going to do here is talk about the kinds of food because ‘you are what you eat’ is actually a true adage. Intake of a diet which consists of the below-mentioned food items will help nourish your skin, inside and out.
Olive oil
A study conducted in PLOS ONE, 2012 found out that people who consume a higher level of olive oil (2 teaspoons a day) showed 31% fewer signs of ageing than those who consume 1 teaspoon a day. Since 75% of olive oil is monounsaturated fatty acids, it helps provide a boost to the youthfulness. Its anti-oxidant polyphenols also get rid of the damaging free radicals.
Time to try out a bit of olive oil at home now. And no, you do not have to read this with an Italian accent.
Tomatoes
‘Seeing red’ is going to take a different ...
... meaning for your skin as 5 tablespoons of daily tomato paste helps get rid of that unwanted sun burn. Tomato paste also improves the natural Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of the skin.
Dark chocolate
Forget those social media posts which claim that people who like dark chocolates are potential psychopaths. Ditch such sort of insta-negativity in your life and go after that piece of chocolate hidden deep in your freezer. However, remember not to binge it, for you might end up gaining good skin with some unwanted weight. Anything in excess is anyway bad for health.
Oatmeal
Yes, it tastes bad and no we do not mean the tastier masala oats. As much as we want to spice up our lives, oatmeal for your skin needs to be non-spicy. Do not be horrified if we ask you to exchange your vada-pav for a bowl of oatmeal seasoned with fresh fruits. Trust us; you will start feeling the difference in your skin in a short-while. And start feeling way lighter than before.
Green tea
Green tea is already doing the round as a popular weight loss drink. Add to its list of benefits the fact that green tea is also good for your skin. Green tea contains antioxidants which boost the blood flow and oxygen to the skin, making it look healthier than before.
