Tag your #bff ❤️While topical #solutions for #pimples can keep your #face acne-free, you can actually help your skin along the road to clarity through your #diet. What you put in your body reflects how it looks on the outside. 6 #Foods That Clear Your #Complexion, recommended by dietitian/nutritionist Elisa Zied, & internationally renowned cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra, M.D.
1) Oily fish like salmon/tuna
#Eating fish provides your #body with biotin, a B #vitamin that, among its many functions, produces fatty acids & metabolizes amino acids (the building blocks of protein). A deficiency of biotin can cause, among other things, scaly #skin — which, clearly, no one wants.
2) Chia seeds
Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain cell membranes by protecting the skin and providing it with #moisture. Chia seeds & walnuts are rich in these fatty acids (great choices if you’re a vegetarian), as are wild bison & oily fish (great options if you’re a meat-eater).
3) Sweet potatoes
#Eating a produce-rich diet provides your body with lots of #water, keeping your skin & other cells adequately hydrated. And loading up on #colorful, deeply-colored #fruits & #vegetables — especially those rich in vitamin A, like sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach — has been shown to enhance skin color & appearance by increasing its yellowness & redness.
4) Almonds
Packed with vitamin E, almonds can help you maintain #healthy skin. While chowing down on these nuts can’t replace #sunscreen, it’s worth noting that vitamin E may also protect the skin from damage caused by the sun.
5) Sunflower seeds
These little seeds provide an excellent source of #vitaminE & help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals in the environment & in the body (free radicals in excess can harm body cells, including skin cells).
6) Complex carbs
Processed foods and white flour can increase inflammation & cause #acne flair-ups. Replace pasta & white rice with complex carbs like barley, quinoa, beans & brown rice — #foods that are all lower on the glycemic index.
