Best Foods for Skin Repair

The icy weather is finally coming to an end, and we have emerged with chapped lips and cracking hands. Winter takes a toll on everything on our bodies, and we tend to eat a little more as well, meaning we’ll be slightly less summer-ready than we want to be. While the excessive amounts of sanitiser we’ve been using isn’t helping with the dryness, some good moisturisers will give our skin a boost. Other things that can help are certain nourishing foods!

A Diet Plan for Glowing Skin?

Most healthy weight loss programmes will focus on other aspects of your body, too. Slender Wonder is a weight loss programme that incorporates all the healthy food options into your lifestyle so that your body looks and feels its best.

For healthy, happy skin, hair, and nails, the first step is to avoid processed, oily, sugary, and deep-fried foods, and eat more good food.

Salmon

Fatty fish like salmon is a brilliant source of omega-3 fatty acids which can help your skin to look supple and radiant. It also contains vitamin E, and antioxidants that protect the skin from irritation and improve the production of new skin cells.

Avocados

Out of season, avocados are difficult to find for a decent price, but at the moment they’re in season and you can find tasty ones at just about any grocery store. Avo contains healthy fats that help your skin stay moisturised and firm. Avocados are also rich in biotin, a B vitamin that some nutritionists believe can help promote healthy skin and hair.

Dark Chocolate

Good news for sweet tooths! Dark chocolate (in moderation, of course) boasts a host of benefits including antioxidants that help with hydrating and smoothening your skin. It also increases the blood flow to your skin, giving it more of a glow.

Additional ways to give your skin some help is by drinking plenty of water, getting your blood flowing with some exercise, and keeping up a proper skin routine with the right products.

To get your body in shape and start a healthy lifestyle, contact Slender Wonder and find a doctor near you!
