We all must take good care of our skin and it’s not just a matter of looking good. Skin is an organ too which is the first visual indicator of an unhealthy body and mind. For example, inadequate sleep, smoking, stress, and improper diet – quickly results in loss of facial glow and dullness of skin.
Now you might be thinking – What is the right way for good skincare?
India’s top weight loss nutritionist and celebrity Dietitian Avni Kaul shares, “while people pay attention to their skincare products and skin treatments, they often miss giving equal attention to their diet”.
Avni adds, “You might be doing yoga, freehand exercises, or even trying some weight loss tips at home, but if you are not taking a balanced diet, your body, mind, and skin may still remain unhealthy.”
Wait! Before we move ahead, it’s important to understand that a balanced diet is unique for every person – depending on their age, body weight, menstrual cycle, lifestyle, other diseases, and even due to personal life stress.
Someone suffering from depression or mental pain must include the right quantity of nutrients to promote brain functioning – like food rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, B Vitamins, Vitamin K, Lycopene, and zinc nutrients. In this blog, Nutritionist and Dietitian Avni Kaul shares general diet secrets that boost your skin health.
Don’t Forget to Include Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables in your Regular Diet.
Summers are on, so make sure you eat watermelon, cucumbers, melons which are loaded with vitamin C that is a crucial antioxidant for skin health. Cucumbers are also loaded with silica, a mineral that can do wonders for your skin.
Eat Right Fat
Remember our skin is made up of fat, and balanced fat in your body gives your skin natural elasticity and sheen. Balancing fat levels in our body, especially in today’s society, needs extra care. It requires cutting the intake of bad fats that come with sugary products, red meat and tempting fast and junk food while simultaneously increasing the intake of ‘good fats’ like nuts, avocado, salmon fish, and cod liver oil which helps make body and skin more youthful and glowing.
Green and Herbal Tea
Try sipping the soothing green and herbal tea twice a day to ensure a steady inflow of antioxidants. Antioxidants help prevent free radical activity, which is responsible for ageing, wrinkling and dull skin.
Drink Water
These days we stay indoor often in an air-conditioned environment during summers. This artificial environment reduces our thirst level for water thereby increasing the chances of mild dehydration which is not always easy to detect. This acts as a major trigger for skin dullness and fast wrinkling.
Thus ensure that you drink an adequate quantity of water daily, (as per your body needs) as waters act as a natural detox and cleanses all toxins from within. This improves our metabolism, keeps our system clean and gives us healthy skin.
Your Meals Must Consist of Fibre-Rich Vegetables instead of Starchy Foods.
Fibre-rich vegetables are rich in antioxidants that induce a natural glow in your skin. They also have a good effect on your blood sugar levels.
