How to improve our skin thanks to nutrition? First of all, we need to think that if we have skin problems, for example we suffer from oily or too dry skin, nutrition can do a lot , and we must above all worry about the health of our liver and intestines: a “tiring” diet for the liver or digestive problems are reflected on our skin, giving us a dull complexion and more impurities. But, something many overlook, even a weight loss diet has a bad effect on the skin, especially if we are not providing our body with all the nutrients it needs, which are not simply vitamins and minerals as many believe.
But how to get perfect skin with a diet?
First of all they must not be missingfoods that stimulate the production of collagen : eggs, white meats and fish (as well as liver, for those who like it), crustaceans, green leafy vegetables, vegetables rich in beta-carotene or lycopene, fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C such as citrus fruits, kiwis, red fruits, carrots. Garlic in dishes helps the body fight inflammation and impurities, while if we want to improve skin tone, we can drink cups of white tea or oolong tea. For those who already have good digestion, even some probiotics taken in the morning can be useful to improve our skin. For those with swollen stomach problems and other intestinal discomforts, as I said, these also affect the tone of our skin and its hydration. A good meat or fish broth works wonders when taken at least once a week.
And how to have perfect skin in your daily diet? There are in fact some foods that we must limit, for example refined foods. Better to eat brown rice and whole grains for lunch, and a perfect alternative to the traditional pasta or rice dish is potatoes, especially if we eat them with the peel. We avoid foods that are too sugary, artificial and salty.
Let’s remember not to do extreme diets , and let’s remember to also take the right amount of fat: perfect the classic drizzle of raw olive oil on the dishes, enriched with both fresh and dried aromatic herbs to fill up on mineral salts!
