Feed your skin and be beautiful

research proves that consuming healthy foods can help your skin have a youthful, plump, radiant, glowing appearance. in 2007, the American journal of clinical nutrition published a study done by British researchers that examined whether the food people eat affects the way their skin looks and the answer was clear. more pronounced wrinkles were found in those with a higher intake of bad fats and processed carbohydrates ( such as white bread and packaged cookies and snacks), while a diet rich in vitamin C was found to reduce wrinkling later in the life.it's just more proof that food has a lot to do with the beauty of your skin.

Skin: A Unique Organ
the skin is the largest of the body's organs. it functions as a key sensing organ, an oil producer, a detox organ, a temperature regulator, and a protective covering. the skin has to do battle constantly to stay strong and fight the damaging forces that surround it. as the barrier between the body and environment, it is subjected to a lot of abuse, including:
 
 * ultraviolet rays from the sun (probably the most damaging factor the skin encounters each day)
* tanning and other sun exposure damage
* cleaning product chemicals, both on clothing and in the air, which interact with the skin, drying it out and causing injury and possible allergic reactions.

your skin reflects your internal health. a healthy person has glowing, radiant, smooth skin. inflammation, scalling, or puffiness indicates that the body is having health problems. many skin conditions that leave us with undesirable complexions can be alleviated with a proper diet.

what does food have to do with it?
the body is made up of more than 100 billion cells, each of which is made up of fats and proteins. carbohydrates offer these cells energy. these three components are necessary to support your body's basic health.
    however, these nutrients alone do not make your body and skin healthy. your body also needs vitamins, mineral, and phytonutrients to perform optimally and look radiant. these nutrient help the skin repair damage, build support structures, stay moist, and prevent disease. for example, collagen is the skin's main structural component, and the body cannot make it without vitamin C. if you do not eat foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, lemons, and strawberries, your skin can lose its tight structure and begin to loosen, sag and wrinkle.
