Did you know that you LITERALLY are what you eat? YES! If you eat healthy, it'll not only make you feel better, but it'll help keep your skin hydrated, clear, and free of blemishes.
This morning I woke up and wanted to have a delicious smoothie. After looking in my fridge, I picked out three ingredients: strawberries, banana, and papaya.
Strawberries are rich is salicylic acid and hence they removes the dead cells and clears out the blemishes. They are also packed with antioxidants, like vitamin c, and offer several health benefits. The power of vitamin C in strawberries continues, as it is vital to the production of collagen, which helps to improve skin’s elasticity and resilience. Since we lose collagen as we age, eating foods rich in vitamin C may result in healthier, younger looking skin.
Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid that is converted to serotonin, a mood improver. So people who eat it just can’t help liking it. What else is so attractive about the banana? It contains potassium, iron, B Vitamins including B6 and B12 and it is good for a whole host of issues, including anemia, constipation and diarrhea, maintaining healthy bones and teeth, regulating blood pressure, kidney health, improved nerve function, and stress relief.
Papaya is a good source of Vitamin A and Papain. This fruit helps in removing dead skin cells along with breaking down the inactive proteins. The best feature of papaya is its ‘Low Sodium Quality’, thus resulting in very little retention of water. In simple words it means, it helps you keep your skin hydrated.
