Better Skin Diet

by Lynn Grieger, R.D., C.D.E.

• Fish contains oils that will help nourish your skin. This diet includes fish options at lunch and dinner to add luster and softness to your complexion.

• Ground flaxseeds are an excellent source of omega-three fatty acids, which promote good skin health. This meal plan adds flaxseed to your breakfast cereal for a healthy start to your day.

• Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin. This diet includes plenty of dark orange (carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squash) and dark green (broccoli, spinach, kale) vegetables -- all of which are high in vitamin A.

• Vitamin E helps promote great skin, which is why this diet includes nuts such as hazelnuts and almonds -- which are high in vitamin E.


Healthy Dos and Don'ts

Do:
• Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day -- add a slice of fresh lemon or lime for extra flavor and zest
• Eat seafood at least three times each week for the oils found in fish that help nourish your skin
• Eat at least eight servings of fruits and vegetables every day (choose a variety of different colors -- red tomatoes, green peppers, orange squash -- for the greatest amount of healthy antioxidants)
• Make sure your diet includes 20 to 30 percent of calories from healthier fats such as avocado, olive oil, canola oil and the oils in wheat germ and flaxseeds to prevent dry skin
• Use sunscreen every day, no matter where you live and what the weather conditions are like
• Wear a hat to shade your face when you're outside


Don't:
• Drink alcohol
• Eat snack foods that are high in fat such as chips, fried foods and chocolate. These snacks often replace healthier foods that promote healthy skin, and the additional amount of unhealthy fat provides extra calories
• Smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke whenever possible
