Knowing that everyone, no matter young or old, male or female likes to look good or feel good about themselves, we wanted to share in this blog the types of natural food we can eat every day to have fabulous glowing skin. Having that said, as much as we may try to resist it, our skin naturally ages.

Fill your diet with zinc-rich foods

Zinc plays a role in maintaining healthy skin. It plays a vital role in every stage of wound healing, from skin repair to preventing infections. It also improves the barrier function of the skin and helps to keep it hydrated and moisturized. Sources of Zinc include chicken, beans, red meats, nuts, fish, seafood, and dairy products. 

 

Eat healthy fats omega-3

Omega 3 fatty acid content is known to promote hydration in skin cells. It helps keep the skin hydrated, and hence reduces the chances of inflammation, red itchy skin, and marks due to dry skin. Those who are suffering from acne, eczema, psoriasis, or even sensitive skin should consider adding this to their diet. 

Foods that are very high in Omega 3 are fish, seafood, walnuts, soybeans, flax seeds, hemp seeds, and chia seeds.

Besides the diet, we must also take into consideration exercise, rest time, and mental state as a whole. Without having any of these, it is unlikely for anyone to have glowing skin.
