Want better skin? Put down the potato chips!
I know I want flawless skin, I obsess over it sometimes actually. Looking in stores for the next new product that is supposed to make your skin "perfect", making home face masks, washing my face a zillion times a day (which turns out just makes your skin very dry and then you have a whole new problem on your hands! Well recently I have been researching how to have consistently good skin and the answer was obvious, I really can't believe I haven't thought about it before! One way towards the healthy complexion you want, is to not stuff your body with junk food! According to www.lifescript.com the ten best foods for your complexion are: 1) avocados 2) mangos 3) almonds 4) cottage cheese 5) acerola cherries 6) oysters 7) baked potatoes 8) mushrooms 9) flaxseed oil 10) wheat germ. The worst foods for your complexion according to www.quickiechick.com are 1) dehydrating foods - ex: caffeine, alcohol, salty foods, etc. 2) high glycemic foods - ex: white bread, candy bars, white rice, etc. 3) trans-fat/ fried foods - ex: so many different foods come to mind !! Fast food?? But one that is used a lot in baking is margarine 4) red meat and dairy are actually not very good for your skin! I recently have started a lifestyle change, with my eating habits! For the next 3 months I am going to eat very healthy foods everyday (especially foods from the good for skin list!) and only one small portion of something mildly unhealthy. Also I am starting to take up running again to help with the healthy-ness. I hope I can get through 3 months, and I hear after that it becomes sort of a habit so I am hoping for that! So if all goes well I am starting my journey to flawless skin and a healthy lifestyle.
