Eat for Wellness: Better Skin Diet

What would you do for skin that’s soft, fresh and unblemished? All the expensive skin care products in the world won’t achieve healthy skin without help from your diet. Here’s how the Better Skin Diet will help cleanse your skin from the inside out so you can look and feel great:

 • 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 — as snacks.
