In today's world, convenience usually comes before health. People are always on the go and grab food whenever they can. This type of eating can wreak havoc not only on your health but your skin too! The more unhealthy foods you eat, the less healthy looking your skin will be. This can be fixed simply by following a few steps.
- Stop eating junky, convenience foods. This means cutting out fast foods, packaged food, and sweets. Processed foods fill your body with chemicals and toxins which can make you feel tired, worn out, and make your skin look dull.
- Detox- Your body is full of all this yucky stuff and the only way to let it all go is to detox. This can be very easy by using fresh fruits and vegetables. Many whole foods have a detoxifying effect, such as celery.
- Once your body is detoxed, your diet should consist of whole foods, fruits, and vegetables. Stay away from processed, packaged foods.
- Eat blueberries! One of the most nutritious foods you can eat comes in a little tiny package. Blueberries are packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants which can help reduce the signs of aging when eaten and when used as a part of your skin care routine (mash it up and put all over your face for a energizing facial.) The effects of blueberry nutrition are immense for the body. Blueberries are low calorie and delicious in recipes, smoothies, or simply tossed with some plain yogurt.
