The New Skincare Diet: Vitamin-Rich Skin Care Foods
For anyone who assumes that all diets have to be about denial and portion control, a skincare diet may seem surprising.
The smart first step to any new diet is identifying the habits of one's current routine that are not healthy, and the same is true of a skincare diet. This includes over-consumption of coffee, diet soda, and processed foods, or not eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Believe it or not, a diet consisting mainly of processed foods is as bad for the skin as it is for the health. In order for the skin to function optimally, it is important to consume foods rich in vitamins, minerals and botanical ingredients.
Vitamin A, a potent free-radical scavenger, helps the skin heal from wounds, and in the manufacture of new skin tissue. Deficiencies in Vitamin A can lead to dry skin or hair, acne, night blindness and possibly even respiratory infections.
The next vitamin, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), is probably one of the most well known vitamins, universally acknowledged as critical to good health and well being.
CoEnzymeQ10 is a vitamin-like substance sometimes called ubiquinone because it is present in every cell of the body.
The second most abundant element on the earth, Silicon is needed for the formation of collagen and connective tissue, calcium absorption and the healthy growth of hair, skin and nails.
Zinc helps prevent acne and regulate oil production in the skin, as well as promotes collagen production and the healing of wounds.
Finally, one of the most essential elements to the body is also essential to any skincare diet as well-EFA's, or essential fatty acids. All cells need essential fatty acids; they assist with cell rejuvenation and formation, reduce blood pressure, improve the texture of hair and skin, minimize the risk of blood clots, lower cholesterol and are beneficial in the treatment of the skin diseases eczema and psoriasis. Omega 3's are mainly found in fresh deepwater fish and fish oils, as well as canola, walnut and flaxseed oil and are extremely beneficial to the heart. Omega 6's are found in unsaturated vegetable oils: grapeseed, borage, primrose, and sesame, as well as raw nuts, legumes and seeds and are very beneficial in treating skin disorders of all kinds including: acne, blemishes, dryness, blotchiness and sensitivity.
