The benefits of antioxidant meals to the health in general cannot be overemphasized. Like every nutritional value, feeding on antioxidant meals also aids healthy skin, gives and sustain glowing complexion. Although there is no conclusive proof that antioxidants keep skin from ageing, experts do agree they have the ability to ‘capture’ free radicals and may protect us from certain diseases; hence a healthier, and radiant complexion.
Nutritionist have also proven from research and result that
eating foods rich in antioxidants is best as there is no substitute for getting
nutrients through food. The body absorbs and assimilates them far better than
in supplement form. I can attest to this fact because I consume meals that are
rich in antioxidant and everyone who comes my way always complements my skin
and how it seem like I keep growing younger physically. It is a habit I have
imbibed along with other beauty regime.
Eating healthy equals younger looking skin. To achieve this,
below are the simple steps you have to follow:
- Eating three to five servings of vegetables and
two to four servings of fruit each day will do your skin a lot of good. Choose
at least one citrus fruit for vitamin C. - Drinking a cup of orange juice and eating one
raw carrot provides twice the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin C
and beta-carotene. The RDA for vitamin E is harder to meet, especially for
those on a low-fat diet. - Explore: don’t be afraid to add a couple of
tablespoons of olive oil to your diet, or to eat some nuts or seeds.
If you feel you are unable to meet the simple diet above due
to schedule constraint, by all means take an all-in-one antioxidant vitamin
supplement a day, but continue to pay attention to rich food sources. However,
please note that because many over-the-counter cosmetics containing
antioxidants don’t have enough to be totally affective by themselves, it is
best to ‘feed’ them to your skin in combination with a healthy, antioxidant
rich diet for younger looking skin.
