The food that helps us to have healthy skin

Food is key to help us in the process of cell regeneration, it is the gasoline of our body, and that is why we must know the benefits of what we are consuming.

Our body needs vitamins and minerals to enhance its function of building new cells, and thus facilitate cell regeneration that our skin needs so much, and be on par with regenerative treatment lines that we use topically.

What foods help us to enhance cell regeneration and stimulate healing?

In legumes and meat we can find a great source of protein and zinc. Proteins are essential for the construction of new tissue, their amino acids help us to improve blood circulation and oxygenation.

Vitamins B and E will help us to reduce cellular oxidation, we can find them in nuts, such as hazelnuts and walnuts. We can include them in the middle of the morning.

Cruciferous vegetables are essential, in them we find vitamin K, with its important function in blood coagulation, avoiding hematomas and helping us to reduce possible inflammations. Not only in cruciferous vegetables we will find it, we can also benefit from it in fish.

And we can not forget citrus fruits, a great source of vitamin C, not only helps us to raise the overall immune system, as we know it is essential in the synthesis of collagen.

If we think of vitamin C we quickly visualize an orange, but there are many other fruits that provide us with this vitamin, kiwi, pineapple, strawberry, grapefruit... or in vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers.

Which drinks help us to improve the health of our skin?

Everyone knows that there is no better way to start the morning than with a glass of water with lemon, and not to lose weight, but to help us eliminate toxins, and thus notice the benefit in our skin improving luminosity and helping to detoxify.

A great antioxidant is coffee, it will help us to neutralize free radicals, preventing premature aging and it is also an antioxidant that is easily absorbed, even more than those found in some fruits.

Wine lovers are in luck, since red wine has a large amount of polyphenols, antioxidants, including vit E and C, which will help us to regenerate and prevent cellular oxidation.

In green tea we find a great ally, since its composition helps us to have an improvement in the elasticity of the skin, in addition to activate drainage.

If we learn to listen to what our body needs at every moment, as a consequence, we will achieve a fuller and more conscious life.

Choose the foods that give you the gift of health.
