NANA Hospital is introducing 5 Best Foods that will help you get that healthy and glowy skin you always dreamed of.
Let's get into the list!
1. AVOCADOS
Avocados are high in healthy fats which have many benefits to our body including skin. Getting enough of these fats is essential to keep our skin moisturized. Avocados are also a good source of Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect your skin from oxidative damages and fights off free radicals which include daily environmental stressors such as unprotected sun exposure and air pollution. So in one word, Vitamin E can work as a "skin repair."
2. CHIA SEEDS
Native to Mexico and Guatemala, chia seeds were a staple food for the ancient Aztecs and Mayans. In fact, "chia" is the ancient Mayan words for "strength" (1). Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants and omega 3 acids that fight aging, soothe inflammation, reduce acne scars and keep skin radiant and glowy. Chia doesn't only help our skin but our overall health as well. With 10grams of fiber per ounce, chia seed is one of the highest-fiber food you can find. Intaking a good portion of fiber daily keeps you full longer, aid in bowel movements and reduce constipation.
How can you use chia seeds in food, you may wonder! It's super easy 😉 You can add chia seed in your water, oatmeal, cereal, acai bowl, salad and more. Just pour a spoon of chia seeds to what you are eating and the magic works!
3. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Apple Cider Vinegar is made when apple cider is fermented with yeast and other helpful bacteria. The fermentation process creates a compound in the vinegar called "acetic acid", which is well known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Main benefits of apple cider on skin are balancing skin's PH, exfoliates, lightens hyper pigmentations and fights acne causing bacterias.
How to use Apple Cider?
Apple cider vinegar is very strong and can cause chemical burns. For this reason, it should always be diluted with water first before applying on skin. A ratio of 1:4 (one part apple cider vinegar to four parts water) is recommended. You can soak a cotton pad in the apple cider&water solution and apply it on the skin. Leave it for a few minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water. It can be your own little "Apple Cider Facial Toner"
You can also dilute a couple spoons of apple cider vinegar to a cup of water and drink it every morning. It will help improve bowel movement and clears out skin.
