NATURAL REMEDIES for a healthy skin #1 | Page 11

3. Take a nutritious diet A balanced mix of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants should keep your skin vibrant. These things can be found in loads of fruits and veggies, as well as many other foods. The right kinds of protein are also important -- they help cells fix themselves when damaged. One study suggests that people who eat things like legumes, vegetables and olive oil, coupled with less sugary foods and dairy products, had less wrinkly skin in old age. So find a good diet that makes your skin happy and stick to it Vitamins good for skin nutrition: Vitamin C. Among the most important new dermatologic discoveries is the power of vitamin C to counter the effects of sun exposure. It works by reducing the damage caused by free radicals, a harmful by-product of sunlight, smoke, and pollution. Free radicals gobble up collagen and elastin, the fibres that support skin structure, causing wrinkles and other signs of aging. You can also take vitamin C supplements, up to 500 to 1,000 milligrams of per day Vitamin E. Research shows that, this potent antioxidant helps reduce the harmful effects of the sun on the skin. According to studies published by the AAD, taking 400 units of vitamin E daily appeared to reduce the risk of sun damage to cells as well as reduce the production of cancer-causing cells Vitamin E can also help reduce wrinkles and make your skin look and feel smoother. (Be aware. some recent research warns that large doses of vitamin E can be harmful. Stay with 400 international units per day or less to be on the safe side.)
