What works?

For smooth, younger looking skin and an overall healthy and fit body, there are five foods/drinks that are highly recommended for their nutritional qualities:

&bullWater helps to hydrate your body and rejuvenate skin cells. It also helps the body to rid itself of toxins and maintain nutrients. A regular intake of clean, pure water also helps your body to sweat naturally and effectively, which helps to keep the skin clear and clean.

&bullGreen tea is loaded with antioxidants which help to protect your body's cell membranes and aid in eliminating toxins that may be a factor in causing cancer. It has also been proven to help aid in protection from the harmful rays of the sun. Green tea contains Vitamins C, D and K as well as iron, zinc, magnesium, riboflavin and calcium.

&bullFatty and oily fish contain the healthy fatty acids, like Omega-3s that help to maintain healthy skin cell membranes. This also helps the body to take in necessary nutrients, while keeping harmful substances out of your system. The result is healthy, youthful and vibrant skin. These fish contain high levels of protein, potassium, Vitamin B12 and selenium.

&bullCarrots are rich in Vitamin A, which is necessary for healthy skin and preventing skin from becoming dry. Also high in antioxidants, they help to prevent free radicals (cancer-causing agents) from damaging your skin cells. Carrots are full of Vitamins K, C, B6, biotin, thiamine, potassium and are loaded with fiber.

&bullBlueberries are said to be the highest source of food containing antioxidants and phytochemicals (sources of plant nutrition) which neutralize the free radicals that damage DNA and cause cell damage. Blueberries are also high in fiber, Vitamin C and E, manganese and riboflavin.
