Healthy Eating Provides Lasting Beauty

   No one wants their skin to be unhealthy, wrinkly, or dry. Yes, the special creams in your bathroom may help this situation to some extent, but I know a way that can improve your skin and cost a whole lot less. It's not a secret; it's a super practical way to get beautiful, healthy, younger-looking skin in no time.

   Eat healthy! Eating healthy will not only make you look better, but it will make you feel better as well. "Good nutrition is a fundamental building block of healthy skin," says Leslie Baumann, MD, a Miami Beach dermatologist. If a dermatologist says it, you better believe it!

   Here is a list of five healthy foods that you might consider purchasing on your next grocery run.
  1. Romaine Lettuce -- Six leaves provide more than 100% of your daily value of vitamin A, which revitalizes skin by increasing cell turnover.
  2. Tomatoes -- Tomatoes help protect against sunburn and help prevent sagging.
  3. Strawberries -- A cup of strawberries has up to 100% of the daily value of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that boosts production of collagen fibers that help keep skin smooth and firm.
  4. Apples -- Quercetin, an antioxidant in the peel of many varieties of apples, provides hefty protection from the "burning" UVB rays that trigger skin cancer.
  5. Eggs -- Lutein and zeaxathin, two antioxidants found in eggs, more than quadrupled protection against the UV damage that leads to lines, brown spots, and cancer in one study on women.
