Eating Foods for Healthy Skin

How to Get a Healthy Skin from Inside Out

Eating a healthy diet will surely help promote healthy skin. Particularly, antioxidant-rich foods are good for the skin.

Good foods for healthy skin include:


- Fruits: cherries, berries, melons, apples and pears
- Vegetables: spinach and other green leafy vegetables, eggplant, asparagus, celery and onions
- Legumes: broad and lima beans
- Fish
- Nuts
- Olive oil

On the other hand, certain foods can cause skin damage. For example, skin wrinkling can be caused by a higher intake of meat and full-fat milk.

What else to eat for healthy skin?

Whole-grain breads and pasta, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, trade red meat for fish and limit sweets.
