How to Get Clear Skin With the Right Food?

What goes into you will without a doubt impact the way you look. While chocolates and dairy causing a horrendous acne flare up are nothing but old wives' tale, healthy eating will give you a glowing complexion and clear skin. So, here is a look at some super foods that can make you look like a million bucks.

Green tea: While they have not found the mythical fountain of youth as yet, green tea is truly the next best thing. Loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols, the clear yellow concoction not only makes for a refreshing drink but also helps to protect your skin from sunburns and overexposure to ultraviolet rays. Green tea is also a rich source of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin and more which play a role in giving you blemish free and clear skin.

  Olive oil: Have you seen Italian beauties defying the impact of time and gravity? Well, they attribute it to their Mediterranean diet and all the olive oil they consume. With very high content of vitamin E, olive oil protects the skin against free radicals and also has a host of other health benefits. So, go ahead and add a dash of extra virgin olive oil to your favourite salad to get clear skin.

Veggies and fruits: Research has proved that the nutrients in fresh fruits and veggies help to combat free radical damage, prevent inflammation and even aid in keeping some types of bacterial infection at bay. In fact, including a few bowls of fresh, dark fruits and leafy greens in your diet can go a long way in making you feel and look fabulous with a clear skin.

Oily Fish: The Omega 3 fatty acids in seafood, marine algae, nuts and seeds can do your skin a world of good. Apart from lowering triglycerides and cholesterol, Omega 3 fatty acids are integral to cell functioning and help to keep the cells from drying thus preventing the appearance of wrinkles and leading to resplendent, clear skin.
