What to eat for healthy bright skin?

Strawberries, oranges, avocados and celery help improve the appearance of skin, helping to prevent aging and increase radiance.

Avocados contain vitamin E, which helps eliminate free radicals that can damage the skin. Vitamins A, B, C, potassium, iron, and manganese also prevent aging, keeping the skin hydrated, healthy, and glowing. Eating avocado oil can reduce irritation and inflammation, helping to prevent acne.

A 2022 study from the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, USA, found that regularly eating avocados can increase skin elasticity and firmness.

Turmeric contains curcumin, an antioxidant that fights free radicals that dull the skin and promotes collagen synthesis. Many studies have shown that turmeric can rejuvenate the skin by acting as a stimulator of elasticity and firmness, thereby reducing wrinkles.

Red, green, and black grapes contain ellagic acid and resveratrol, which can fight oxidative stress. A 2021 study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that eating grapes for two weeks protected the skin against UV rays.

Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which protects the skin from sun damage, while also producing and maintaining collagen, increasing elasticity. The free radicals in oranges also help slow down the formation of wrinkles and prevent premature aging.

Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli are rich in vitamin K, which improves blood circulation and clotting. They also contain zeaxanthin, a natural antioxidant that helps protect and even out skin tone.

Strawberries are rich in skin-healthy substances such as vitamin C, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Vitamin C protects skin cells from oxidative damage, helps even out skin tone, and delays signs of premature aging. An average of 166 grams of strawberries provides 97.6 mg of vitamin C.

Strawberries also contain salicylic acid and AHA which exfoliate and cleanse the skin, removing dull dead skin cells and leaving skin smooth and bright.

Carrots can help the skin detoxify, protect against sun damage and prevent aging. This is thanks to beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A) and antioxidants.

Celery is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent containing apigenin, luteolin, ferulic acid and vitamin K. Drinking celery juice hydrates the skin and removes toxins, thereby helping the skin to lighten over time.
