5 "On the Go" foods for a healthy skin | Moonshine and Sunlight
18:03As women we want our skin to be clear , healthy and glowing.
But what most people ignore is the fact that until and unless our skin is healthy and clear from within our body it will never be glowing.
And that by indiscriminately slathering expensive body lotion etc won't make any difference , if your body is not getting proper nutrients.
Everything said and done in our busy lives these days we mostly forget to take care of our diet.
The undermentioned are a few foods and supplements which can be always consumed on the go and easily available everywhere nowadays. The list for this is very long but to summarize the goodness these are more than enough.
1.Vitamin E
This is considered to be the most important factor for a glowing skin, vitamin E is found in many foods like spinach ,dried apricots,pine nuts etc. But the problem with these are that these are either not available always or have to be cooked first etc .
So , the On the Go source is " Cod liver oil capsules", these are high in vitamin E content. have two to three capsules a day.
2.Green tea
Green tea is a very good source of anti oxidants and has lots and lots of health benefits apart from lending a lovely glow to your skin.
Replace your cup of coffee or just plain tea with a cup of green tea and you will start to notice the difference.
3. Almonds
Snack healthy , carry a small amount of almonds with you in your purse.
These are a source of vitamin E and it has been found out that almonds burn excess fat!
4.Citrus fruits
Vitamin C is responsible for keeping the skin clear.
Have a lemonade a day ,drink a glass of orange juice or just pop a tablet of vitamin C into your mouth when ever possible !
The choice is yours !
you will notice how that makes a huge difference !
and the last but not the least
5.Zinc rich food
There are plenty of choices in this case. The best and easily available is Banana.Although legumes ( beans and peas ) are a very good source of zinc but not very easily available (that is you have to cook ).
Zinc prevents acne and marks on the skin making it clear !
And the most important , for staying healthy first of all is lots and lots of water !
Drink water , stay hydrated no matter what .
Include these foods in your diet and within a week you will start noticing the change in your skin !
Hope this helps and do let me know how this turns out and if you want to add something to the list!

Nice article...i follow all the things other than the vitamin E capsules nowadays.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot !
DeleteI follow all of these ! sometimes not the green tea! Hostel problem!!
:D
But do try to follow the vitamin E after every meal !works wonders!
Too much vitamins in pill form can be bad for you, you can overdose on codliver oil. Some of these are goos, but eating 7 servings of fruits and veggies throughout your day will work better. Excersise and hydrate. I've seen the proof in glowing hair and skin.
ReplyDeleteYep! everything in moderation is good :D

ReplyDeleteHi Hasitha,
DeleteThank you for dropping by my blog!
Yep simple is always the best way :D
Does taking Vitamin C tablet pose any side effect? Although such tablets are used in cases of vitamin deficiency. I never thought would become a supplement in dieting. I follow the idea of taking fresh fruits. These days it easy to buy them as they are available online on websites like Big Basket, Nature's Basket and more.
