Top 5 Foods for Healthy Skin
By Liz Thompson, Feelgood Style
We are thinking about our skin now more than ever, with sleeveless tops, shorts and (shudder) bathing suits on the horizon. There are many things you can do to get the bod summer-ready. Starting with, of course, a healthier diet and picking up where we left that exercise program last fall. As for the skin, a little self tanner goes a long way, evening out skin tone and giving you a nice glow.
To have truly healthy skin from the inside out you absolutely have to think about what you are feeding it. Be sure you are using skin care and cosmetic products that are safe (free from harmful ingredients) and right for your skin type. But don’t stop there, your diet definitely shows up in your complexion.

Healthy Fats
Essential fatty acids, found in oily fish, nuts and seeds, help to keep skin soft and supple and some studies show that they may help lessen the severity of skin conditions like rosacea and eczema. Essential fatty acids are also said to reduce inflammation and protect DNA from damage.

Remember to add color to your plate (veggies/fruits). Also, the whole grains are v good sources of fiber and nutrients. I believe plant based diets with choices of fish/poultry are terrific.

i say water... yeah wherever it comes from! However, buying water isn't very good for the environment when you can easily get it out of the sink. and why pay for it anyways? lol - and oh yeah, I really wish they would just sell pomegranate seeds in the store, that would be so much easier ^_^

I enjoyed the article, but I'm confused. Why did this article take 5 separate pages? It could easily have been written on 1 page, so people don't have to wait around while their incredibly slow browser gets to the next page. PLEASE try writing shorter articles like this one all on one page so it doesn't take half an hour to read. Thank you!
