The secret to healthy skin? Eat right!

Your skin reveals a lot about yourself including your current condition, lifestyle and the food you eat. Radiant skin connotes good health. Ashen or pale skin indicates poor health or sickness.

The skin is actually the largest organ of the body. It excretes, absorbs and protects. If the balance of the skin becomes disturbed especially through poor nutrition, the functions associated with the skin cells cannot act in a balanced manner. This can result in dryness, excessive oiliness, and inability to protect against infections.

A healthy, well-balanced diet can definitely improve your skin condition. Start having better skin by eating the right food. Here are some steps towards eating for clearer, radiant-looking skin:

  Avoid coffee and caffeinated teas. Tea, coffee and colas are filling without being nutritious and may add unnecessary calories.

  Substitute olive oil for butter whenever you can.

 Buy fresh fruit every time you go to the grocery. Healthy snacks are a better alternative to junk food.

  Treat yourself to your favorite fish at least once a week.

  Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to help nourish the skin, moisten it from within and remove cellular waste products.
