HEALTH YOURSELF!

Foods that contain high levels of “good” fats like nuts and certain types of fish can actually reduce wrinkles.

The omega-3 fatty acids founds in these ingredients hydrate skin and lessen the appearance of fine lines.

Preliminary research shows that altering your diet can actually decrease your risk of skin cancer.

Try aMediterranean-inspired meal plan of leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, olive oil, fatty fish and red wine to boost antioxidants that battle cancer-causing cells in the body.

As an added bonus, leafy green vegetables like spinach, beet greens and collards have also been shown to prevent varicose veins.

Dark berries like strawberries, blueberries and blackberries all have impressive levels of antioxidants, making them an ideal beauty food.

Good old water might be the cheapest beauty product on the market. Not only does H20 flush out toxins that can lead to acne, staying hydrated can also reduce stress and improve higher levels of thinking.

Dark circles can be caused by everything from sinus allergies to a lack of sleep, but more often than not, the zombie look is a symptom of vitamin K deficiency. Reduce the look by stocking up on the hottest veggie around: kale.

The health of your hair is a reflection of what you put in your body. Your strands, scalp, and hair follicles thrive on protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and biotin, while vitamins E, A, C and B and minerals like zinc and iron keep strands strong and abundant. To this end, snack on a balanced diet of salmon, oysters, walnuts, sweet potatoes, eggs, spinach, lentils, Greek yogurt, blueberries, and poultry, and other yummy nutrient-rich foods.

Bon appétit!
