summer diet for skin

In Russia, exotic plants, which are commonly called superfoods, are not cultivated, but this is not a reason to be upset: ordinary rosehip is no worse than goji berries, and it is also several times cheaper. And he is not alone. Let’s talk about foods rich in vitamins that are beneficial for the skin.

Healthy summer menu for skin

Apples

Rejuvenating apples from a Russian fairy tale are not fiction. This fruit may well qualify for the status of an anti-aging product due to its high content of vitamins, fiber and pectins, which are called orderlies of the body for their detox properties.

All these substances normalize digestion, so regular consumption of apples has a positive effect on the condition of skin prone to rashes,” says Vichy expert Ekaterina Turubara.

Incidentally, sunflower seeds apples are also useful: they contain high doses of iodine and derivatives of B vitamins. If you accidentally eat an apple with seeds, this is only good for the body.

Strawberries

These berries are loved for their bright color, magical aroma and juicy sweet pulp. Although that’s not all: strawberries are a natural cocktail of antioxidants, trace elements and vitamins. It contains:

  • vitamins C and PP;

  • rutin;

  • iron;

  • phosphorus;

  • magnesium;

  • iodine.

Strawberries help improve complexion, prevent age-related changes and hyperpigmentation. In addition, a glass of these berries in the daily diet helps to remove excess fluid from the tissues.

Tomatoes

You have probably heard about lycopene – the most powerful antioxidant, which is ten times more powerful than vitamin E. Tomatoes are rich in this substance, and heat-treated ones (this way lycopene is better absorbed). The systematic use of tomato paste and tomato-based sauces in food brings considerable benefits to the body.

Bell pepper

These red and orange berries (yes, that’s right) are rich in vitamin C, carotenoids and anthocyanins, which means they help to improve the complexion and even smooth the skin. Add pepper to a salad or just take it with you for a snack throughout the day.

Cucumber

A find for those who want to lose those extra pounds in the summer. Cucumbers are low in calories, but at the same time rich in micro and macro elements, folic acid, as well as potassium and calcium (these substances perfectly soothe the skin). Vitamin C gives a light brightening effect.

Since 95% of the juicy pulp is water, you should not abuse cucumbers in your diet either.
