skin elasticity collagen
Do more fruits and veggies really improve collagen/elasticity in skin/skin tone?
That’s a super answer Minx!!
Ty also to 1st post.
Fresh fruit and vegies are packed full of antioxidants, fibre and water ………. antioxidants are the little soliders that go in there and give up their lives to reform the mutated cells in our bodies that have been attacked by the free radicals. So, yes indeed, fruit and vegies will improve the appearance and texture of your skin… As will foods rich in Zinc, Selenium and Vitamin E and foods rich in the Essential Fatty Acids.
ie ~ Vitamin A ~ liver, dark green and yellow vegies, carotts, pumpkin and yellow fruits;
Without enough Vitamin A in your system no amount of potions or lotion will ever give you that rosy glow.
Vitamin C ~ citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, strawberries and blackberries, leafy and green vegies, red and green peppers and tomatoes and potatoes.
Vitamin C extends life by enabling protein cells to bind together……… actually, vitamin C performs an amazing amount of functions in our bodies such as helping to eliminate constipation as it is a natural laxative, assisting in lowerin blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increasing absorption of iron levels and of course helping to prevent contracting the common cold.
Vitamin E ~ wheat germ, vegetable oils (olive oil), nuts, leafy and green vegies, spinach broccoli, whole wheat, whole grain cereals and eggs.
vitamin E will keep you looking younger by retarding cellular aging due to oxidation (by plumping out those lines and extending the life of your cells).
Selenium ~ seafood, liver, wheat germ, bran, tuna fish, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, garlic and brown rice.
Selenium works in tandem with vitamin E thus they increase each others potency. selenium is another antioxidant that will slow the aging process for you.
Zinc ~ essential for protein synthesis and collagen formation.
foods rich in zinc are ~ meat, liver, seafood (especially oysters), wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, eggs and ground mustard.
Pump up your fresh filtered water intake on a daily basis too to hydrate your body properly and plump up your skin and maintain your health, youth and vitality…… you need at least 2 – 3 litres of water per day. Geez, we need at 2 litres daily just to maintain aspiration (to breath!!)……….. :0)
Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any) as all these will not only dehydrate you but also rob you of your essential B complex of vitamins which are so essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
take care of you & hope i helped a bit ♥
