Although topical skin care is important, a balanced diet is essential to maintain beautiful and healthy skin tissue.<\/p>\n
THE\u00a0Dr. Marcella Garcez<\/strong>, list\u00a010 foods to improve the quality of your skin<\/strong>. Check it out:<\/p>\n Skincare products are increasingly sought after by those who want to have beautiful and healthy skin. However, topical products alone are not enough to achieve the skin of your dreams. Your diet also plays a significant role in this goal.<\/p>\n \u201cA balanced diet is one of the main things that helps to keep your skin beautiful, young and hydrated. It is the foods you eat regularly that define the appearance and quality of your skin tissue, not just in a month, but also in one or two years,\u201d explains Dr. Marcella Garcez, nutritionist and professor at the Brazilian Association of Nutrition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, it is important to remember that there is no point in eating foods that help improve skin health. \u201cIdeally, you should maintain a balanced diet and consume a large amount of fruits and vegetables to keep your skin looking beautiful and healthy and your body functioning properly,\u201d warns the specialist.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rich in fiber and low in calories, kale is extremely nutritious, containing vitamins A, B6, C and K, minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium, and also bioactive sulfur and nitrogen compounds. \u201cTherefore, kale has high antioxidant and detoxifying properties, helping to reduce skin hyperpigmentation and stimulate collagen production and cell renewal. As a result, the skin becomes more uniform, and it is also an important adjuvant in the treatment of acne scars,\u201d highlights Dr. Marcella.<\/p>\n There are several products on the market that contain retinol, an active ingredient derived from vitamin A that is known for fighting acne and reducing wrinkles and expression lines. The problem is that the ingredient can irritate the skin, causing redness and flaking, especially in people with sensitive skin. \u201cThe alternative is to consume foods rich in beta-carotene, such as sweet potatoes, since the substance is converted into vitamin A by the body. Vitamin A from sweet potatoes is able to protect the skin against depigmentation, clogged pores and inflammation caused by free radicals,\u201d says the nutritionist.<\/p>\n Lemon has a number of benefits, acting as a natural astringent capable of firming and lightening the skin. However, its topical use is not recommended, because its acidity can cause blemishes and burns on the skin when exposed to the sun. However, according to the specialist, lemon can also work miracles for the skin when ingested, as it is capable of increasing collagen production, fighting free radicals and reducing acne scars. \u201cEven lemon peel has beneficial properties. Studies show that the flavonoids present in lemon peel are anticarcinogenic, that is, they prevent the formation of tumors,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cRich in enzymes and alpha-hydroxy acids, pumpkin is able to soften the skin and restore its pH. In addition, because it contains a large amount of fiber and zinc, the food also helps to regulate the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands present in the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite their small size, fruits such as strawberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are extremely beneficial for the skin, as they are rich in polyphenols and other antioxidants such as Vitamin C. \u201cTherefore, in addition to helping to even out skin tone and combat free radicals, red fruits also improve brain health, lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar levels and intestinal activity and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes,\u201d highlights the doctor.<\/p>\n Foods with a high glycemic index, such as chocolate, rice and flour, cause a spike in blood sugar levels because they are quickly absorbed by the body, which can lead to the appearance of blackheads and pimples, as well as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and stroke. So, if you want to see clear skin, the ideal is to bet on foods with a low glycemic index, such as chickpeas, beans, lentils and peanuts. \u201cIn addition to preventing the appearance of acne and other diseases, low glycemic index foods also promote greater satiety after meals, delaying the onset of hunger and preventing obesity\u201d, observes Dr. Marcella Garcez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to the nutritionist, papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which is capable of promoting cell renewal, unclogging pores, moisturizing the skin, reducing acne scars and even preventing the appearance of blackheads and pimples. \u201cThe fruit is also rich in nutrients such as potassium, magnesium and vitamins A and C, which help improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One cup of cooked quinoa has 17 to 27 grams of fiber, which helps your intestines work better and reduces constipation. This will help eliminate toxins from your body regularly, resulting in clear, even skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fish are rich in omega-3, a type of fat that can protect the skin from sun damage, thus preventing premature aging and the appearance of skin cancer and blemishes. \u201cYou can get omega-3 by eating fish such as anchovies, sardines, croaker and mackerel. However, the best source of omega-3 is wild salmon with skin, which is also rich in antioxidants, protein, vitamin B, potassium and selenium,\u201d recommends the specialist.<\/p>\n \u201cA source of fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, folate and vitamins B6, C and K, cauliflower is rich in a powerful amino acid called histidine, which, like omega-3, prevents ultraviolet rays from causing damage to the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Source \u2192 Guiadasemana<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apesar dos cuidados t\u00f3picos com a pele serem importantes, uma alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o balanceada \u00e9 fundamental para manter o tecido cut\u00e2neo bonito e saud\u00e1vel.
