Beauty Foods...

Wild salmon: A primo source for omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce skin inflammation, preventing redness, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. It's also potent in antioxidants and vitamins B and D.

Low-fat yogurt: in one word, calcium. Good for strong bones, nails, and teeth. One cup of plain, low-fat yogurt has more calcium than a glass of skim milk.

Oysters: The best source of zinc, period. Zinc helps build collagen, which support the structure of skin and speeds up repair and renewal.

Blueberries: Full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that prevent long-term cell damage. 

Sweet potatoes: Chock full of beta-carotene, something the body converts to vitamin A, which keeps skin smooth and is thought to prevent against sun damage.

Spinach: This nutrient-dense leafy green is a great source of beta-carotene and lutein, which protects the eyes.


Tomatoes: Perhaps the only vegetable best eaten processed. Tomatoes are a major source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant also thought to protect against sunburn. 

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
