Hi Beauties!
It’s Wednesday better known around these parts as Wellness Wednesday.. What’s wellness Wednesday you ask?! It’s the day of the week where we share some wellness tips with you to help you better tend to your overall health and wellness.
This week we’re focusing on how having a well balanced diet (eating habits) can benefit your overall skin health.
Here are 5 reasons why your eating habits matter and are in direct correlation to your skin.
- Provides essential nutrients: A balanced eating habit can provide your body with essential nutrients that are important for skin health. For example, vitamins C and E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids can all help to nourish and protect the skin.
- Promotes healthy skin cell function: The foods you eat can also affect the function of your skin cells. A balanced eating habit that includes a variety of whole foods can help to promote healthy skin cell function and improve the overall health of your skin.
- Helps to maintain skin elasticity: Collagen is a protein that is essential for maintaining skin elasticity. A balanced eating habit that includes foods that are rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, can help to support collagen production and maintain skin elasticity.
- Reduces inflammation: Some foods can cause inflammation in the body, which can lead to skin problems like acne and eczema. A balanced eating habit that includes anti-inflammatory foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can help to reduce inflammation and improve skin health.
- Supports healthy gut microbiome: The health of your gut microbiome can also impact the health of your skin. A balanced eating habit that includes foods that are rich in fiber, such as whole grains and fruits, can help to support a healthy gut microbiome and improve skin health.
Overall, having a balanced eating habit is important for overall skin health. It can provide your body with essential nutrients, promote healthy skin cell function, maintain skin elasticity, reduce inflammation, and support a healthy gut microbiome.
