Try These 5 Healthy Foods For Glowing Skin

One bite at a time of the ingredients found in the supermarket next door can help in getting glowing skin, banishing wrinkles and keeping the skin fresh. The benefits that come from within the food items can very well justify the phrase "beauty comes from within."

As per the study published by the American Society of Clinical Nutrition, there was lower likelihood of a wrinkled appearance among middle aged American women who reported higher intake of vitamin C as compared to other women with lower intake of vitamin C.

Here are five best foods that will help nourish the skin from inside and out.

Strawberries

A lot of people believe that Orange is the best source of vitamin C in fruits but not many know that a cup of strawberries, which is 8-10 strawberries, contains 140 percent the RDA for Vitamin C, reports Fox News. This means a cup of strawberries contains more vitamin C than an orange (84mg vs 70mg). Vitamin C helps in producing collagen which aids in tightening the skin and soothing the fine lines.

Lentils

Lentils are a good source of calcium, proteins, carbohydrates, iron and vitamin B, reports BBC Good Food. Lentils are also rich in biotin, which along with B vitamins helps in healthy growth of hair. Lentils when incorporated in daily diet will show the differences not just in hair growth but also in skin texture and quality.

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate contains high levels of cocoa flavonols which keep the skin hydrated and improve blood circulation, reports Prevention.

Kale

Kale is the richest source of vitamin K per calorie. Vitamin K helps in clotting blood which ultimately helps in curing skin wounds and bruises.

Salmon

Salmon, which is a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids, can help improve skin's elasticity and reduce the risk of acne. Also, the Omega 3 fatty acids help protect against heart disease and lower the blood pressure.
