Summer Foods for a Healthier You
Posted by Nida Faizi in Health and Beauty on Thursday, July 30, 2009 | 2 responses

Blueberries, peaches, strawberries, all your favorite fruits taste awesome! But besides keeping you healthy they can also deliver major beauty benefits.
"Fruits contain high levels of nutrients that improve skin, protect hair and even undo UV damage."
1. For A Firmer Skin: try a cup of whole strawberries, which provide vitamin-C, the nutrient essential for the production of collagen (skin's support structure). Vitamin C treatments are also used to tighten pores and lighten sunspots.

2. For A Glowing Complexion: the best summer source here is blueberries. They have tons of vitamin E which reinforces your skins natural barrier, keeping it hydrated and dewy. Mix blueberries in yogurt or add them to salads and over grilled chicken.

3. A Smoother Body: Peaches and apricots contain vitamin A which helps promote cell production, ridding the body of dead skin so that the skin feels more supple and softer than ever.

4. Avocados For Healthy Hair And Nails: taking care of your hair and nails reqiures essential fatty acids which help the body produce healthy oils that prevent them from getting brittle. Without these fatty acids the body produces large amounts of sebum which can clog hair follicles and slowdown nail growth.

5. Get Fewer Breakouts: You may be surprised to learn that the cure for breakouts is right there in your refigerator! Tomatoes contain the nutrient Lycopene, which helps prevent pimples and clogged pore. You can do a weekly tomato mask by placing thin tomato slices over your face for 10 to 15 minutes. Then slice up another tomato in half and rub over skin in small circles. Finally, rinse with warm water. The lycopene declogs pores and acts as a natural astringent to eliminate acne causing bacteria.

Lastly, remember to keep your body hydrated with lots of water. Have a happy and a healthy summer!
