We all know the old saying “you are what you eat.” So the same goes for wanting healthy skin. Put healthy foods in and, along with a dialed skin care regime, you will have healthy looking, fantastic skin. The article “Foods For Healthy Skin<\/a>” was very thorough, yet concise on what the best choices are to achieve healthy skin through what you eat.<\/p>\n

For your convenience I have broken out the gist of what types foods are suggested. I’m including some tips and my favorites too.<\/p>\n

Low-fat dairy products<\/h4>\n

a low fat spreadable swiss cheese – The Laughing Cow has great cheese that comes in many different flavors.<\/p>\n

low fat yogurt – vanilla Wallabey Yogurt is so creamy and delicious it almost feels like a treat<\/p>\n

Milk – we are often told skim, but really the caloric difference for 1% is not so much and it tastes a lot less like milk flavored water. I like to add some chocolate flavored, 100% whey protein to an 8oz. glass in the morning.<\/p>\n

Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and plums<\/h4>\n

When out of season, go for the frozen variety. Since they are frozen at the peak of \u00a0freshness frozen berries are optimal in nutrients.<\/p>\n

Salmon, walnuts, canola oil, flax seed<\/h4>\n

Flax seeds can be added to anything from spaghetti sauce to oatmeal.<\/p>\n

If you don’t like the taste of walnuts, grind some up and add them to almost anything without really tasting them.<\/p>\n

Healthy oils (in moderation)<\/h4>\n

“cold pressed, expeller processed, or extra virgin are the ones to look for.”<\/p>\n

Whole wheat breads, muffins and cereals; turkey, tuna and brazil nuts<\/h4>\n

Granny’s Delight 100% whole wheat – found at Harmon’s, this bread packs in 6g fiber, 3g protein and only 80 calories per slice. It is made in Kaysville, UT as well – so for the Utahns reading this – it is local! When purchasing whole \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0wheat bread make sure that that is the first ingredient and look for \u00a05+ grams of fiber per slice.<\/p>\n

Green Tea<\/h4>\n

Any suggestions on brands would be appreciated – I have only tried Stash.<\/p>\n

Water<\/h4>\n

At least half of your body weight in ounces. So if you weigh 130 lbs, you should drink 65oz. The article points out the exact amount you should drink varies, I got this amount from a chiropractor who specializes in wellness.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of how to combine more than two of the above categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Yogurt with blueberries and a tablespoon of walnuts, and maybe even a tablespoon of flax seeds.<\/li>\n
  • Whole wheat bread with spreadable low-fat swiss cheese and tuna<\/li>\n
  • Salmon cooked in extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n
  • Sliced strawberries and blackberries with half a whole wheat muffin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    So those are just a few examples, the combinations can be as creative as you are.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
