Power Foods to Revive your Skin for Spring Via: StyleList

It is officially spring, in most areas anyhow, here in the cooler area of the country we are still living indoors breathing the same stale air locked in from months past.  We, of course, follow a nice clean diet and drink our morning shake, detailed below, which helps keep us feeling and looking younger.  I did enjoy reading this post on the site Stylelist.com regarding which power foods to eat to revive your skin for spring, who doesn’t want to have vibrate glowing skin, that is what I strive for.

The start of a colorful dish

One thing that I did enjoy reading was the pointers on what not to eat for nice looking skin and why.. here is a snippet from the article, but I suggest you read the piece in it’s entirety.

“You really are what you eat, and your skin reflects this. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can make your skin glow, help clear up acne and fight aging and sun damage. Likewise, meals laden with trans-fats, white flour, sugar and chemicals can leave your complexion looking dry, dull and lackluster.

Try throwing a few dark greens into a smoothie (you won’t even taste them, promise). Opt for a piece of salmon instead of a burger next time you go out. And ditch the fat-filled desserts and replace with a bowl of seasonal berries. Not only will you look better, you will feel better too!…

…Just like there are certain foods to include in your diet, there are plenty of ones to avoid if you want a healthy looking complexion. Among Irwin’s worst foods for your skin are white sugar, white flour, anything with trans-fats, processed foods, sugary drinks, deep-fried foods, baked goods, pizza and simple carbs. All of these can contribute to inflammation. They also contain insulin and lepton, which are major accelerators of the aging process.“
