Your body reacts externally to the food you eat. What you eat and how you eat, these things affect your lifestyle as well as your skin. If you eat well, your skin will automatically glow from within. But if you eat pro-inflammatory foods, it can cause inflammation in the skin. There are many foods that can make your skin glow and cause acne breakouts by inflaming your skin. Let’s know about some foods that keep wrinkles and dark spots away from the skin.

Whenever wrinkles start to appear on our skin, we assume that it is due to collagen deficiency and start taking collagen supplements. There is no doubt that the lack of collagen can cause loose skin. But for that, apart from just supplements, you can also take some food items.

Kalpana Solanka, Dermatologist and Consultant, Clinique Dermatech, shares 3 foods to reduce wrinkles and dark spots on the skin.

These 3 foods protect your skin from wrinkles and dark spots

almond

You should take almonds in afternoon snacks to eliminate appetite and reduce wrinkles, because almonds contain anti-wrinkle properties.

A study conducted on a group of postmenopausal women examined the effects of almond consumption on various skin parameters. The results of this study show that daily consumption of almonds reduces the severity of wrinkles and the speed of changes in facial complexion. This is due to the antioxidant components like vitamin E present in almonds.

In the study, the group that ate almonds daily for 16 weeks had 16% fewer wrinkles compared to those who did not eat almonds. They also saw a 20% reduction in dark spots.

Salmon

Salmon is also great for your skin care as it is rich in proteins, fatty acids and antioxidants.

Omega-3 fatty acids increase skin hydration, protect skin from UV damage, reduce photo-aging and help provide photoprotection. But fatty acids alone are not effective. It contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant. It’s a free-radical-fighting powerhouse that hydrates skin, increases elasticity, improves skin texture and helps reduce fine lines.

Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is considered beneficial for skin health due to its various properties. It contains protein that helps maintain collagen, which is important for keeping skin looking young. Additionally, Greek yogurt is a source of probiotics, which maintain a healthy gut microbiome.

A balanced microbiome helps achieve healthy skin by controlling inflammatory responses and reducing skin problems such as acne and eczema.
