Foods that help against acne!

If you struggle with acne, incorporating certain foods into your diet is one of the most important factors in achieving healthier and clearer skin. Our cells are the building blocks of our bodies. So if we want healthy, vibrant and well-nourished cells, we must give our body healthy, vibrant and nourishing foods to make them.

One group of nutrients that may be particularly helpful for acne-prone skin are antioxidants. These substances help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to inflammation - a factor that is thought to play a role in the development of acne. By eating a diet rich in antioxidants, you may be able to reduce your risk of breakouts and improve the overall health of your skin.

Vitamins A, C, and E may be particularly effective in supporting healthy skin and reducing acne. Vitamin A helps regulate skin cell production and turnover, which may prevent clogged pores. Vitamin C and E are powerful antioxidants that work in combination to support the production of collagen and improves overall brightness and vitality of the skin.

To get your daily dose of these skin-loving vitamins, try incorporating these foods into your diet:

Green leafy vegetables

Leafy greens like kale, spinach, and collard greens are packed with antioxidants, as well as a variety of other nutrients including vitamins A, C, and E, minerals, and fiber.

Sweet potatoes

These tasty root vegetables are a good source of antioxidants, particularly beta-carotene, which can be converted to vitamin A in the body. They are also a good source of vitamin C and may help reduce inflammation and promote healthy skin.

Lemon

Lemons are a great source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help protect against free radical damage. Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice to your water or using it to flavor your dishes.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a good source of antioxidants, particularly beta-carotene, which can be converted to vitamin A in the body. It's also rich in other nutrients including vitamin C, and fiber.

Quinoa

This versatile grain is a good source of antioxidants, as well as protein, fiber, and other nutrients. It's also gluten-free, making it a great option for those with sensitivities. Quinoa is a good source of vitamin E and may help reduce inflammation and support healthy skin.

Salmon

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce the risk of heart disease. It's also a good source of protein and other nutrients, including vitamin E. We love salmon roasted in the oven, or smoked salmon in a salad or over toast.

Yellow and red fruits

Fruits like apricots, papayas, and red berries (such as strawberries and raspberries) are all high in antioxidants. These fruits are also rich in other nutrients including vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.

Cauliflower

This versatile vegetable is a good source of antioxidants, as well as vitamin C, vitamin K, and other nutrients. Cauliflower can be roasted, mashed, or used in a variety of dishes.

Nuts and cashews

Nuts are a good source of antioxidants, as well as healthy fats, protein, and other nutrients. Try incorporating a variety of nuts into your diet, such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews.

Avocado

Avocados are a great source of antioxidants, as well as healthy omega 3 fats, fiber, and other nutrients. Enjoy some avocado smashed up on toast, in a salad or you could also include avocado in your smoothies.
