How To Eat Your Way To Beautiful Skin

During Summer we all want beautiful skin, however sometimes bad habits can get the better of us. But, don't worry even though lotions and potions are great and smell lovely, the very best way to get beautiful skin is from the inside out, which means eating a skin friendly, healthy diet that you can use all year round....

Water Works

You should drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin clear and bright. Aim for about six glasses a day to keep your levels topped up and avoid any fizzy drinks, which are full of sugar

Fresh & Fruity

You should try to eat at least five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables every day. Skin friendly superfoods include carrots, broccoli, apricots, strawberries, watercress and oranges. They're also great for the rest of your body, too.

Great News

Experts can't find any evidence to link eating chocolate with having problem skin, so you can still indulge in the occasional choc-attack.

Perfect Daily Meal Plan

It's important not to skip meals - a regular, healthy diet can work wonders on your skin and give you lots of energy...

Breakfast - Start with a glass of fresh juice, wholegrain cereal with chopped banana and milk, followed by toast and honey.

Lunch - Make a cheese or ham sandwich on wholemeal bread with salad followed by yogurt and fruit.

Dinner - Go for grilled chicken and a baked potato with fresh vegetables, followed by fresh fruit salad with yogurt and nuts.

Snacks - Don't go hungry between meals, if you feel peckish try a healthy snack to keep you going; fruit, nuts, vegetable sticks, crackers, yogurt or a slice of wholemeal toast are far more better for you than sweets and crisps.
