10 Foods that will Moisturize Dry Skin, So You Can Heal from the Inside Out

12/9/2018

 
Did you know that eating certain foods will help prevent dry skin? Food might not be the first thing we think about when we are trying to relieve dry skin itchy skin, but just like the rest of the organs in our body, our skin also needs nutrients to stay healthy and repair itself. In fact, certain foods will not only help you keep hydrated, but they can also make your skin smooth and supple.

Foods high in salt or preservatives will make your skin dry and puffy. On the other hand, food rich in
​omega oils, like fish and flaxseed oil not only support brain health, but they will also keep your skin healthy and moist. Foods that are rich in antioxidants and silica such as whole grains and legumes will do the same. 
Eating the foods on this list will help keep your skin healthy, moist, strong and attractive
 1. Fish. Fatty fish such as salmon, herring, tuna, and trout contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which help retain moisture and strengthen your skin. An added bonus is that the omega oils in these fish will also help improve your mood. Believe me, omega 3 are amazing for mood stabilization. I have the best test subject at home - a teen son! and I see a big difference in his mood when he stops taking his omega 3 supplements a few days in a row.

​2. Nuts. A rich source of vitamin E, which protects the skin from oxidative damage and protects from UV ray damage.
3. Oysters. These are the food highest in zinc, which helps repair skin by producing collagen.
4. Avocado. It is also high in vitamin E, antioxidants and mono-saturated fat. Avocado helps reduce inflammation and keeps the skin moist.
​​5. Olive oil. Like avocado, olive oil contains vitamin E and monosaturated fats. And they are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. Olive oil also protects your skin against the damage caused by UV rays. And it helps prevent eczema and dryness.
6. Cucumbers. Rich in silica, cucumbers can increase moisture which leads to improving elasticity. Cucumbers also contain vitamin A and C which help soothe skin and fight oxidative damage
7. Sweet potatoes. High in beta-carotene, it is rich in vitamin A an excellent ingredient to help prevent dry skin, repair tissue damage and prevent premature aging

8. Horsetail (herb). This herb is rich in many nutrients and minerals, including calcium, iron, manganese, silica, and antioxidants. Therefore, it is anti-ageing and helps fight oxidative stress. Horsetail also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which helps treat acne, irritation, rashes, burns, and wounds
9.​ Nettle leaf (herb). An amazing herb, Nettle leaf is rich in Vitamin A, B, C, D, and K. It is a good source of iron, potassium, manganese, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, silica, iodine, silicon, sodium, and sulfur, and a good source of chlorophyll and tannin. It also has a high amount of proteins and amino acids. Because of its nourishing, antioxidant and

anti-inflammatory properties, nettle is a natural beautifier to skin and hair and helps treat acne, eczema, and it is anti-aging. As well as encourage thicker, shinier hair and new hair growth
10. Oat straw (herb).  Another herb rich in minerals and trace nutrients. It is rich in silica, a mineral that is active in building hair, skin, nails, teeth, and bones. Due to its silica content, it rejuvenates skin and prevents premature sagging, it makes your skin look soft and young which in turn helps keep your skin supple and increases its moisturizing capabilities
There is no food that will keep you looking young forever, but it is scientifically proven that the foods in this list will affect the health of your skin including how it looks and ages. So, take care to make sure you're getting enough essential nutrients to protect your skin every day. 
​Until next week,
Toni
