8 Foods That Make You Gorgeous!

We all know that eating the right foods keeps our figures slim and trim. But did guys know that eating the right nutrients can also make our skin glow and hair shine?

“I can tell when my clients are eating well and drinking their water, their eyes look clear and their skin looks great!”

- says Sara Ryba, RD, CDN, a nutritionist in private practice in New York City.

So, reading this line I thought why don’t we kill two birds with one stone and get both slimmer and more gorgeous at the same time?

Here are Ryba’s 8 beauty foods, which, she promises, will help us look our very best!

#1 Water …

It’s true that gulping down loads of water will help your skin look its prettiest.

“Water helps your skin by getting by-products out of your body.”

-says Ryba, respected nutritionist

By drinking lots of water, you’re helping your kidneys function better, which in turn helps skin avoid a sallow, tired look.

#2 Salmon …

#3 Flaxseed …

#4 Avocado …

All 3 foods contain omega-3 fatty acids, compounds that help reduce inflammation in the body. That reduction in inflammation helps combat problems like puffy eyes, pronounced fine lines, and sagging skin. Be sure to buy wild, not farmed salmon, to get the best fatty acids. Grind your flaxseeds before sprinkling them on yogurt or cereal for the most benefit.

    I am 55 and repeatedly told that I look about 40-45.
    these are my suggestions for good skin.
    It is a combination of eating healthy, vitamin supplementation,
    drinking alot of water, exercise and moisturizing and ... See more avoiding the sun and getting 8 hours of sleep a night.
    your diet needs to be rich in Vit A, C, E, K and B vitamins.
    Good foods that contain these are cantalope, berries, tomatoes,
    spinach and fish especially salmon.
    Take vitamin supplements as well because we don’t always get enough of these vitamins in our diet.
    Also drink about 80 ozes of water a day.
    exercise: walk or do aerobics and free weights.
    always use a moisturizer and skin serum.
    Avoid the sun and alcohol.

    The trick to eating less is to make yourself think that you haven’t changed a thing. If raisins aren’t a part of your diet, you are missing out on an important beauty food. Check out ... See more your favorite food and see how it comes to your aid… in the beauty department.

    I used to eat nuts eg walnut, cashew, pistachio, almonds but the raw unsalted unfried ones almost everyday for breakfast. And I have acne problems. My friend told me that nuts are actually “heaty”. So ... See more when I stopped having the nuts, my acne appears to get lesser. Although at the same time I do go for regular facials too. I still do have nuts but not everyday. I guess my face is oily and nuts contributed to the oil reproduction, does it sound right?

      Hey Yatee. Welcome to All Women Stalk!

      There is a dispute among medical practitioners about whether or not certain foods can cause acne breakouts. So honestly, I’m not sure. But if abstaining from nuts ... See more helps lessen your acne, then good for you! Besides, food reactions differ for everyone. Know what works for you and stick with it. If you really want to understand the connection between food and acne, then an online search or a talk with a doctor is where you might find useful information.

    I’m a vegan, so the post about salmon doesn’t help me so much. Is there any (non meat, dairy, or egg) food that has similar benefits to Salmon? Thanks! :D

    Fish is super important for the Omega 3′s! If you don’t like fish, you should be taking an Omega 3 supplement! It’s really great for your skin!

    Dear Abhishek,

    Red meat is not the best food, try to cut it to one meal a week. Salmon could be a great substitute, but in case you need your meat, go for ... See more chicken, it’s much better for the skin! Oh, and try to eat as many veggies as possible, they too help a lot!

    My favorite beauty food is oatmeal – the skin looks so much better once you start having it for breakfast – the complexion improves tremendously!

    My favorite kind is Erewhon Organic Instant Oatmeal with added oat bran (absolutely organic) – you can find it in Whole Foods – it tastes great, especially with organic butter and organic honey – you can also cut add half an apple into it (cut into pieces, without skin) – you’ll love it and so will your skin! I promise :)

    PS: and Vitamins Guide is absolutely right, raisins are also a great food! You can too add them to your oatmeal! :)

    Thank you!
