Water ...

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.

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.

5

Nuts ...

Both nuts and wheat germ are chock-full of biotin, a nutrient known for making hair and nails strong and resilient.

8

Melon ...

Both berries and melon are low-sugar fruits and help to make skin firm and taut. It's important to avoid high-sugar foods, including high-sugar fruits like pineapple and banana. "[Foods with a lot of sugar] cause your blood sugar to rise, which makes insulin come into your system and sets off a chain of hormonal reactions."

-says Ryba
Those hormonal reactions can make your body retain water and increase inflammation, both of which contribute to puffiness and tired-looking skin.

my face is going heavy day by day..tell me the tips to make it slim.

hi, i am 23 yrs old and have acne, which is very embarrassing. i have cut out my social circle n avoid my frens. what food should i take to have clear glowing skin? please help...

hi my face just started to look dull,rough and pimple starts pupping out when i start to get very busy with my job, they say that i was stressed thats why this signs are coming out of my face,but i cant stop working, i need to work for income. please help me...

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 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?

Hi.. im mother of 3 kids, and im 32 years old. my problem is my skin dry and my face no more look younger and fresher.. how can i solve my problem?

Dear Suzi, All the foods, except Salmon will be fantastic for your skin, hair and nails. Avocado is also fantastic for the skin - it fights free radicals and hydrates skin from within. Try to have an organic avocado a day for 2 weeks and you'll see the difference! Good luck, gorgeous!
