The foods that you put into your body will reflect both the size of your waistline and the amount of wrinkles on your skin. If you want to feed your skin delicious beauty, Burke suggests that you take a bite of these five succulent, skin-saving foods.
Fruit: Because fruit is mostly water, eating at least two to three servings daily keeps you hydrated, plus fruit contains natural sweetener (fructose) for energy and antioxidant vitamins and minerals that help combat free-radical damage. Some of the best are kiwi, fresh mango and citrus fruits.
Fish: Fatty fish contain antioxidant omega-3 fatty acids and are good sources of protein. Eat at least twice weekly.
Nuts: Walnuts, almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts are rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that promotes immunity and good health.
Vegetables: Focus on deeply colored orange (sweet potatoes, squash, carrots) and deep green (broccoli, spinach, collards, kale) ones. They're full of vitamin A and C, antioxidant nutrients.
Whole Grains: These have fiber, which promote satiety.
