Summertime Skin

Feeling skin-health challenged in the warmer months? Some food might play a role in the health of your skin. Add a few healthy bites to your diet to get your skin the important nutrients it needs:

 
Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna have oils that may help your skin stay moist.
Broccoli and other dark green, leafy vegetables have a healthy dose of nutrients such as vitamin C which may play a role in skin health.
Citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit have vitamin C and folic acid which may help your skin stay moist.
Whole grains—whole wheat bread, bran cereal, brown rice—have important B vitamins and zinc which may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Almonds and brazil nuts are loaded with vitamin B-6 and vitamin E, which may play a role in keeping the skin elastic as we age.
