One, high vitamin C fruits.
Vitamin C is the "everlasting beauty product". If you want to have healthy and bright skin that is not easily sunburned, almost every dermatologist will recommend you to eat 2-3 servings of high vitamin C fruits every day, such as guava, kiwi, strawberry, cherry tomatoes, or citrus fruits.
Two, soy products.
Isoflavones in soybeans are a type of plant estrogen that also has antioxidant abilities. They are essential for women to maintain glossy and tender skin.
Tofu and soy milk (without sugar) are good choices among soy products, while other processed soy products like dried tofu and soy skin have much higher calories than regular tofu. 100 grams of traditional tofu contains about 50-88 calories, but Japanese fried soy skin contains 385 calories, so it's better not to consume too much.
Three, green tea.
A study in the United States has shown that drinking green tea or using skincare products with green tea ingredients can reduce the peroxides caused by sun exposure, which cause skin sunburn, sagging, and roughness, by about 1/3.
General health-conscious people can drink 2-4 cups of tea a day, and they can also switch to different types of tea.
Four, yellow and red fruits and vegetables.
Red, orange, and dark green leafy vegetables, such as carrots, mangoes, tomatoes, papayas, and water spinach, contain a large amount of carotene and other phytochemicals, which contribute to antioxidant effects and enhance the skin's resistance.
Five, nuts.
When it comes to skin, the type of oil you consume can be either "angelic" or "demonic". Nuts mostly contain plant oil rich in vitamin E, which helps with antioxidant effects and the elimination of free radicals.
Moreover, if you usually eat white rice and white bread, it is recommended to replace them with whole grains because "the coarser you eat, the finer your skin becomes".
Six, hot cocoa.
Many scientific studies have exonerated chocolate and proven that it is a beneficial food for health. Chocolate contains various abundant antioxidants, such as cocoa polyphenols and flavonoids, which are beneficial to the skin when consumed in moderation.
Currently, you can buy 100% pure dark cocoa chocolate powder without added sugar and milk powder on the market. Just mix it with hot milk and add a little brown sugar, and you can enjoy a delicious and rich cup of hot cocoa.
