Fruits and vegetables for healthy skin

      Head of the Department of Medical Prevention at GAUZ "RKKVD", Elena Tukhvatullina, on skin health.

      To maintain the health and beauty of the skin, vitamins and antioxidants that help counteract free radicals leading to premature aging are necessary. All of this is found in large quantities in vegetables and fruits.

      Free radicals damage cells, accelerating the aging process of the body, including the skin, which ultimately is reflected in appearance.

      To reduce the negative impact, you should consume several servings of vegetables and fruits a day, and it is best if they are of different colors, for example, a light salad with cucumbers, red and yellow tomatoes, and greens. Tomatoes contain lycopene — a powerful antioxidant that helps maintain skin softness and is beneficial for both women's and men's health. With regular consumption of cucumbers, the skin becomes hydrated, firm, velvety, skin tone evens out, and fine wrinkles smooth out.

      Beta-carotene and lutein are responsible for skin that glows from within. Beta-carotene is not produced by the body and comes only from vegetables and fruits. It is found in carrots, pumpkin, persimmon, red and yellow peppers. Lutein is found in oranges, mandarins, peaches, apricots, melon, kale and broccoli.

      Also, broccoli, tomatoes, citrus fruits, kiwi, black and red currants, blueberries, strawberries, and lingonberries are sources of vitamin C, which supports immunity in general and the skin in particular, strengthens blood vessel walls, speeds healing, and reduces the risk of post-acne consequences.

      In addition, vegetables and fruits provide the body with fiber, which in turn affects intestinal function by serving as food for beneficial microflora. Beneficial bifido- and lactobacteria contribute to normal digestion, absorption of nutrients and elimination of toxins from the body. And you, I think, have heard the phrase — "healthy gut — healthy skin."

      Creams and skincare products nourish the skin from the outside, but do not replace nourishment of the skin from within! Eat properly and stay healthy and beautiful!
