There is a joke that says, “Tempura is good even with sneakers.” Frying is not good for health, such as skin, but it is not easy to resist the temptation. Knowledge is power, but practice is more important. Try to eat as little fried food as possible. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Even the skin can’t stand the test of time. When you get older, it’s not the same as before. Skin that was once glossy becomes crumbly, acne appears, and wrinkles increase. If you experience acne or reddening of the nose, cheeks, or forehead (rosacea), the food you are currently eating may not suit your body.

For clean and healthy skin, it is better to reduce the intake of foods that raise blood sugar rapidly, such as salt, sugar, alcohol, and bread/cake. If your skin turns yellow, there is a high probability that you have liver problems. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), skin tags (soft dermatoma) or changes in skin texture are warning signs of diabetes.

According to a study published in the international journal Aging Cell, regular exercise slows down skin aging, while smoking accelerates skin aging. Isa Kujawski, founder and registered dietitian of Mea Nutrition, an American nutrition company, emphasized, “Supplying the skin with the nutrients it needs is the best way to promote a healthy glow and reduce the signs of skin aging.”

Raw, unprocessed, live foods are especially good for the skin. Cara Bernstein, a registered dietitian at the Pritikin Longevity Center in the US, said, “Fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants promote skin elasticity, hydration, and help reduce inflammation and damage.”

“On the other hand, ultra-processed foods such as pizza, fried foods, and chips have little nutritional value and can cause skin irritation,” she cautioned. Inflammation can cause a variety of problems, including acne, dry skin, and wrinkles.

A healthy person with no abnormalities such as kidneys should drink enough water regularly. This is to maintain skin balance and tissue function.

US health portal ‘Thehealthy’ introduced the ‘7 best foods to keep your skin young and healthy’ recommended by nutrition experts.

1. Oily Fish

Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, and herring contain plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for health, such as preventing heart disease. This ingredient is very helpful in preventing inflammation of the skin. A Japanese study (2011) showed that omega-3 fatty acids retain moisture and block harmful stimuli. It has been shown to be able to improve and protect the skin barrier function, an important component of smooth, youthful skin. Some plant foods, such as walnuts and flax seeds, also provide this beneficial fatty acid.

2. Eggs

According to a study published in ≪The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition≫, individuals who consume less protein tend to have weaker skin and more wrinkles. Protein is essential for making your own proteins, such as elastin and collagen, that keep your skin strong, supple, youthful and plump. Eggs are among the best sources of high-quality, complete protein.

3. Pumpkin

Excessive exposure to the sun increases the risk of premature aging of the skin. “Vitamin A is a good ingredient that protects the skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays,” said Bernstein Certified Dietitian. Vitamin A actually absorbs UV rays. Pumpkin, which is rich in vitamin A, also contains a lot of vitamin E and vitamin C. Vitamin A is also found in sweet potatoes and carrots.

4. Avocado

Avocados contain handfuls of nutrients for your skin. Avocados are high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, C and E. According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (2022), avocados contain beneficial ingredients such as lectins, zeaxanthin, and B vitamins. As you age, consuming these ingredients can help increase skin elasticity. Avocados from Peru, which were found to contain high pesticide residues, were banned from import.

5. Leafy greens

There is one more reason to add more spinach to your smoothies. Vitamin C, which is high in leafy vegetables, not only helps prevent skin damage from the sun, but is also essential for the body to make collagen. According to a study by Oregon State University in the United States, people who consume enough vitamin C tend to have better skin and noticeably less wrinkles. In addition to leafy vegetables, it is good to consume anti-aging fruits and vegetables such as apples, oranges, red bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.

6. Green Tea

Studies have shown that green tea improves skin moisture, roughness, thickness, and elasticity. In addition, according to a study published in ≪Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition≫ (2017), the antioxidant polyphenols in green tea help to keep the skin clean, such as getting rid of freckles.

7. Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is also good for your skin. It is desirable to eat dark chocolate with a cacao content of 70% or more. Higher amounts of flavanols and other antioxidants may help firm skin and reduce facial wrinkles, recent studies have shown. According to a study published in the ≪Nutrition Journal≫, the antioxidants in chocolate protect the skin from UV damage.
