Top 5 Fruits that will Give You Healthy, Glowing Skin

Its’ no doubt about it that our diet and what we put into our bodies directly affects our overall health AND skin! Did you know our skin is the largest organ on the body?! Which means it makes sense that it responds to anything and everything we do to it.

With it being a new year, some people have new year’s resolutions, health & fitness goals, or dieting goals like eating healthier, eating less, drinking less alcohol, or cutting down on some of their favorite treats. So, this is the perfect time to review our Top 5 fruit picks that we know will lead you in the direction of healthy, glowing skin!

1. Blueberries! Are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. Our bodies function well off the vitamins it needs to be strong and vitamin c, vitamin k, vitamin b, and vitamin e are all present in blueberries. Blueberries also contain fiber to help improve collagen, tighten the skin for a firmer appearance and improve the skin’s overall complexion.

2. Strawberries! Are loaded with vitamin c and full of protein; they can help to improve the skin’s elasticity (can improve loose, saggy skin). Strawberries contain traces of salicylic acid which is known to help clear the skin up from acne and breakouts. So, the next pimple that shows up, instead of popping it and leaving a scar, try taking a bite of some strawberries and letting the fruit do the healing!

3. Avocados! Are loaded with vitamin c and vitamin e which are great antioxidants that help heal the skin and reduce early signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Avocados can also help absorb stubborn body fat. If you’re dealing with some stubborn sun damage or annoying scars caused by environmental factors like pollution, etc. then try slicing up some avocados to treat and heal your skin leaving it blemish free in a healthy, refreshing way.

4. Bananas! Can help to rejuvenate and re-energize your skin. Bananas are loaded with potassium, calcium, and magnesium which can all help to actually keep your skin feeling moisturized better. Dealing with dry skin with some scarring? Try eating a banana to nourish that dry skin and minimize the appearance of some of your dark spots.

5. Pineapples! Are high in vitamin c, minerals and enzymes and can also help with symptoms like bloating. This fruit is great for those with a lot of acne or breakouts and dull skin that lacks color. Pineapples can be very healing to the skin due to the enzymes so they can help to clear up acne, reduce hyperpigmentation, and can brighten up dull skin that’s been lacking luster.

*BONUS: We couldn’t get to the end of this blog without throwing in a bonus fruit... a well-known fruit found in many products… LEMONS! Lemon is very high in vitamin c and is commonly found on ingredient labels for brightening the skin, treating breakouts, killing acne-causing bacteria, fading dark spots from sun damage, hyperpigmentation or melasma, and have been known to boost collagen production and help reduce inflammation & calm the skin. So whether you're sipping on a glass of water with lemon slices added or exfoliating with a lemon-based scrub at home your skin will see great improvements!

So, in the long run eating these top 5 fruits (and maybe some others you love daily) will lead you to healthy, radiant, and youth-full looking skin. Of course, there’s so many more incredible benefits to maintaining fruit in your diet everyday like overall better gut health, reduced risks of other common diseases of the body (like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease to name a few).

So, in this New Year commit to taking care of your body AND skin every single day! A healthy diet is key to long lasting youthful looking skin; and the secret to aging gracefully. It takes more time AND money to correct skin like sun damage, acne, or heavy wrinkles compared to doing the preventive steps NOW and reaping the long-term benefits! So, the next time you feel like you have run out of options for healing your skin concerns I hope you’ll refer back to this blog for some helpful tips and share this blog with a friend who might find this helpful on their skincare journey.
