Good, healthy food makes you feel good and look good from the inside out.
Summer brings so many healthy food options. There’s an abundance of fresh produce, including many natural beauty foods.
“Summer produce generally tends to have a high water content,” says Michelle Dudash, RD, author of Clean Eating for Busy Families. “That helps keep you hydrated, which minimizes wrinkles because it’s plumping up your skin.”
Plus, warm weather begs for lighter meals and preparation methods, which may help slim you down.
“We tend to eat a lot of summers produce raw or grilled, which lightens it up,” Dudash says. “Many summer foods have a lower carbohydrate content than starchy winter root vegetables, yet they still have fiber, so they’re filling, but without a high carb load to bog you down.”
Try these summer beauty foods that help you feel good, slim down, and have healthy skin.
