Foods that are perfect for a Healthy Lifestyle



Many think that shedding a few pounds is something that will be easy and quick, but that's where they go wrong. It has to be about a change in your lifestyle, and in this blog I will give a few tips on what are some of the best foods that can lead you in the right direction to a healthier way of living.


Foods heavy in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, herring, and trout play a key role in keeping our skin smooth. They provide our skin with oils that lubricate and reduce inflammation, which often leads to redness, acne, and scaly skin.


Sweet Potatoes are rich in beta-carotene and, when ingested, are converted into vitamin A, a prime factor in keeping skin soft. And just a little tip, if Sweet Potatoes is not your thing, carrots are great for this as well.


Melons are heavy in carotenoids, which help protect your skin from sunburn.


Many foods with lots of Vitamin C, like kiwi, oranges, and grapefruit are a big skin saver. They stimulate collagen synthesis and protect against wrinkles.


Flaky scalps are often due to low levels of zinc. Oysters are the best food source of zinc, keeping your hair and scalp healthy, if oysters aren't your thing, try dark-meat chicken, turkey, crab, dairy, or beans as an alternate source of zinc.


These are just a few foods that could not only help you shed a few pounds, but have you glowing from head to toe!
