Keep reading for the one food you should add to your diet right away for younger looking skin!
Salmon
Salmon is a superfood that can help you achieve a more youthful complexion.
According to HuffPost, salmon helps your skin look and feel its best. Dr. Rachel Nazarian of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York explained to HuffPost: "When you have a high level of good fat in your body it feeds the skin and allows the skin to make this healthy oil and allows the skin to be healthier. That’s what gives skin the glow."
Salmon not only help you get a glow. It can also help fight wrinkles.
The article continues, "The reason the omega-3 found in salmon is so great for skin, Nazarian explained, is because it helps to calm inflammation, which can lead to a breakdown of collagen and elastin, both of which keep skin looking youthful."
According to The Daily Meal, the protein in salmon also contributes to its skin benefits: "Protein provides a building block of collagen—a skin compound that is critical to how healthy your skin looks."
With that in mind, adding salmon to your diet is a great way to take care of your skin. Learning new ways to incorporate this superfood into your diet is important. To get started, try this honey garlic salmon recipe and this baked salmon with lemon recipe.
