Nutritionists offer tips on how to keep your skin healthy with a good diet
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Fish oils and vegetables head the list of anti-wrinkle foods that experts like Dr. Perricone recommend for dieters wanting to keep their skin looking young.
Pre-mature wrinkling, dry skin, roughness, eczema, rosacea and acne are all reflections that our inner health is "off".
In addition, in the deeper layers, a decrease of two proteins called collagen and elastin causes the skin to thin, wrinkle and sag.
Although the integrity of your skin is partially influenced by hereditary factors, other factors such as sunlight, smoking, eating inflammatory foods, harsh chemicals and stress can all accelerate the aging process.
In order to keep the look and feel of your skin young and radiant, it is best to consume as many anti-wrinkle foods as possible and to eliminate inflammatory foods that can accelerate the wrinkling process.
For better health and skin, it is best to eliminate foods such as packaged cookies, cereals, pop, margarine, red meats and full fat cheeses from the diet.
Similar to the way a conditioner coats a hair follicle, consuming a minimum of two to three grams of fish oils daily will increase the oiliness of your skin.

Step 3 -- Pump up the amount of fruits and vegetables you consume to approximately five to nine servings per day.
Step 5 -- Minimize dehydrators such as coffee, tea and sugary pops or drinks.
Focus on liquids that promote skin health such as berry herbal teas, distilled or reverse osmosis water with fresh squeezed lemon and green tea.
By filling your diet with colourful fruits and vegetables filled with plant nutrients, minerals and vitamins, supplementing with fish oils and drinking plenty of water -- your skin will soon become radiant and glowing.
