Green juice consisting of spinach, coriander, mint leaves, amla and ginger or carrot, apple and beetroot juice or a simple gourd juice, can really help you get all those vitamins and also detox your body. Also, the antioxidants present in these vegetables help in fighting the free radical damage and gives an amazing boost to your body’s eliminator system.

  • Include omega-3 fatty acids.

A healthy membrane helps in keeping the skin soft, young and wrinkle-free.

  • Cut down on your caffeine intake.

Many people cannot substitute their morning cup of coffee with anything. But caffeine dehydrates the body, and can also make your skin look dull and aged. It can heighten your stress response and worsen your acne, like cortisol, a stress hormone increases the oil production in sebaceous glands making our skin more prone to breakouts. Moreover, caffeine also creates interference with the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

  • Load up on fresh fruits and vegetables.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are your best friend when it comes to keeping your health in good shape. Yellow fruits like mangoes, lemon and oranges encourage collagen growth. They also protect your skin against free-radical damage. The blue ones like blueberries, blackberries, and plums help in dealing with skin infections and are great antioxidants. The red ones, like tomatoes, bell peppers and watermelons protect from sun damage and lastly, the green ones like spinach, cabbage, broccoli are great for vitamin C and folate. Includes at least 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet each day.

  • Fermented foods.

Fermented foods play an important role in keeping the gut in good health. The correct level of good bacteria in your gut helps in better absorption of food and support clear skin. Include more fermented idli, khaman, yoghurt, and kefir.

Over to you.
