Nutritious food

Your skin projects the overall health of your body and hence, any disturbance inside the body affects the skin.

Eating right is of utmost importance. It sends the right nutrition to your blood, purifying it, which in turns helps the body.

Do cut fat completely from your diet; it is the lubricating factor and also gives glow to your skin.

Exercise

Exercise often, you lose toxins from your body, which should be substituted by right balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Water

Our skin comprises of 60 per cent water. Thus it is imperative to drink enough water to keep that level to avoid unhealthy and dry skin

Are you saying yes cut fat from your diet? Limit fat intake and the correct types of fat that's healthy. Our bodies NEED some fat in our diets! Smile

Good fats are needed in our diets.

What type of fat is "Good"?

Non-saturated fat - both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. This type of fat or oil has numerous health benefits.

In the 1960s, Americans ate 45% of their calories from fat – and only 13% of us were obese. Now, while most of us get only about 33% of our calories from fat, 34% of us qualify as obese.

Interesting.

The total amount of fat you eat, whether high or low, isn't really linked with disease. What really matters is the type of fat you eat.
The "bad" fats—saturated and trans fats—increase the risk for certain diseases. The "good" fats—monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats—lower disease risk. The key to a healthy diet is to substitute good fats for bad fats—and to avoid trans fats.
