Foods That'll Keep Your Skin Clear!

These foods will add to your skin's health, and not just be okay for it. Keeping my skin healthy is my #1 beauty priority.

1) Anything Dark Green and Leafy
This includes Kale,  Collard Greens, Mustard Greens and Turnip Greens. If you can eat 50% of your caloric intake from these vegetables, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your skin.

2) Healthy Fats
Not potato chips or pizza. Avocado and Walnuts and Chia Seeds. These foods contain omega 3 fats which help to digest health foods (like kale).

3) Lots of Fresh Fruits
Not only are you adding lots of fiber to your diet along with tons of vitamins, you are also filling up your stomach so you won't be hungry for those high calorie, low nutritious foods! It's a double win!

4) Legumes
They're high in protein!

FOODS TO AVOID!

1) Dairy Products. 
The consumption of dairy has been linked with hormonal imbalances, which can lead to acne. 

2) Other Animal Products. 
They also contain hormones which lead to acne, and even additional mood swings and pain during menstruation. 

3) Sugary Foods. 
Yes. Good looking skin sometimes requires sacrifices. Try to limit the sweeties to one serving a day. And if you can do that easily, try to limit them to one serving every other day, or as my family does it, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only.
