free , without blemishes or acne , taut and full of vigor. To maintain and

 Oranges contain vitamin C which is most essential to protect your skin from
harmful ultraviolet rays . This Vitamin helps in preventing wrinkles by
producing collagen in the skin. Eat one whole fruit ( not just juice) everyday,
regularly for beneficial effects.
Sunflower seeds contain essential fatty acids which help skin secrete natural
oils that lubricate it and prevent water loss. This helps keep skin soft
and supple, improve hair texture and reduce blackhead formation . Take three
teaspoons twice a week or use sunflower oil to cook your food in.
 Papayas are a low calorie fruit filled with the goodness of carotenoids
releasing vitamin A. They have an anti oxidant effect and help in maintaining
younger looking skin. One bowl ( apx. 200- 250 grams ) of fruit a day is
enough.
Whole Grains are a source of Vitamins of the B group. They help in replacing
dead cells in the skin and in fighting skin infections. Niacin in whole
grain helps skin cells to absorb nutrients and release energy. In order
to increase intake, simply replace your normal white breads with whole grain
bread , biscuits and pasta with whole grain products.
Green Tea is loaded with flavonoids and antioxidants. They prevent skin
from UV rays and free radical chemicals in the atmosphere, prevent wrinkle
formation and remove blemishes from the skin. Take Green tea without milk
boiled in hot water twice a day to enjoy the beneficial effects.
Pulses are a rich source of proteins that help skin glow. They contain biotin
which also helps in controlling hair loss. Simply cook well in boiling water
to release nutrients and enjoy a protein rich meal.
Aloe Vera is considered a miracle plant with multifarious positive effects
on the human body. The juice of this plant is very beneficial for patchy
irritated skin, helps prevent acne and skin pigmentation. Simply take 30-40
ml of juice daily for better skin. However do not extract juice from raw
pulp but take the juice available at chemists in pre-packaged form. Raw
pulp if ingested without processing can contain some harmful ingredients
which can cause stomach upsets and more.
Go ahead and incorporate the above foods in your diet and experience smooth,
wrinkle free skin. You may note that simply taking minerals and vitamins
in pills will not help the skin. It is the hidden nutrients in the fruits
that are a must have.
