1. Salmon
Essential for a healthy functioning body, omega 3, helps nutrients to be absorbed during digestion and waste toxins to be removed, ultimately giving us more healthy looking skin. Rich in omega 3 oily fish, such as salmon, act as a natural detox, the perfect inclusion for any diet on a detox holiday.
2. Blueberries
Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, blueberries are a fantastic boost for your skin. Whilst its source of vitamin C produces collagen, which helps the growth of cells and gives skin its firmness, its powerful antioxidants help with dry skin and wrinkles. The ideal dietary addition for a healthy anti-ageing holiday, blueberries are fantastic for rejuvenating your skin.
3. Leafy Vegetables
Packed with antioxidants leafy greens such as kale, broccoli and spinach are rapidly growing in popularity, thanks to their diverse health benefits, including healthier skin and slimming superfood qualities. Full of vitamin A, which aids the turnover of skin cells, these green veggies see that your skin is renewed more quickly, leaving you fresh faced for everyone to see.
4. Garlic
Whilst garlic may not leave you with the freshest smelling breath, it does have its benefits. Full of Vitamin B6 and a chemical called allicin, this reacts with the blood and when digested kills off any viruses in the body, including skin conditions.
5. Nuts and Seeds
A powerful antioxidant, most nuts and seeds are full of vitamin E; particularly almonds, brazil nuts, pine nuts, hazel nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Best of them all are flax seeds; like salmon, they contain omega 3 fatty acids and, like vegetables, lots of magnesium which is important for skin repair.
