#6 - No, I didn't just eat that whole turkey... I don't know what you're talking about....
Yes, the holidays rock, we know. But don't go too crazy stuffing your face with the deliciousness that is Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some eat healthy tips that will, in turn, pay off on your skin. And, in a truly different spirit, we're just going to tell you what you should eat, and not what you shouldn't. And we are aware that you are currently reaching for a bite of that pumpkin pie. It's ok, pumpkin's got great moisturizing properties!
1. Remember your yogurt: Yogurt is a great dairy product to get into the habit of eating. It's packed with vitamin A, which is important in keeping your skin looking its best.
2. Sure, take seconds from the fruit bowl: As long as your taking a lot of blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries. These fruits have lots of antioxidants to help your skin fight off that pesky thing called aging.
3. Try to wedge some other good antioxidant power into your holiday feast: Beans, artichokes, and pecans also have high amounts of antioxidants.
4. Fat is flavor: And it's good for you as long as we are talking about healthy Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Need some ideas on foods that carry these great fats? Think salmon, walnuts, canola oil, and flax seed.
5. Oil is good: When cooking your holiday meal, or preparing dressing for salads, remember to include some healthy oils. Look specifically for oils that are labeled cold pressed or expeller processed. Just remember to eat everything in moderation... even if that dressing is scrumptious!
