Eat more veggies to help reduce cellulite.
A diet rich in vitamins and minerals will show in your skin.
For example, veggies that naturally contain Vitamin C such as capsicum, tomatoes, broccoli & kale will boost your collagen levels to leave your skin feeling supple.
Veggies containing antioxidant-rich vitamins A & E such as carrots, chard, sweet potatoes and pumpkin will help to protect against free-radicals and toxins (that are known to accelerate the ageing process, making skin look more ‘tired’) and vitamin E can also help to protect against sun damage.
And let’s not forget spinach, wild mushrooms, green peas and carrots which are all great sources of selenium. Selenium is a trace mineral that will help to increase skin elasticity and firmness and can also provide protection from sun damage as well as reducing the effects of sun damage that has already happened.
The ideal amount is 800 grams of fruit and veggies a day. Which means it’s best to incorporate them into every meal, including brekkie.
So eat that rainbow for gorgeous skin! P.S, in most cases veggies are most nutritious when eaten raw or lightly cooked, so avoid over-cooking!
