3 super foods help your skin look younger

3 super foods help your skin look younger

Blueberries
This little berry has so many health benefits that we don't know where to start. Its rich vitamin C content aids blood circulation and provides minerals and salts, which help the body to fight ageing. Also, as it is high in potassium — found in all fruits and veggies — fluid balance in cells is regulated, thus combating puffiness and fluid retention.

Avocado
Everyone loves avocados, which is good news. They are high in vitamin E and are a rich source of skin-protective antioxidants, essential for glowing skin and shiny hair. These wonder fruits also have a high folate content, which is important for skin cell regeneration and will give you a more youthful complexion.

Kidney beans
Pulses, particularly kidney beans, are packed with fibre, potassium and zinc. All these help to reduce cholesterol and protect against heart disease. But their big winner is protein: weight-dried beans contain as much protein as fillet steak, but have more health benefits. Add cold to a salad or include any time you make a vegetable chilli.
