Want more radiantly healthy-looking skin? Feed it! Research has shown that eating more of these five foods can help us to a beautiful complexion from the inside out, without resorting to costly\u00a0skincare<\/a>\u00a0products or formulas. Find out the top five foods to eat for healthier, more\u00a0beautiful skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In general, eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, protein, and whole grains will result in healthier skin, but the nutrients and compounds found in these five foods are particularly helpful:<\/p>\n

Organic\u00a0green tea<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 All teas are rich in skin-loving\u00a0antioxidants<\/a>, but\u00a0anti-inflammatory<\/a>\u00a0substances called catechins in\u00a0green tea<\/a>\u00a0are thought to be especially beneficial. According to Dr. Ray Shahelian, a study of 2,200 adults showed that regular green-tea drinkers (one or more cups per day) were 20 to 30 percent less likely to develop basal or squamous cell skin cancer than non-green-tea drinkers. A recent study by the director of research in the department of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University, Hasan Mukhtar, agreed that drinking\u00a0green tea<\/a>\u00a0may be helpful for warding off skin cancer and the visible\u00a0signs of aging<\/a>. Drink up!<\/p>\n

Olive oil<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Despite all the hype about the supposed benefits of fat-free diets, it turns out that we need essential\u00a0fatty acids<\/a>\u00a0for good health as well as for more elastic, dewy skin. Yes, certain kinds of fats are bad for us, so rather than using saturated or hydrogenated fats for cooking and eating, switch to extra-virgin organic\u00a0olive oil<\/a>: it is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats. \u201cGood\u201d fats strengthen our cell membranes, helping our skin to look nourished and radiant.<\/p>\n

Walnuts \u2014 The\u00a0omega-3<\/a>\u00a0oils in walnuts (or in salmon, if you are a fish-eater) are vitally important for flexible, plump, younger-looking skin.\u00a0Flaxseed<\/a>\u00a0oil is another great choice for\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0oils, but be sure not to heat it; try it in salad dressings instead.<\/p>\n

Berries \u2013 Pick a peck of berries to benefit from their powerful\u00a0antioxidants<\/a>. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, acai berries\u2013they\u2019re all delicious, and they give our complexions a healthy boost with phytochemicals that protect skin cells.<\/p>\n

Dark leafy greens \u2013 The\u00a0vitamin A<\/a>\u00a0found in dark leafy greens like kale and spinach are great for clearing up\u00a0acne<\/a>\u00a0and promoting skin repair. Vitamin-rich veggie alternatives include carrots and broccoli.<\/p>\n

And here is a sixth \u201cbest food:\u201d drinking enough WATER is an all-important key to\u00a0beautiful skin<\/a>, since even mild dehydration can result in visible aging and dryness. Drinking alcohol, caffeine, and sodas can be dehydrating, so be sure to get plenty of pure water for healthier skin\u2013not to mention healthier kidneys!<\/p>\n
