We all heard the saying “you are what you eat“, but chances are you thought about junk food and healthy food and the effects they have on your weight and skin breakouts.

But did you know that food can also have an effect on every part of your body, from your skin’s vibrant glow to your weight, health, hormones and even mentality?

Today you will find out what effects specific foods have on the largest and most visible organ of your body. That being your skin and how incorporating them can help you on your way to achieving your best skin ever.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil For Skin Care

There are many types of Olive Oil. Filtered, Cold Pressed, Extra Virgin Oil and so on and so on. It can be quite confusing walking through the aisle in search of the best one for you.

Luckily, we have already done the research and can tell you that the freshest most natural olive oil which is best for you and your skin is The Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Extra-virgin olive oil is made from pure, cold-pressed olives, whereas regular olive oil is a blend, including both cold-pressed and processed oils. … Any cold-pressed oil that doesn’t meet extra-virgin standards is then refined to get rid of undesirable impurities, giving the oil a more neutral flavour and lighter colour. –  TastingTable

Now the reason why Olive Oil is good for you is that it contains antioxidants, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, antibacterial and moisturizing effects.

-Iron helps to preserve many vital functions in the body, including general energy and focus, gastrointestinal processes, the immune system, and the regulation of body temperature. The benefits of iron often go unnoticed until a person is not getting enough. – Medicalnewstoday

-Ageing is associated with thinning of the epidermis, elastosis, loss of melanocytes associated with an increased paleness of the skin and a decreased barrier function. As the differentiation of keratinocytes is strictly calcium-dependent, calcium also plays an important role in the ageing epidermis. – Loreal

-Vitamin A, vitamin E is considered the best choice for treating acne. In practice, vitamin A is effective for rapidly regenerating healthy skin and protecting against the sun’s harmful rays. Likewise, there is enough evidence to suggest that it is helpful for treating inflammation and fighting skin infections. So much so that you can find retinol, a vitamin A derivative, in countless skin care products. Now it’s time we tackle the mystery of vitamin E. – Glacierwellness

-The antioxidant properties of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health.
