1. Cell-building substances
The best way to produce collagen for skin
is eating food which is rich in minerals and protein.
Magnesium
This is the essential compound for
producing collagen. Magnesium is present in spinach, almonds, grains, beans and
avocados.
Copper
This is an important factor for stimulating
collagen development. Grains, tofu, shellfish, cherry all contain copper.
Glycine
and Proline
This compound exists in beef, sheep,
chicken, port, shrimp, cheese, cabbage and pale palms.
Zinc
This is the compound which supports in
forming elastic tissues. This compound is contained in red meet (especially
sheep and beef), shellfish, bean, and egg.

2. Lubricating oil-forming compound
Fatty acid is necessary in keeping your
skin soft and elastic. It nourishes and supplements a membrane which protects
the skin. Without it, your skin will become dry. Experts advise you should add alpha-linoleic
acid (ALA) to your diet to avoid dry skin. The necessary food source for this
compound is tofu, soya, olive oil, and linseed. Don’t forget to absorb in
Omega-3 from oily fishes such as salmon, sardine, anchoveta or walnut and almond.
3. Eating regularly
Fasting for a period may lead to a decrease
in sugar amount in blood. When you return to eating, the sugar amount will
increase suddenly and destroy collagen and elastic tissues. Experts advise that
you should take the noshes containing fibrous matter and protein and the
good-for-health lipid every 3 hours.
4. Compound for sunlight-proof from inside
One of the reason that makes the skin dry
and burn is UV ray. The UV ray impacts on cells directly, destroy cells and
protein molecules such as collagen and elastin. To against UV destruction,
lines and freckles, you need to take a diet which is rich in antioxidant such
as fruits and vegetables. This is the list for you:
You
need to take a diet which is rich in antioxidant such as fruits and vegetables.
Tomatoes
Tomato contains strong anti-oxidation
lycopene compound. UK researchers has proved that people who eat 2 spoons of
ground tomato within 12 weeks will stand a 33% chance to prevent from burning.
Lycopene is easily absorbed in when tomato is well-cooked or served with oil.
Orange
food
Orange fruits and vegetables contain a lot
of anti-oxidant called beta-carotene which helps to hostile to UV ray from the
inside. So eat more carrots, pumpkins, yellow peppers, or grapes.
Egg
Pay much attention to organic eggs: this is
the eggs containing lots of anti-oxidant. A research in Germany proves that
carotenoid in skin increases by 20% after one week with 2 eggs per day.
Green
tea
Green tea contains catechins specializing
in anti-swelling, anti-senescence and anti-oxidization. A research
proves that ones who drink green tea twice per day within 6 months won’t be
affected by sunlight, no swelling and broken veins.
Chocolate
Instead of eating milk chocolate, you
should try black chocolate with 70% cocoa, and limit at 420 kJ chocolate every
day.
Vintage
wine
Polyphenol in the grape pill help to
prevent swelling and burning. It is the reason why you can avoid the harmful sunlight.
5. Cut down on sweet foods
Glucose will absorb collagen and elastin in
skin. To control the sugar amount, read carefully the corn syrup, glucose
syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup on the labels. When you realize the signals
of senescence, lines, freckles and red spots on skin, it is the sugar amount in
blood that causes it.
Refined
carbs
Keep away from foods made of refined carbs
such as white bread, spaghetti, and biscuit. These can be regarded as sugar.
You should eat grains to supplement protein instead.
Salt
Eating too much salt will destroy your
skin. It stimulates the swellings, making your eyes swollen, and acnes appear.
Saturated
lipid
The lipid in animal fat (beef, pork, dairy
products) can hasten the senescence process. A research has proved that ones
who eat avocado much will have more lines than ones who take olive oil.
