The skin is the largest organ in the body and a reflection of health. If you want to pamper your skin you should follow a balanced diet, eat enough fruits and vegetables, as well as stay hydrated. In these 10 tips, you will discover the foods that give you perfect skin. Steps

1. Avoid hypocaloric diets of less than 1200 -1300 kcal. There is nothing worse than very restrictive diets that do not provide a sufficient number of nutrients in either variety or quantity.
2. Ensure the recommended daily dose of vitamin C, which is around 100 mg (an orange has an average of 50-60 mg of vitamin C) since it influences, among other things, the synthesis of collagen, the basic protein of the skin. Therefore, it is highly advisable to eat between 2 and 3 pieces of fruit a day and at least one serving of vegetables and/or greens.
3. Vitamin A is essential for skin. It is found in the form of provitamin in vegetables but also in animal fats. If you are a healthy person with a weight appropriate to your height and age, do not take skimmed products. You can perfectly take a little butter, whole yogurt and cheese. Vitamin A deficiencies are very rare today, but when this occurs the skin becomes dry and more fragile.
4. Cook with olive or sunflower oil rich in linoleic acid, because it has a protective action on the skin and promotes healing.
5. Don’t forget about vitamin B, especially B2, which is found in tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, peaches, bananas, whole wheat, milk, yogurt… Because its lack warns of skin inflammation and cracks in the corners of the lips.
6. Yogurt and its millions of bacteria Friends help us stabilize the intestinal flora, promote the absorption of fats, combat diarrhea and constipation, facilitate the assimilation of nutrients, lower cholesterol and reduce the negative effects of antibiotics. And there is nothing like a properly functioning intestine to guarantee luminosity and health to the skin.
7. Well-hydrated skin can protect itself much better from external aggressions. Drinking a sufficient dose of water is important. And, more important, consume fruits and vegetables, whose water content is around 80%, because the water contained in food is better captured by the cells.
8. Iron deficiency anemia, due to iron deficiency, is very common in women of childbearing age due to excessive periods. An iron deficiency produces pale skin and brittle skin. If you are young and female, you may be interested in learning about foods rich in iron.
9. The iron that is best assimilated is found in meat. Don’t forget to consume both animal and vegetable proteins, because the skin is made up of proteins and needs them.
10. Indirect sun and living in Mexico, with many hours of sunlight, gives us a good dose of vitamin D. Which does not mean that we have to expose ourselves directly to the sun. Skin must be protected from the sun with sunscreen. We must not forget that the skin has memory and that any sunburn is registered.
