Worst foods for skin which affects the beauty

Everyone wishes to have the clear skin as it is closely related to beauty. Definitely a bad skin affects the beauty and so it is vital to take care of it. I discussed and presented healthy skin care tips in my previous posts, but now with the list of bad foods which make the skin flaky.
If you want dynamic skin with flawless glow, a healthy diet should be consumed and the following bad skin foods should be escaped from your daily diet.

1. Dairy products
Dairy products are the sources of calcium but excess intake would lead to acne and breakouts. Avoid milk, yogurt, cheese and ice cream or at least reduce the in taking amount of these products. Replace it with green-leafy vegetables to get calcium.

2. Dehydrating foods
Dehydration makes the skin dry, invite wrinkles and finally result in aging skin. So stop consuming the dehydrating foods like processed meats, frozen and canned foods, caffeine, alcohol and salt based foods. Replace these with pumpkin, watermelon and cucumber.

3. Junk foods (foods with trans-fat and fried foods)
Junk foods are high in sugar and fat which would cause clogged up pores and blemishes on the skin. Pizza, burger, candy, cake, donuts, noodles, French fries are some of the junk foods spoil the skin. Replace these with healthy junk foods like popcorn, dark chocolate and coconut.

4. High glycemic foods
High glycemic foods reduce the flexibility and elasticity of the skin which would make the skin to appear flaky with aging signs. White rice, potato chips, white bread, cornflakes are the high GI foods which would lead to dermatitis. Replace these with brown rice, whole wheat, barley and quinoa.

5. Other edible foods
Non-organic foods, foods with artificial sweeteners & preservatives, poor quality supplements, foods with gluten and soft drinks must be avoided as these would cause rashes and breakouts in skin. Replace these with fresh fruits & vegetables, fiber and anti-oxidant rich foods.

Taking care of skin is essential part in maintaining a flawless beauty. Get natural skin care by eating healthy foods and get beautiful skin with perfect glow forever!

  5. Milk has more pluses than minuses. For the sake taking care of your skin, it is not advisable to ignore the over all health by reducing milk intake. I know opinion differs but this is mine.
