THE BEST NUTRITION FOR HEALTHY SKIN
Nutrition is an important part of skin care. Poor diet, an unbalanced gut microbiome and food intolerances can be the cause of skin blemishes and irritation. In the same sense, selected supportive foods and a healthy gut can strengthen the skin, stimulate skin metabolism and thus slow down the ageing process and regenerate damaged skin.
Antioxidants:
Antioxidants are substances that can prevent or even reverse cell damage. An anti-aging effect may be linked to their ability to fight free radicals, which are involved in skin damage and lead to wrinkles and inflammation. The best-researched antioxidants are vitamins C and E, carotenoids and lycopene, which help protect collagen and elastin and firm and tighten the skin.
Essential fatty acids:
Essential fatty acids are crucial for maintaining human health, but cannot be produced by the human body itself. They must be ingested with food. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in body growth and development and support human brain function. While omega-3 is an important component of cell membranes throughout the body, omega-6 helps to stimulate skin and hair growth.
Polyphenols:
Natural polyphenols are compounds found in certain plants, fruits (e.g. mango), nuts (e.g. almonds) and legumes that act as powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Recent studies have also linked polyphenols to cancer prevention and have shown their prebiotic, microbiome-supporting ability.
The 360° supplement is the perfect all-round solution for your optimal supply of the most important vitamins, minerals and trace elements . Piperine also improves the absorption and therefore bioavailability of the active ingredient complex and astaxanthin also acts as an immune booster and antioxidant.
5 "Super" foods
Almonds:Almonds are a very rich source of antioxidants and vitamin E and therefore have a direct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. They are rich in protein, fiber, polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Recent studies show their ability to also support the health of the microbiome by promoting the bacterial ecosystem of the gut.
Leafy greens are a great plant source of protein, essential multivitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants. In addition, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids (see section: Essential fatty acids) and chlorophyll, which improves oxygen transport in the human body. As they are rich in fiber, they also have a gut-supporting function.
Complex carbohydrates:
Complex carbohydrates are basically all fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and unrefined whole grain products except flour. They contain a variety of natural anti-inflammatory substances, especially fiber and phytonutrients. Many phytonutrients act as antioxidants and have the ability to counteract oxidative stress and thus prevent disease and inflammation. So carbohydrates are not all "bad", and eating the "right carbohydrates" can even help you achieve the skin health you want.
Soy:
Soy is considered a rich source of minerals and polyunsaturated fats such as omega-3 and omega-6. Soybeans also contain so-called isoflavones (secondary plant substances), which have antioxidant properties and, according to several studies, reduce the signs of skin ageing. Soy is very rich in vegetable protein and contains all nine essential amino acids.
Sea buckthorn:
Sea buckthorn oil contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and other health-promoting compounds. It is also rich in important antioxidants that can help protect your body from disease and slow down the ageing process. Sea buckthorn oil is one of the few plants that provides all four omega fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6, omega-7 and omega-9) in one source.
