New book explains the importance of diet for healthy skin

It's important to remember that the things you eat have an impact on the health of your skin. For example, WebMD recommends consuming low-fat dairy products to get a glowing complexion, since these foods contain vitamin A, which is essential to healthy skin.


Recently, the Daily Aztec reported on a new book by dermatologist Jessica Wu called "Feed Your Face: Younger, Smoother Skin and a Beautiful Body in 28 Delicious Days." The book details the importance of having a diet that works for your body and your skin. While Wu recommends healthy foods such as fresh vegetables and brown rice, she also said that you can still have your favorites, like pizza.


"Pizza can be a good choice for your skin. Just order thin crust (whole wheat if possible), go light on the cheese, and load it with the right kinds of protein and veggies that help fight wrinkles," said Wu, quoted by the news source.


Foods that are rich in antioxidants such as pomegranates and green tea have also been shown to potentially keep the skin healthy. On top of eating these substances, they can also be found as ingredients in many African American skin care products.
