Healthier You Week 1: Tuna and Apple Salad Recipe – Skin Healthy Foods

Being healthy isn’t just about exercise.  Having a healthy diet is equally important.  I learned something really interesting this week, something I never really thought about.  The food we eat is equally important to the health of your skin.  The “Healthier You” program sponsored by Dial NutriSkin launched a new website this week that features weekly tips and challenges by Amy Hendel.  This weeks focus is Skin Healthy Foods.

Here are some things I learned:

Hydration: To keep your skin from becoming dry, drink lots of water and eat foods like oily fish and flaxseed that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Make sure to include foods fortified with biotin like white meat chicken, eggs and Swiss chard to help your body process those healthy fats.

Blemish fighters: To fight breakouts, make sure to follow a proper skin care regimen, and include foods rich in zinc like vegetarian baked beans, garbanzo beans and pumpkin seeds.

Anti-aging: Commit to regular use of a broad spectrum SPF, and add vitamin E to your daily diet to prevent skin damage and wrinkles. Foods enriched with Vitamin E include tuna and fortified cereals. Dark chocolate, tea and watermelon contain compounds that will also help you fight skin damage.

In keeping with the theme I thought I would share a skin healthy recipe this week as I try to focus on the tips Amy provided on the Dial NutriSkin Healthier Skin, Healthier You website.  I hope you will check it out and follow along!


As you know I’m trying to be more healthy and what better way than to share some healthy recipes? Today I am featuring a yummy tuna recipe in hopes that others will leave their linky below with their featured healthy recipes.
