Why are nutrition and diet important when it comes to skin quality?

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Because of this, it requires proper nutrition to function optimally—like other organs in your body.

Our faces don’t lie. You can tell the state of a person’s health by looking at their skin. If someone is sick or run-down, you may notice bags under their eyes and premature wrinkling.

Your body needs complete nutrition to promote healthy, younger looking skin. Most people, however, do not get the right amount of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids that their skin needs to function properly.

Essential fatty acids help your skin stay soft and assist in damage repair. About 60 percent of all Americans do not receive the enough of these essential fatty acids. Dry, itchy, scaly skin is a sign of this fatty acid deficiency.

In addition, vitamins A, C, E and zinc are also essential to help your skin fight infection and promote healing.

You can help your skin achieve its optimal health by eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and essential fatty acids, like those found in fish. Scientists found that those who consumed foods with plenty of antioxidants and avoided butter, red meat and sugar are less prone to wrinkles and enjoyed more youthful, vibrant skin.

If you are considering cosmetic facial surgery and you live in the Beverly Hills area of California, please contact Dr. Babak Azizzadeh today.
