Avocados are loaded with skin-beautifying deliciousness. A nice serving of guacamole contains: omega-3 fatty acids, which support strong cell membranes; antioxidant vitamins A and E; B-complex vitamins, lecithin, to protect and strengthen cell walls; and potassium, to support new cell growth. They also host a slew of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds -- including phytosterols, carotenoids, flavonoids, zinc and folate -- that fight free radicals and repair, soothe and renew skin and tissue on a cellular level. FlaxVibrance with flax hull lignans and milled chia seeds is another great source of antioxidants
Blueberries contain some of the highest antioxidant levels of any food, especially when fully ripe, and contain skin-healing, anti-inflammatory properties. The deep, purple-blue color is a reflection of the pigment-rich antioxidant phytonutrients, called anthocynanins, shown to improve the integrity of collagen in skin and inhibit photoaging (sun damage), according to a study in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology. A super healthy and delicious breakfast is Greek Yogurt with blueberries and the flax seed and chia seeds blend in FitFlax.
