Avocados
Avocados are considered a superfood for good reason--full of nutrients that can benefit your health overall. Plus, they can help your skin look great by helping to reduce and prevent key signs of aging.
"Avocados are high in inflammation-fighting fatty acids that promote smooth, supple skin. They also contain a variety of essential nutrients that may prevent the negative effects of aging," Healthline explains.
Specifically, "The high content of vitamin A in avocados can help us shed dead skin cells, leaving us with gorgeous, glowing skin."
Plus, the article continues, "Their carotenoid content may also assist in blocking toxins and damage from the sun’s rays and also help to protect against skin cancers."
Avocados contain monosaturated fat, which is also beneficial for your skin. According to Elle, This type of fat "can slip through membranes and protect cells from free radical damage."
Additionally, avocados are a great source of fiber, which has its own anti-aging benefits, as it "expedites the removal of toxins that can lead to aging."
With that in mind, try adding this superfood to your daily diet asap, starting with your breakfast. One easy option is to add some avocado to the top of your scrambles eggs.
