These polyunsaturated fats accelerate the production of the skin's natural oil barrier, which is critical in keeping your skin hydrated. It even makes it plumper, and younger-looking. The purpose is to make your skin healthy and glowing skin by eating healthy and also to ensure that skin remains healthy. Healthy fats you need for your skin, so gets its "glow."

Omega-3 fatty acids are a kind of polyunsaturated fat, which your body can't make but needs to build cell walls. They also block a chemical that lets skin cancer grow and spread, and they may lower inflammation.

VITAMIN A:
Since it's an antioxidant, both the upper and lower layers of skin needs vitamin A to prevent sun damage by interrupting the process that breaks down collagen. It may give your skin some protection against sunburn (although not as much as wearing sunscreen). It helps the oil glands around your hair follicles to work and may also help cuts and scrapes heal, especially if you're taking steroids to reduce inflammation. 

PROTEIN:

Proteins you eat turns into building blocks called amino acids and reuses them to make other proteins, including the collagen and keratin that form the structure of skin. Amino acids also help slough off old skin.

VITAMIN C:


Vitamin "C" for collagen: Helps the twisted web of protein hold its shape. It's also a powerful antioxidant, protecting you from free radicals and possibly lowering your chance of skin cancer. Low levels of vitamin C can cause easy bruising and bleeding gums, as well as slower-healing sores. 

ZINC:

Zinc helps your skin heal after an injury. It's needed to keep cell walls stable and also for the cells to divide and specialize as they grow. Zinc may protect your skin from UV damage because of the way it behaves in relation to other metals in your body, like iron and copper. It also acts like an antioxidant. Too little zinc can look like eczema, but the itchy rash won't get better when you put moisturizers and steroid creams on it.

SELENIUM:

Selenium is a mineral that helps certain antioxidants protect your skin from UV rays. Selenium deficiency has been linked with a greater chance of skin cancer. Selenium is a mineral that helps certain antioxidants protect your skin from UV rays.

CATCH POINT:

The change in weather demands a change in diet. With post Covid it poses a lot of health problems as we continue to work from home and there is less physical activity. Joint problems, weight gain, vitamin D deficiency, constipation are some of the common problems people had  faced during self-quarantine. Enriching  diet with nutrient-rich foods may help deal with all these problems and let you enjoy good immunity, good skin and overall good health. follow a healthy life style.
