Vitamin Cures for Fantastic Skin

Vitamin Cures for Fantastic Skin
By PositiveMed-Team
Edited By Stephanie Dawson

Your skin can show everything going on inside your body. If you want to keep your skin healthy essential vitamins are key. Lotions and creams can make your skin glow temporarily, vitamins can be a way to keep you skin glowing much longer.

Vitamins good for skin nutrition:

• Vitamin C

The power of Vitamin C is a recent finding in the field of dermatology. It helps counter the effects of sun exposure. Free radicals, a harmful byproduct of sunlight, smoke, and pollution cause damage to skin which can be reduced by Vitamin C. These free radicals also cause wrinkles and other signs of aging. Vitamin C-rich foods should be part of your diet so the loss of vitamins through skin can be replaced. If you are unable to incorporate vitamin C-rich foods you can opt for supplements.

• Vitamin E

Vitamin E is helpful in reducing the harmful effects of sun on the skin. The risk of skin damage due to sun can be reduced by taking 400U Vitamin E daily and help reduce production of cancer-causing cells. Your skin is made smoother by Vitamin E and its a good treatment for wrinkles. Vitamin E is found naturally in our bodies and is considered a great moisturizing ingredient.



• Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids provide various health benefits, for skin they are perfect for reducing inflammation, lines, and wrinkles. Clogged pores can be eliminated by Omega-3 fatty acids. It can be consumed in your daily diet, fish is a rich source, or applied externally. If you apply externally mix finely ground chia seeds with organic yogurt and a splash of flaxseed oil, stir thoroughly and apply it to your skin. It gives a new and fresh look and texture to your skin.

• Zinc

Its a powerful nutrient that promotes cell renewal, has a wonderful skin smoothing effect, and is a terrific acne buster. Pumpkin seeds, salmon, dark chocolate, chickpeas, and garlic can be a good source of zinc.

• Vitamin B

Your overall skin health is helped by B vitamins. Its important to replace them daily as they are water-soluble and wash out of your body if not used right away. You can have mussels, crabs, beef, or lamb in your diet to increase vitamin B, or opt for supplements.

• Vitamin A

If you are already consuming sufficient quantities of Vitamin A in your diet having more would probably not make much difference to your skin, but if Vitamin A is even a little below normal you can get a dry and flaky complexion. This happens because maintenance and repair of skin tissue is taken care by Vitamin A.

Walia Ibex defensive midfielder Asrat Megersa who plies his trade in Israel is a man with a mission as he prepares to help the defence stop the likes of Nigerian stars Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa on Sunday in Addis Ababa.

The tall gangly player insists its Ethiopia's time to shine as he promises the Nigerian forwards a tough time.

Megersa who has been an integral part of coach Sewnet Bishaw's plans since the start of the World Cup qualifiers anticipates a win for Walia despite the difficult task ahead.

"I have reached a time in my career that I feel things have really worked well. A few years ago no one would have imagined we would be in the spot we are now but the dream is finally coming to fruition. It has not been an easy road but determination, hard work and self belief have helped the team to forge ahead with a winning spirit."

"Personally I am more than delighted and despite calls from many people about the toughness of the Nigeria game I feel no pressure at all as they are just normal players like we are. Their historical achievement will not matter to us as we will play our hearts out like we have done in the past matches without any fear" a determined Megersa told supersport.com from the teams Inter Continental hotel in Addis Ababa.
