High protein meals good for your skin?

Protein is Good for Skin!
It is getting close to that time of the year that proteins are in all recipes. We will say that protein is important for healthy skin. Whether you get that from a stuffed turkey or from a meat-substitute, you’re doing your skin a favor when you eat a protein-rich meal. So when you’re feeling guilty about that large serving of turkey, just remember, protein is good for your skin!
Antioxidants: Cranberries, Pumpkins and Green Vegetables
Whether your skin care concern is acne treatment or anti-aging skin care, antioxidants are the most important nutritional element for healthy skin. Both topical skin care with antioxidants and a healthy skin diet rich in antioxidants can lead to glowing, radiant skin that’s better every day. Two Thanksgiving staples, cranberries and pumpkin, are extremely rich in antioxidants. Of course, you’ll want to be cautious about the preparation of these foods. Cranberry sauce or pumpkin treats that are loaded down with refined carbohydrates such as sugars can neutralize the benefit of the antioxidants in the food itself. Think about preparations of traditional Thanksgiving foods that incorporate fewer refined, processed ingredients and instead focus on the natural, fresh taste of the foods.
Also, remember that all Thanksgiving meals include vegetables such as broccoli, beans and salads. Vegetables are rich in antioxidants and low in calories and fat (as long as you minimize the dressings, butter and salt). Load up a plate of vegetables and be thankful for a great harvest and great skin.
Finally, consider incorporating foods into your Thanksgiving meal that are less traditional but have high antioxidant value. Pomegranate is a seasonally appropriate fruit that’s also loaded with antioxidant value. Let’s get ready for the Holiday Season!
