There are foods that can actually help your body. MUST READ

Hello Steemians

Food is an essential part of life and wellness. It is our source of energy that allows us to live, work, and play. Food is also an incredibly social experience, bringing family and friends together around a table to enjoy a meal and conversation together. Many of us have diverse food likes and dislikes, and some people are more adventurous eaters than others. Regardless of what our preferences are, there are some foods that have effects that go beyond just satisfying our hunger. These superfoods can impact the quality of our skin and appearance, help with proper digestion, help us sleep better, and equip our bodies with the nutrients to ward off sickness and disease. Here’s a quick list of foods you should be incorporating into your everyday diet, for the improvement of your overall well being.

Skin:

We all want to have better skin. Whether we suffer from acne, are forming wrinkles, or are fighting losing elasticity in our skin, everyone has something they would like to improve about their skin. What we eat has a correlation to what our skin looks like, as food affects our hormonal balances, can cause inflammation, increase oiliness, or cause an acne flare up.

One critical food to help your skin is tomatoes. Tomatoes can be eaten in their raw form or as a paste, and when eaten on a regular basis, tomatoes can have a significant impact on how well your skin prevents sunburn. One study found that people who ate tomatoes every day experienced 33% more protection against sunburn than their peers who were not eating tomatoes on a regular basis. This is due to lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, which improves your skin’s barrier against the sun. Greater levels of lycopene are actually found in cooked and processed, rather than raw, tomatoes!
