5 Thanksgiving Foods That Are Good For Your Skin
Did you know that there are certain Thanksgiving foods that can actually be good for your skin?
It's that time of year again! The leaves are changing color, the air is getting crisp, and pumpkin spice everything is back on the menu. That's right, it's time for Thanksgiving! And while this holiday is typically associated with overeating and indulgence, there are actually a few Thanksgiving foods that are good for your skin. So, if you're looking to keep your skin looking its best this season, make sure to include these five items in your Thanksgiving feast.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that can prevent damage from free radicals. Free Radicals are unstable molecules which cause inflammation and premature aging - no thank you! Pumpkin also helps exfoliate your skin to improve its tone/ texture, not bad for something so delicious.
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are another great source of beta-carotene. They also contain vitamins A and C, which can help improve the appearance for dry skin as well as dark spots on mature or sensitive complexions! These veggies will keep you looking hydrated with their moisture promoting properties so give them another try next time around.
Cranberries
Cranberries are rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants that can help to protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays, pollution, and other environmental stressors. Cranberries can also help to reduce inflammation and redness.
Turkey
Yes, believe it or not, even turkey has some skin benefits! Turkey is a good source of protein, which is essential for healthy skin. Turkey also contains zinc, which can help to heal wounds and keep your skin looking clear and blemish-free.
Nuts
Nuts like almonds and walnuts are packed with healthy fats that can help to moisturize your skin and keep it looking supple. Nuts also contain vitamins E and selenium, both of which have antioxidant properties that can help to protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.
This Thanksgiving, don't feel guilty about indulging in some of your favorite holiday foods—some of them might even be good for your skin! From pumpkin and sweet potatoes to cranberries and nuts, there are plenty of options to choose from that will not only taste delicious but also give your skin a little boost. So go ahead and enjoy a second helping of turkey (and pumpkin pie) this year—your skin will thank you for it!
