Healthy skin starts from the inside. Eating a fresh fruit salad as part of your daily routine will lead to a number of health benefits, including healthy glowing skin. This tasty fruit salad is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre that’ll support not only your skin health, but your overall health.
What are the benefits?
Watermelon
This hydrating fruit is refreshing and great for skin health. It is loaded with water which helps to flush out toxins from the body. It also contains vitamins, carotenoids, flavonoids, and lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant that helps to scavenge free radicals and prevent skin damage.
Blueberries
In addition to being loaded with powerful antioxidants, blueberries contain vitamins A and C, folate, potassium, magnesium as well as dietary fibre. Dietary fibre aids digestion and improves bowel movement, which helps to eliminate toxins from the body and prevents them coming out in the skin.
Peaches
Peaches are packed with skin-supporting nutrients including vitamins A, C, E, and K and minerals such as copper, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and dietary fibre. They are also a great source of antioxidants, preventing oxidative damage to skin cells.
Cherries
This sweet summer fruit is also loaded with skin loving nutrients. They contain antioxidants that can help to repair and protect your skin from damage as well as anti-inflammatory properties that further help prevent skin damage.
Mint leaves
Mint contains active enzymes that encourage bile secretion and bile flow, which helps for smoother digestion. Poor digestion can manifest itself in the skin so keeping your digestive system functioning is vital for skin health.
Walnuts
Walnuts are a great source of omega 3 fatty acids which is vital for the health of our skin cells, and in turn, hydration. They also contain the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, which helps to fight free radicals.
Watermelon Vitamin C Zooki
In a delicious watermelon flavour, Vitamin C Zooki adds a healthy dose of vitamin C to maximise this fruit salad's antioxidant potential.
