 Fish:

• They are rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids, which keeps skin radiant, supple and wrinkle free.
•  Wild salmon's pink or red color, owes its pigment to astaxanthin, a super carotenoid anti-oxidant with potent anti-inflammatory properties.

Olives and Olive oils:

• We need a source of good fats in our diet to help us absorb nutrients from our vegetables and fruits, keep our cells supple, our skin glowing and wrinkle-free, our brains sharp, and our mood upbeat.
• We also need fat to burn fat. Extra virgin olive oil contains oleic acid, which helps us to absorb the omega-3s and other vitamins and nutrients from our foods.

Watercress:

• Watercress has high potassium content and therefore it is considered useful in treating acidity and purifying the blood.
• By cleansing the blood, watercress has been useful in treating skin eruptions, eczema, acne, rashes, and other skin infections.

Turmeric:

• It also increases blood levels of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase, an important antioxidant and vital in the body's detoxification system, to keep skin clear, firm, toned, and radiant.

Blueberries:

• Blueberries are an outstanding source of many phytochemicals including the anthocyanins that act as antioxidants.
