Always keep in mind that healthy and cheerful lifestyle can help you to achieve youthful and flawless skin. Remember that what you eat in your daily life puts a big impact on your appearance and skin. So, if you’re trying hard to achieve healthy and glowing skin then start monitoring your eating habits.

Intake of carbohydrates is a must to achieve healthy skin, as recommended by nutritionists. But some product which contains mix of carbohydrates should be avoided as they increase the glucose level in blood and result into inflammation and other irritating skin problems.

Food items like sugar, cake, bread and full fat creams also should be avoided as they come under high glycemic category and are high in carbohydrate content. High intake of these food items can cause acne breakout on skin. Instead one should go for low glycemic food in diet as they are perfect for achieving good health and skin. Whole grains and fresh fruits and veggies are perfect examples of low glycemic food items.

Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and butters contain trans-fatty acids and regular intake of these items can have bad effect on your body as well as skin.

Remember that alcohol consumption can badly affect you skin by causing dehydration in body. When fluid content in body gets reduced, it can lead to skin dryness and development of wrinkles. Frequent drinking does not only aggravate skin problems but can badly damage liver as well. So, quit drinking habit as quickly as possible.
