美容又健康的食物

Your skin is often a reflection of your health-and that's a good thing. Changing up your diet is an efficient route to clearer, younger looking skin. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than all those lotions lining the counters.

通常你的皮膚反映了你的健康--這是件好事。改變飲食是使皮膚更光澤、更年輕的有效方法。而且，這比專櫃陳列的那些潤膚乳便宜得多。

We've all looked in the mirror and asked, "Do I look my age?" Most of us want to prevent aging, reverse aging, or just age gracefully, which leads to the question: What should we eat to keep our skin looking younger and healthier? There's a reason, after all, that the conventional wisdom tells us you are what you eat; everything in the body is connected so if your gut isn't healthy, it will most likely show up on your face!

我們都會照着鏡子問"我的長相是不是暴露了我的年齡？"大多數人都想防止衰老、逆轉衰老、或是慢慢變老，因此就會有這樣的問題：吃什麼能使皮膚既年輕又健康呢？問這個問題是有原因的，畢竟傳統觀念告訴我們吃什麼補什麼；身體的一切都是緊密相連的，所以如果你的腸胃不好，很有可能你的氣色會說明這一點。

1. Blueberries

1. 藍莓

Blueberries are a high-antioxidant food-and antioxidants are like superheroes in the battle against aging skin. "Foods rich in antioxidants help slow aging at the cellular level by scavenging free radicals," explains Kathy Siegel, RD. "Free radicals damage cells and tissues, which results in wrinkles and premature sagging." Bonus: Blueberries are also said to be The Best Fruit for Your Sex Life!

藍莓是高級抗氧化食品--在皮膚的戰役中，抗氧化劑就像是英雄一樣。"富含抗氧化劑的食物能夠通過清除自由基來延緩細胞的衰老，"註冊營養師凱西·西格爾解釋道。"自由基會損壞細胞和組織，導致皺紋和過早下垂。"福利：據說藍莓也是促進性生活和諧的最佳水果！

2. Strawberries

2. 草莓

A cup of strawberries (about eight strawberries) contains more vitamin C than an orange, according to Tanya Zuckerbrot, RD, and founder of the F-Factor Diet. "Not only is vitamin C key to a healthy immune system, but it does wonder for our skin because it helps produce collagen, which keeps skin taught and smoothes fine lines."

據註冊營養師及F-Factor Diet創始人Tanya Zuckerbrot所述，一杯草莓（大概8個）的維生素C含量比橙子還多。"維他命C不僅對於健康的免疫系統至關重要，而且還能創造皮膚奇蹟，有助於產生膠原蛋白，使我們的皮膚緊緻，且磨平細紋。"

3. Carrots

3. 胡蘿蔔

Carrots are packed with carotenoids, which our body converts to vitamin A. According to Siegel, studies have shown vitamin A carotenoids protect skin, tissue, and cells from environmental toxins and diseases that cause oxidative damage (i.e. wrinkles).

胡蘿蔔富含胡蘿蔔素，能被身體轉化爲維生素A。據西格爾所述，研究已表明維生素A胡蘿蔔素能保護皮膚、組織和細胞不受環境毒素和導致氧化損傷（也就是皺紋）的疾病的侵害。試試這20個胡蘿蔔減肥食譜，盤子裏多放些胡蘿蔔吧！

4. Oysters

4. 牡蠣

A zinc deficiency has been linked to acne, which is why Zuckerbrot often recommends oysters to her clients. "Just two oysters will put you over the recommended daily amount of zinc-which if you're concerned about acne or aging, you should be eating. Zinc deficiency is a known cause of acne and zinc helps protect collagen and elastin proteins, which keep your skin young and resilient."

缺乏鋅元素會導致痤瘡，因此Zuckerbrot經常向她的客戶推薦牡蠣。"只要吃兩個牡蠣，每日建議鋅元素量就達到了--如果你擔心痤瘡或衰老，那就該吃牡蠣。缺乏鋅元素會導致痤瘡這已衆所周知，而且鋅元素還能保護膠原蛋白和彈性蛋白，使你的皮膚年輕有彈性。"
