Because I decided to go the advanced route (considering my ambitious goal) with my 5k training program, I've succumb to what many runners experience: a damn blister! But my determination hasn't allowed me to slow down as I decided to continue running despite worsening this foot sore.
So as you can imagine it's become a little worse than where it started.
As such, I thought what better time to indulge some skin-healing secrets that I may not have shared with you before. So here goes.
If you have any skin problems such as acne, eczema, or wounds (ie. cuts, blisters) that are trying to heal, then the following nutrition tips will be very helpful.
To promote the healthiest possible skin you want to focus on the following nutrients:
- omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil, flax oil, walnuts, spirulina)
- vitamin A (carrots, kale, and most fruits and vegetables)
- vitamin C (most fruits and vegetables)
- zinc (pumpkin seeds, chic peas)
The key is to get these nutrietns through foods as much as possible. Studies have shown that supplements are rarely as effective as whole food sources. Furthermore, do your best to eat these foods in their living state for cooking destroys most the vitamins, minerals, and food enzymes that are so beneficial to your skin's health.
