This menu has been inspired by recommendations from registered dietician, Taylor Jones. Breakfast: Blueberries and strawberries with oats and Greek yoghurt Lunch Avocado and tomato on granary toast Dinner Salmon, sweet potatoes, red/yellow peppers and broccoli Snacks Sunflower seeds, walnuts and dark chocolate 10 | W I P E D | Issue 01 These berries are packed with Vitamin C which is an antioxidant that boosts the immune system to help heal blemishes and breakouts. Oats can reduce itching and inflammation of eczema or psoriasis and Greek yoghurt contains probiotics to help prevent unwanted bacteria. Avocados contain Vitamins C and E which promote healthy skin, along with good types of fat that help moisturise the skin. It’s beneficial to add tomatoes to your lunch because they contain lycopene which can protect from sun damage. They also contain the brilliant Vitamin C. Granary bread is not only overall a healthy bread option, but the seeds in the bread are good for a skin health boost. Salmon is rich in omega 3 - helpful for preventing dry skin and inflammation. Like tomatoes, sweet potatoes contain an antioxidant that can prevent sun damage and red/ yellow peppers benefit your skin by giving you Vitamin C which creates collagen, the protein to keep your skin strong. Broccoli also contains Vitamin A which can aid with acne and breakouts. Sunflower seeds are one of many types of seeds that can boost healthy skin. Walnuts are a tasty and healthy snack but they also contain some good fatty acids, Vitamins C and E, selenium and protein. As an extra treat if you have an appetite for something slightly naughty, dark chocolate is really helpful for wrinkles, hydration and skin texture.
