One of the most important aspects of healthy skin starts with what we put in our bodies.

Do you know which foods you are intolerant or allergic to?

Food allergies that aren’t life-threatening can still cause acne, inflammation and hives.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) reports that over 10% of American adults have food allergies.

Most people don’t get diagnosed with a food allergy unless they have a strong reaction.

But, knowing how foods impact your body is really important to your health.

The most common food allergens are shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, eggs and soy.

Some foods just don't really agree with us, even though they aren't a true allergy.

The best diet for your body will be a balanced diet with a large focus on vegetables.

You want to get the vitamins and minerals you need from diverse food sources.

A great diet will be similar to keto—keeping the carbs low, fats high and protein at a moderate level. 

However, it’s important to focus on getting healthy fats, through sources like eggs, fish and nuts.

Getting regular exercise is a key part of keeping your body healthy.

Exercise makes your heart pump harder, getting new blood moved through the body.

It also tones your muscles and supports the removal of toxins by flushing your system more frequently.

Regular workouts also increase the production of natural skin oils that will help support a smooth and healthy complexion.

The best form of workouts for most will be short burst exercise or high-intensity interval training.

You can choose to do a low-impact workout, like aerobics or yoga as well.

Aim to spend around 30 minutes to an hour 3-5 times a week on moderate to high-intensity workouts.

Rather than one big exercise day each week, it’s better to work out the body a few times throughout the week.

Joining a class may help you stay committed to a regular time certain days of the week.

If you work at a desk job, driving job or any other job that requires a lot of sedentary time, it’s important to get up and move around.

You can increase the blood flow and support a healthier system by getting up out of your chair and moving around every 30 minutes to an hour throughout the day.

Reducing stress will support healthier skin.

Studies have linked high stress levels to increased acne and other common skin conditions.

One study explains:

“Psychological stress has many negative consequences on the skin which include impaired stratum corneum cohesion, disturbance of permeability barrier, alteration of the antimicrobial properties of the epidermal barrier, delayed wound healing, compromised epidermal innate immunity, and cutaneous homeostasis might be adversely affected. Thus alter immunity, favor progression of infections, and have the potential to affect chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Furthermore, some reports exist in favor of the role of psychosocial factors in the etiology and or exacerbation of certain dermatological diseases, for instance, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, psoriasis, rosacea, vitiligo, acne, and alopecia areata.”

To support healthier skin, include mindfulness practices throughout your day.

This might include taking 10 minutes to meditate or repeat positive affirmations.

It may include cutting out unnecessary social events or responsibilities to reduce the workload. Certain workouts, like Yoga, can help reduce stress.

Spending time in a sauna, steam room or hot tub can also help calm the body and relax the mind.

While getting sun on the skin is important, it has to be in moderation.

Prolonged sun exposure is very damaging.

Experts recommend 15 minutes a day to gain the benefits of vitamin D and increased endorphin production.

You should regularly apply SPF protection to avoid damage to your skin and protect it from premature aging.
