Omelet an Anti-Aging for Younger Looking Skin

Nobody wants to look in the mirror to see the ravages of time staring back. There’s hardly a soul that doesn’t want to have a fresh, young looking face for as long as possible. Thanks to helpful anti-aging skin products and experienced skin care specialists, many people are able to maintain their youthful appearance longer, while others are turning back the hands of time by reversing skin damage.

Though your skin may benefit by using these aids, your skin will also benefit by eating certain foods. An omelet made with certain vegetables is a dish that contains foods that are good for your skin, and one you may want to include in your diet more often. Read on to find out more about this omelet and how it can help keep your skin looking young and beautiful.

Eggs

Eggs are the main ingredient in an omelet, and an important ingredient for youthful looking skin. Eggs contain vitamin A, riboflavin, niacin, biotin and sulfur, which are all nutrients that work to keep your skin healthy. Retinol, an ingredient you may have seen listed on the label of some anti-aging skin care products, is another name for vitamin A. Eggs are also a good source of protein, which is an important building block for your skin.

Asparagus

Asparagus is another good source of vitamin A. It is a tasty vegetable that supplies you with 20 percent of your daily value of vitamin A when ½ cup of asparagus is cooked and consumed. Asparagus makes a valuable contribution in the fight against aging skin, so cut some asparagus into small pieces and add it to your anti-aging omelet.

Red Bell Peppers

Red bell peppers are super rich in vitamin C. When you think of vitamin C, think of collagen. Vitamin C’s primary role is to make sure your skin contains an adequate amount of collagen. Since collagen contributes to skin firmness, lack of vitamin C in your diet may leave your skin looking lose and wrinkled. Red bell peppers also contain a high amount of vitamin A.

Onions

Onions contain minerals that restore connective tissue in your skin. One mineral found in onions is silicon, which works to prevent sagging skin by helping to create more collagen. Sulfur in onions aids in the formation of collagen, and sulfur helps keep your skin smooth.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is a healthy source of fat, and fat is what plumps up your skin so your face doesn’t look drawn in and haggard. Fat also helps to prevent skin dryness, so make sure you cook your anti-aging omelet in olive oil.
