You are what you eat.
Many people panic at the thought of looking great for a big event. You worry about what you will wear, your hairstyle, your shape and your skin.
Aside from applying your usual cream for moisturizing your skin, you can actually get a healthier, smoother complexion using a healthy diet. The key is in consuming plenty of non-insulin-promoting high-antioxidant foods while hydrating your skin.
What then should you eat before a big event?
Fish
Deep sea fishes like salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines are rich in Omega3 fatty acids, which fight inflammation and give your skin a healthy glow. Here are some meal suggestions you can follow for 48 hours before a special occasion:
Breakfast
-
fresh fruit salad (no cream)
-
egg white omelet (sprinkle dried herbs like oregano and rosemary for flavor)
Lunch/Dinner
-
mixed vegetables: broccoli, green and red bell peppers, cauliflower, green beans. Season veggies with herbs and cook with olive oil.
-
4 to 6 ounces of freshly broiled salmon
-
leafy green salad tossed lightly in olive oil and lemon juice
-
fresh melon, cantaloupe or honeydew for dessert
Drink 8 to 10 glasses of purified water each day.
