Simple tricks to firm skin

To reaffirm the skin there are a series of very simple tricks that will prevent us from resorting to a great expense in firming creams or anti-wrinkle cosmetics. Proper nutrition or exercise can be great allies to tone the skin, among other tricks. Balanced nutrition is essential for the good health of our body and, therefore, our skin, and this is something that even the best creams can not replace.

To begin this natural anti-sagging treatment you should first of all make a purification of your body with a diet based on a single fruit (the most recommended are pineapple, grapes and orange) and drinking two liters of water throughout the day (add one teaspoon of chlorophyll to one of the glasses). We must also take two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or cold pressed on an empty stomach (otherwise it loses its natural properties).

In this way, with two or three days of this cleansing diet you will eliminate waste, toxins and even fats that accumulate in our body. When finished, add little by little healthy foods such as fruits, granola, soy milk, etc. The foods that you should not eat to keep your skin firm and healthy are cow's milk and dairy products, fried foods, sausages, sugar, refined flours, processed foods and junk foods.

But do not worry that there are many other healthy and tasty foods that we can incorporate into our diet if we want to improve the quality of our skin. Among them, of course, fresh vegetables (especially carrots, apples, cranberries, avocados, cherries and fruits with lots of vitamin C) rich in antioxidants that improve cellular regeneration and can help maintain the firmness of the skin.

We must also add to our diet milk and vegetable oils, whole grains and seeds, or fish.
