6 foods to help you stay in shape and have smooth skin in the summer

The foods below not only help improve health, but also help support metabolism, thereby burning more calories, and eliminating toxins from the body, for clear, smooth skin.

1. Strawberry

Strawberries contain a lot of vitamin C, which helps strengthen the body's resistance and stimulates collagen production for youthful skin.

Just eating about 1 cup of strawberries provides you with 100% of the vitamin C you need for the whole day.

That amount of strawberries helps you lose weight faster, while also giving you fresh breath and whiter teeth.

Experts advise that to achieve maximum beauty benefits, do not eat strawberries with sugar or other sweets.

2. Lettuce

Just eating 6 lettuce leaves will provide you with 100% of your daily vitamin A requirement, stimulating cell regeneration for a youthful, supple body.

Lettuce also contains potassium, which helps stimulate blood circulation under the skin, so the skin is always rosy.

Feel free to create many delicious dishes with lettuce, such as salad, hot pot, sandwiches, or most attractively, lettuce wrapped in Korean-style grilled meat.

3. Tomato

Tomatoes contain lycopene, which can protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.

In the morning before going to the beach, remember to drink a glass of pure tomato juice.

If you want to lose weight, you can choose cherry tomatoes instead of daily snacks, which provide a lot of water and few calories, creating a very refreshing feeling after eating.

If you are determined to have beautiful, long-lasting skin, eat tomatoes every day, from salads, sour soup or stir-fried with eggs.

4. Apple

For apples, you have to choose more carefully, buy clean, organic apples so you can eat the skin.

It is the antioxidants in apple peel that can protect the skin from the harmful effects of UVB rays, reducing the risk of skin cancer.

If you want to lose weight, eating apples in the morning is also very good. The sweetness of apples will help you feel more comfortable and reduce your cravings for sweets in the next meals of the day.

5. Olive oil

Applying olive oil to your skin is certainly a familiar skin care method, but olive oil can also protect your skin from the inside.

Just eating 1 spoon of olive oil every day will help your skin become smoother and increase its ability to defend itself against UV rays.

Fat from olive oil is a beneficial fat, helping the body burn excess fat faster.

Use olive oil to stir-fry or add to salads, and you can still enjoy fatty foods in the healthiest way.

6. Green tea

Green tea is the "fountain of youth" of summer.

This drink helps reduce cravings very quickly, soothes stress that can easily cause hormonal disorders (which are the culprits for excess fat storage), and at the same time provides antioxidants to protect the skin from sunburn./.
