Hey there, viewers! Who wouldn’t like to have beautiful, youthful looking skin?
What if I told you there were breakfast options that can give you just that?
In today’s video, we’re talking about 8 breakfast foods that will make you look younger.
How does chia seed pudding help? Why is tomato so special for your skin?
What about blueberries and tofu scramble? We’ll be talking about all of these AND more...
Chia Seed Pudding
These tiny black seeds are loaded with nutrition, especially omega-3 fatty acids.
One ounce of chia seeds give you 9 grams of healthy fats, 5 of which are omega 3.
But what is the connection between omega-3 fatty acids and younger skin?
It turns out a lot! Omega-3’s help regulate your skin’s oil production,
reduce signs of aging, and hydrate your skin. They also stop breakouts.
Getting a decent amount of omega-3 will give you soft, hydrated, supple skin.
What’s more, you’ll also find they provide relief from skin irritation and dermatitis.
There has been a study on this. It was found that omega-3 fatty acids did help
white blood cells preserve tiny segments of DNA. These shortened over time due to aging.
One nutrient and so many benefits! This is why we highly recommend you eat chia
seed pudding for breakfast. You can try a simple, four-ingredient kind.
Stir chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract and milk together in a bowl or mason jar.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Stir it again to break lumps of chia seeds. Cover and place it
in the fridge overnight. Remember the consistency has to be nice and thick. Not liquidy...

Blueberries
Looking for a delicious treat that also makes your skin glow?
Blueberries are the answer. They’re delicious just on their own. You can also whip up a
blueberry dessert, or make a smoothie. And of course, they’re bursting with nutrition.
Blueberries aren’t just to make your breakfast oatmeal bowl look gorgeous.
This delicious fruit is an excellent morning meal
thanks to its high amount of antioxidants and fiber. But how does it help your skin?
Blueberries have polyphenols that prevent early signs of aging.
Studies have revealed polyphenols to be an effective sunscreen.
Your skin is protected from the harmful rays of the sun, especially UV rays.
Wondering about the best way to eat blueberries? Eat them on their own! This can get boring pretty
quickly though. So why not experiment? Blend blueberries with yogurt and make a delicious
smoothie. Don’t forget to add saffron and honey for a power-packed, nutritious punch.
They make for a delicious topping with your oatmeal and cereals.
You can even make ice cubes and add to your drinks. Way to beat the summer heat! My
personal favorite is the blueberry, strawberry and kiwi salad with a drizzle of raw organic honey.
Eggs
Eggs are a traditional popular breakfast. You can eat them scrambled, poached or boiled. All
are healthy choices. Omelette isn’t bad either if you don’t overload it with butter or cheese.
But can eggs be the answer for youthful skin? It turns out
yes! Eggs are nourishing for your skin due to specific nutrients.
Vitamin D and protein to be precise. Wondering how these nutrients help your skin?
Let’s unravel one by one. You need protein and amino acids for healing and repairing
damaged tissues. This means your hair, skin and nails all need protein to keep healthy.
This nutrient also increases cell turnover of your skin.
It helps new skin cells replace and take over old ones. Protein also has anti-aging effects.
Vitamin D protects your skin from sun damage. As you age, your body’s ability to produce decreases.
It becomes even more important to get vitamin D from foods. And eggs make an excellent choice.
You can turn your breakfast into a skin-nourishing meal by eating
vitamin C-rich veggies with eggs. Add kale, spinach or bell pepper to the omelette.
Vitamin C brightens your skin. These green veggies also have vitamins E, K and antioxidants.
All of these nutrients are good for your skin.
Vitamins E and K promote blood flow. This helps reduce the appearance of dark spots.
There’s another surprising benefit of eating eggs for breakfast. They’ll help
you stay fit. Eggs keep you full for longer, thanks to the high amount of protein found in
them. This means you won’t feel hunger cravings. Eventually, you’ll end up eating fewer calories.
Avocado
Avocado lovers, here’s some good news for you. They are excellent for your skin.
This creamy green fruit is loaded with monounsaturated fatty acids.
Quite a mouthful of a name, right? But why are these fatty acids so important?
They’re great for your skin as they protect it from premature aging.
Avocados improve moisture content in your skin, making it soft and supple.
Avocados also have antioxidants that fight damage caused by harsh environments, sun,
pollution and aging. All of these give you wrinkles. But antioxidant-rich foods
prevent premature aging by strengthening your body against harmful free radicals.
And not just that, avocados are loaded with vitamins A, D and E as well. All of these
are a blessing for your skin. Eating avocados for breakfast can also increase collagen metabolism.
Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It’s the major component of your skin.
As if all of this wasn’t enough, avocados have even more to offer. This is the ultimate fruit you
should eat to feel full. Eating it in the morning will keep you energized throughout the day.
You won’t feel hunger cravings between meals. Overall, this creamy fruit will keep you fit.
Eat avocados on their own. Or make toasts and sandwiches using them.
You can also make savory breakfast salads using avocados, blueberries,
eggs and sweet potatoes. Vegan breakfast tacos aren’t bad either. You might, in fact, love them!
Before we move ahead, here’s another video you might like. You need vitamin C for healthy skin.
But how would you know if you’re getting it right? Watch this video to learn more about the signs and
symptoms of vitamin C deficiency. Fruit Smoothies
Fire up the blender! Fruit smoothies are
loaded with antioxidants that prevent premature aging. Imagine no wrinkles!
Smoothies also hydrate your body, which shows up in the form of soft
supple skin. You can make your smoothies even more powerful by combining
more than two ingredients. How about blueberries, avocados, yogurt, and chia seeds?
They have things like Vitamin C, healthy omega fatty acids,
vitamin E and antioxidants! You’ll get all the good things for your skin.
Vitamin E and omega fatty acids reduce inflammation and promote your skin’s health.
Tofu Scramble
This is the breakfast everyone will love, especially vegans. Swap eggs with this
delicious tofu. Right on nutrition and taste! Tofu has lots of protein. On top of that,
soy plays an important role in reducing wrinkles and improving your skin elasticity.Tofu
also offers you a generous amount of zinc, which helps your skin cells repair themselves.
Add in veggies like broccoli and tomatoes. Throw in some avocados as well.
You will get antioxidants, vitamin E and omega fatty acids. They’re great for your skin.
Sweet Potato
Do you love hash browns, fries and mashed potatoes? I wouldn’t blame you.
But they’re not really the healthiest food choices. So why
not swap them up for something that’s just as delicious, but also good for your skin?
The answer is sweet potato! Sweet potato has powerful antioxidants derived from vitamin A.
They protect your skin from damage caused by stress, environmental factors, sun and aging.
Sweet potatoes are also loaded with vitamin C,
a nutrient that regenerates your skin and brightens it. Research has proven that women
over the age of 40, who don’t take enough vitamin C, have a higher chance of wrinkles.
The healthiest way to eat sweet potatoes is to boil them.
Adding butter, mayonnaise and cheese all hurt your health.
Tomato
Tomatoes for breakfast? You don’t need to eat them on their own first thing in the
morning. Not very appetizing. But you can add them to your omelettes, eggs and sandwiches.
Why am I so hell bent on you eating tomatoes? Because they’re great for your skin!
Tomatoes contain a compound that decreases your skin’s sensitivity to the sun’s harmful rays.
It also reduces inflammation of your skin.
Tomatoes are also rich in vitamin B complex. They have an anti-aging effect on your body.
All those age spots, fine lines, and sun burns... Tomatoes can fix them all.
So now your breakfast is sorted. But what about lunch and dinner? Which
foods should you NOT eat? Let’s talk about a couple more videos, shall we?
