Beauty – Food: Time and again, fashion or fitness magazines tout that certain foods can be responsible for a more beautiful appearance, firmer skin, or even fewer wrinkles. But is that correct? Dr. Daniela Themmer, general practitioner specializing in Nutritional medicine, from JUVENIS, informs about this new trend.

Nutrition tips for beauty at JUVENIS

In an interview with help.ORF.at, Dr. Daniela Themmer explains what Beauty Food is all about. In doing so, the doctor warns against exaggerated expectations. What's important is the overall diet: the more colorful the better. That means lots of vegetables and fruit, as well as proteins, carbohydrates and the right fats. The prerequisite here is that you are healthy and have no hormonal disorders. Monotonous diets are definitely bad for the skin.

In fact, there are foods that really have a positive effect on appearance. For example, the blueberry is rightly considered a wrinkle killer and anti-aging agent and should comfortably be on the daily menu. However, expectations should not be set too high here either – the skin will not be plumped up by the berries. Other foods also support the skin: pineapple and nuts help with elasticity, and inflammation is reduced by ginger.

Finally, Dr. Daniela Themmer reveals the secret to a beautiful appearance: once a day get some fresh air, eat fruit and vegetables regularly (preferably seasonal), apply sunscreen, quit smoking, and get enough sleep. Water is also very important – ideally drink 2 liters a day.
