5 Foods for Healthy Skin

5. Avocados

Avocado is rich in healthy fats that are good for your skin, but the real skin-boosting nutrient in this delicious fruit is vitamin E! I know a lot of folks try to avoid avocados because of the fat content, but new research actually shows that people who eat avocados regularly have a lower BMI than people who don’t!

Try avocado in salads, sandwiches, tacos, and burritos. And, of course, there’s always good, old-fashioned guacamole! If you’re feeling adventurous, try whipping up a batch of chocolate avocado pudding! No, really. You won’t be sorry!
