Most of us struggle with some variation of the “I’m not good enough, I don’t deserve, I am not worthy” track playing in our heads. It's a powerful habit that can sabotage all your efforts to change or achieve anything!
This self-defeating mindset can prevent you from applying for your dream job, accepting a date, venturing into entrepreneurship, writing the book you’ve always wanted to, or even trying out a new hairstyle. The variations of "I'm not slim enough," "I'm not smart enough," or simply "not enough," are endless, and your mind likely knows exactly what your personal "not enough" is.

So when someone tossed the “You have to love yourself more” advice my way a few years back, as my life seemed to veer off course, I was stumped. “But how?” I quizzed, genuinely puzzled.

Did you know that what you eat can actually help fight the signs of aging?
The health of your skin not only depends on your skincare routine but also on the foods you consume. As they say “you are what you eat”. Your diet plays a significant role in your appearance. The healthier the food you eat, the healthier your skin will be.
If you want to glow from the inside out, make sure you choose fruits and vegetables packed with essential vitamins and minerals. They help to fight disease and provide anti-aging properties. Eating the right food has many health benefits. Among others, it helps to maintain your skin’s appearance by reducing the aging process, as well as maintaining clearer skin.
Here are four anti-aging foods that can help keep your skin looking young and radiant.
1. Avocados
Avocados are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins that can help keep your skin hydrated and supple. The monounsaturated fats in avocados can also help reduce inflammation, which can contribute to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Try adding half an avocado to your morning smoothie or lunchtime salad for a youthful boost.
2. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against damage from harmful UV rays. Lycopene can also help reduce inflammation and promote collagen production, both of which are important for keeping the skin looking young and healthy. Add a few slices of fresh tomato to your next sandwich or toss some cherry tomatoes into your salad for a lycopene-rich boost.
3. Fatty Fish
Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining healthy skin cells. Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation, keep skin hydrated, and protect against damage from UV rays. Aim to include fatty fish in your diet at least once or twice a week for maximum benefit.
4. Dark Chocolate
Yes, you read that right—dark chocolate can actually be good for your skin! Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, and antioxidants that can help protect the skin against damage from UV rays. Flavonoids can also help reduce inflammation and promote collagen production. Choose dark chocolate with a cacao content of 70% or higher for the most benefit and enjoy in moderation.
These four anti-aging foods can help fight the signs of aging by reducing inflammation, promoting collagen production, and protecting against damage from UV rays. Add them to your diet for a youthful boost!
