Give Thanks for Turkey!
Turkey consumption helps skin in many ways! Happy Thanksgiving!
Turkey has some serious benefits for skin! Eat your fair share (or more ) this Thanksgiving!
Benefits for skin when consuming turkey:
• B-complex vitamins niacin, B6 and B12, help your body hydrate the skin, build collagen to plump the skin and cell renewal for healthy glowing skin. It also helps to prevent pigmentation from forming, reduces acne, soften the skin's overall texture, and limits irritation and inflammation while supporting a healthy skin barrier.
• Choline helps build collagen, making it a key nutrient for maintaining youthful and firm skin. By promoting collagen production, choline helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improving skin texture and elasticity.
• Magnesium helps to ensure your skin is protected against external damage as it regulates cellular regeneration and repair.
• Selenium helps slow cellular damage that accumulates with age.
• Potassium helps support new skin cell growth, which helps heal blemishes and scars.
• Zinc regulates oil production, reduces inflammation and supports skin healing. Zinc is also believed to play a role in collagen synthesis and DNA repair; the combination of which can help keep skin looking healthier and more youthful.
* Note: taking extra zinc is not likely to improve your skin, but not getting enough can cause problems like acne, eczema, and dermatitis.
