Facial exercises for young skin (Walla system!)
Skin problems are very common and can appear at any age.
Many people suffer from problems such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea and other problems, and even those who do not suffer from any skin disease will certainly not object to the appearance of young and wrinkle-free skin.
Well, it turns out that by eating right and living a healthy lifestyle, we can achieve healthy and better-looking skin.
So what should you eat - and what should you avoid?
1. Be sure to eat a diet based on real foods such as vegetables, meat, fish, fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils such as olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil.
It is important to avoid industrial and processed foods, as well as industrial edible oils (such as corn oil and canola oil), and sugar.
2. Add to your diet foods rich in vitamin A, which encourages skin regeneration and improves the function of the immune system.
Foods rich in vitamin A include: liver, egg yolks, fish oil, and milk from grass-fed animals.

3. Add foods rich in zinc to your diet.
Zinc encourages the healing of wounds, improves the function of the immune system, protects from solar radiation, and prevents inflammation.
The best sources of zinc are liver, red meat, seafood, and pumpkin seeds.
4. Be sure to eat foods rich in vitamin C, which is essential for the production of healthy collagen, and protects against the formation of wrinkles and even protects from sunlight.
The best sources of vitamin C are peppers of all colors, guavas, dark leafy greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, citrus fruits, and strawberries.

5. Put about 450 grams of oily sea fish into your menu every week.
These fish contain omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory.
An insufficient amount of omega-3 in the diet can negatively affect the health of the skin and worsen inflammatory conditions.
Oily sea fish include: sardines, tuna, mackerel, herring, and white fish.
6. Be sure to regularly eat pickled foods (such as sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi).
The pickled foods improve gut health, and gut health is closely related to skin health.
The pickled foods contain both probiotics (beneficial bacteria), and dietary fibers that support intestinal health.

7. Add bone broth to your diet.
The bone broth contains amino acids that contribute to the elasticity of the skin and its recovery.
To prepare the soup, use bones that contain cartilage and connective tissue and cook them for 8-12 hours.
Try to drink one or two cups of this soup every day.
And it's not just the diet
Make sure to sleep between 7 and 9 hours at night.
Sleep has a significant effect on the health of the skin, the appearance of the skin, and the healing of wounds.
Ensure your sleep is good by budgeting enough hours for sleep, making sure your room is cool and dark, and making sure your bed is comfortable.

In addition, be sure to exercise correctly.
Both too little and too much exercise can negatively affect skin health.
It is important that you combine both aerobic activity such as walking or jogging, and strength training such as lifting weights.
It is important to avoid overtraining which is a source of stress and can lead to hormonal imbalance and skin problems.
Take care to reduce your stress, which may worsen skin problems, especially skin problems with an autoimmune background (such as psoriasis).
To reduce stress, it is important that you include stress-reducing methods such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga in your daily routine.
