In the pursuit of beauty, it is often thought that skincare products and hair treatments are the answer. But what if I told you that one of the most potent beauty secrets lies within your diet? Adequate dietary protein is a cornerstone of both internal and external beauty, contributing to the health of your skin, hair, nails and overall wellbeing. There are several ways that protein contributes to your skin's health and appearance.
• Collagen production: Collagen is a protein that forms the structural foundation of your skin. It provides elasticity, strength and firmness, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Adequate protein intake supports collagen production, contributing to youthful-looking skin.
• Wound healing: Protein is essential for the regeneration of skin cells and the repair of damaged tissues. It plays a crucial role in the healing process of cuts, scrapes and other skin injuries, helping to minimise scarring.
• Moisture retention: Proteins help maintain the skin's natural moisture balance. A lack of dietary protein can lead to dry, flaky skin, making it essential to include protein-rich foods in your diet.
• Defence against free radicals: Antioxidant proteins help protect your skin from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. This defence mechanism keeps your skin looking youthful.
