As the new year unfolds, many of us take a moment to consider our health and wellbeing. For some, this might mean trying new workouts, signing up for classes, or simply re-evaluating daily habits. In January, one trend that continues to gain popularity is Veganuary, where people challenge themselves to adopt a plant based diet for the month.
Even if you’re not quite ready to go fully vegan, increasing the amount of fresh fruit, vegetables, wholegrains, and legumes in your meals can offer a host of health benefits. Think of it as an opportunity to reset your eating habits, boost your vitality, and start the new year feeling energised!
We are what we eat
We often say “we are what we eat” because the food we choose to put on our plates truly influences our overall health and appearance. A balanced, nutrient rich diet can help maintain a healthy weight, support immune function, and improve mental clarity. In addition to this, what we eat has a direct impact on how our skin looks and feels.
Which foods are good for our skin?
High quality proteins, healthy fats, antioxidants, and plenty of hydration all contribute to a more radiant and resilient complexion. Even small changes, such as incorporating leafy greens, berries, and nuts, or swapping sugary snacks for fresh fruit, can lead to noticeable differences.
Proper hydration helps keep the skin supple, reducing dryness and fine lines, while essential vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables can promote a natural, healthy glow.
Adding supplements to your diet
Beyond your daily meals, supplements can offer additional support to ensure you’re getting the right balance of nutrients. At KAST Aesthetics in Cheshire, we have recently introduced NAD+ supplements to help our patients improve their energy levels and their skin health.
NAD+ is a vital molecule found in every cell of the body, playing a key role in energy production, cellular repair, and maintaining a youthful, vibrant appearance. As we age, our natural NAD+ levels decline, which can leave us feeling fatigued, less focused, and prone to duller, less elastic skin.
The benefits of NAD+
Nuchido Time+ is a NAD+ supplement that can be used to complement positive diet and lifestyle choices. While fruits, vegetables, and proper hydration form the foundation of good health, a high quality supplement can help fill in the gaps and enhance the benefits you’re already working towards.
Combined with a balanced diet rich in plant based foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, NAD+ supplementation can help you achieve the glowing, energised, and youthful look we all strive for.
As you embrace the new year, consider giving Veganuary a try or simply upping your fruit and veg intake. Incorporate more whole, plant based foods into your meals and remain mindful of how much water you’re drinking, your skin will thank you for doing this!
