This month's skin fitness food is SPINACH.
Good old spinach is not as trendy as kale but it has a lot to offer for a very reasonable price. Here's why it's great for your skin: As the largest organ of the body, skin is full of lipids (fats), proteins and DNA, all of which breakdown from oxidation (exposure to oxygen). Spinach is not only a great source of antioxidants, it also contains folate, which can help reduce skin cancer risk by repairing the DNA in sun-damaged cells.
