• Nuts & seeds – almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds

🍓 Antioxidant-Rich Fruits & Veggies

• Berries – rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C

• Carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes – high in beta-carotene for a natural glow

• Spinach, kale, broccoli – loaded with Vitamins A, C, and K

🦴 Collagen-Boosting Foods

• Bone broth – natural collagen source

☀️ Skin-Protective Superfoods

🍽️ How to Eat for Glowing Skin

• 💧 Stay hydrated – water, herbal teas, and water-rich foods

• 🌈 Eat a rainbow – the more color, the more nutrients

🌙 Glow-Life Habits
