1.) Water....drink plenty of it...makes skin look soft and supple when it's hydrated.
2.)Vitamin C- keeps the immune system strong and promotes the production of collagen.....foods with Vit C include all citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, and cabbage
3.)Green Tea- rich in anti-oxidants to combat cancer producing free radicals, a great way to try it is to replace your morning cup o joe and have it with NO cream or sugar (if you absolutely HATE the taste without cream or sugar, try using Splenda in it)
4.)Soy- rich in amino acids, Vitamin E and anti-oxidants, helps to smooth out skins appearance, retain moisture, and improve elasticity
5.)Essential Fatty Acids- such as Omega 3 and Omega 6 which are known as "good fats" which help in cellular functioning. This helps skin, hair, nails, muscles, practically ANYTHING involving your physical appearance. Helps to clear up skin, improve elasticity, reduce wrinkles and improve hair condition and nail growth!!!!!!
6.)Milk.....need I say more about it (strong bones/teeth) also helps with red blood cell growth so much needed oxygen can be transported.....which means healthier/livlier skin and hair!
7.)Green Veggies- (spinach, kale, collard greens) i know a lot of people hate these but they contain Vitamins A, C, E, iron and fiber. Vitamin A has antioxidant properties and helps maintain moisture for eyes/ skin and mucous membranes.....VITAMIN E is essential for maintaining healthy, smooth younger looking skin!!
8.)Yogurt- contains friendly bacteria which aids in digestion (yes girls, it helps keep you regular!!!!) it improves the immune system and helps hydrate and cleanse the skin!! (and for those with frequent yeast infections, it helps reduce those too!!!!)
9.)Garlic- helps reduce blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and even prevent cancer. It's also rich in anti-oxidants which help you stay looking young (you can find it in capsule form if you can't stand the smell or taste!!!!!)
10.) CHOCOLATE!!!!! -yes girls CHOCOLATE!!! BUT there is a catch of course! IN SMALL AMOUNTS!!! and the best kind is dark, which sucks for us Milk chocolate lovers. It helps pump up endorphins and serotonin which help with good moods!!! REMEMBER! SMALL AMOUNTS!!!
On top of all this, just plain a balanced diet, a good amount of exercise and incorporating some of the stuff above and I'll GUARANTEE you'll be getting compliments!!!! (I know I am!!!!)

I like green tea, too, though.
I've been using that sweetner forever now.
