Here are some of the benefits:

Blueberries: Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that protect your body from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage your cells and contribute to acne, inflammation, aging, and chronic disease. (1, 2, 3)

Flaxseed: Fiber-rich flaxseed is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Omega-3 rich foods can help reduce breakouts and speed the rate at which wounds heal. (4)

Hemp seed: Hemp seeds are an excellent source of easy-to-digest plant protein. They also provide fiber and omega-3s, as well as a variety of phytonutrients. (5, 6)

Chia seeds: Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, providing a whopping 10g of fiber per ounce. Fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar, which is key to maintaining blemish-free skin. They’re also rich in antioxidants and omega-3. (7, 8)

Banana: Bananas are rich in fiber and antioxidants that fight free radicals. (9, 10)
