Say goodbye to your wrinkles by eating raisins
Hoda Einollahi, a dermatologist and hair specialist, said about the effects of raisins on skin and hair, saying goodbye to your wrinkles by eating raisins: One of the prominent features of raisins is that they have high energy and low fat, which makes the skin fresh and beautiful.
Unlike topical creams, raisins can protect the skin from any damage, he added. Raisins contain phenols and antioxidants that prevent free radicals from damaging skin cells, collagen and elastin.
Einollahi said: Raisins delay the signs of skin aging such as wrinkles, dark lines and blemishes. The antioxidants in raisins accelerate the skin’s regenerative system and prevent any damage. In addition to these functions, raisins can rejuvenate skin cells and prevent them from loosening.
Raisins even contain resveratrol (a very useful substance for maintaining healthy skin), he said. It removes dangerous and toxic cells from the blood and also helps to improve the production of red blood cells.
The dermatologist explained: Blood toxicity has acidosis and can increase the body’s acidity, so it can cause side effects such as dandruff, pimples and psoriasis on the skin. Meanwhile, raisins can neutralize stomach acid due to their high content of magnesium and potassium.
Eating black raisins will help the liver function better to eliminate poisoning, he said. Removing toxins from the body helps to cleanse and brighten the skin. Raisins also help protect the skin from sun damage. Amino acids in raisins help regenerate and strengthen the skin and form a protective barrier against sun damage. They can even prevent cancer in a person. The antioxidants in raisins fight free radicals in the body and reduce oxidation, they will also prevent the breakdown of DNA in our skin.
Ainollahi said: Raisins contain vitamins A and E, which will help stimulate the outer layers of the skin to create new cells. Raisins can even make it easier for the skin to absorb water and make it look younger, more supple.
