5 Foods That Can Help Your Skin Look Better And Healthier According To Health Experts
We all know that eating lots of fruits and vegetables plays a vital role not only in our overall health but also in the appearance of our skin. But did you know that certain fruits are especially skin-friendly according to health experts. In this particular write-up, I bring you the top five foods you should stock up on if you want healthy, glowing skin that radiates an inner glow.
Blueberries: The original super foods, these ‘little blue dynamos’ have great nutritional weight for their size. A fantastic source of antioxidants and rich in fiber and vitamins A and C, adding them to your diet will do great things for your skin.
Apples: They may not be a trendy new superfood, but the faithful apple is still a skin favorite for good reason. For young skin, choose the Red Delicious variety, which contains the highest collagen content to promote skin elasticity.
Watermelon: With the arrival of summer, we can’t wait to start eating fresh watermelon again. Sweet and refreshing with over 90% water, eating this delicious fruit will hydrate your skin from the inside out.
Bananas: Banana is one of the best sources of potassium, a mineral vital for maintaining the skin’s hydration balance. Extremely dry skin is a classic symptom of potassium deficiency, so try including a banana as part of your daily fruit intake.
Pineapple: Pineapple has been used in some cultures as a medicinal plant for years, as it is the only fruit that contains an enzyme called bromelain, which fights inflammation and swelling of the skin.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
