A new you for a new year? A popular thought at this time of year and one that often takes more of us into the gym or onto the pavements for walks, runs or bike rides. All good news but did you know about the benefits (and pitfalls) to your skin associated with fat loss?
How fat loss regimes can help your skin…
Increased aerobic exercise will deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your skin helping to generate a ‘glow’.
Increased lean muscle as a result of weight training will help to support the skin and prevent ageing.
Short term weight loss can reduce bloatedness in face and body
Good fats often included in fat loss plans can help keep your skin and hair shiny and healthy.
The right fat provides energy and allows the body to absorb essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E and K which are great for your skin.
Avocado’s are a great source of fatty acids also great for moisturizing your skin
Be careful not to…
Neglect your skin post work out, sweat can be a cause of blemishes and acne.
Forget SPF if you’re training outside as part of your weight loss plan
Forget to keep your skin moisturised as frequent hot showers post workout can dry your skin out.
Lose sleep! Hormone levels can change due to your activity and dietary changes, ensuring your carb count isn’t too low can help ensure your hormone balance is ripe for a great night sleep.
Moisturise skin to prevent drying from frequent showering post-workout.
