Your skin is the largest organ you have and it’s one of the only ones you can actually see. It’s also exposed to things like the weather and UV rays and can be a very visible indicator of health issues, so it’s important to treat it right. Here are some foods that can help keep your skin with that healthy glow:


  • Sunflower seeds: Most nuts and seeds are a good boost for your skin and sunflower seeds are a perfect example. One ounce contains 37% of your daily value of Vitamin E and also good amounts of selenium and zinc, which will all help boost skin health.
 
  • Salmon: Salmon and other fatty fish (mackerel and herring too) are high in Omega-3s that help keep your skin moisturized.
 
  • Tomatoes: Tomatoes are high in Vitamin C to help fight wrinkles and also a carotenoid called lycopene. Lycopene helps increase your skin’s sun-protection abilities.
 
  • Green Tea: Full of polyphenols and specifically epicatechins, green tea helps boost blood flow, oxygen, and nutrient delivery to the skin. These antioxidants also decrease the damaging effects of UV rays.
 
  • Kale: This leafy green is full of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which can help increase collagen production to keep your skin supple yet strong.
 
  • Bell Peppers: While just one cup of red bell pepper can provide around 300% of your daily value of Vitamin C, they’ll also yield 92% DV of Vitamin A.
 
  • Sweet Potatoes: These are packed with beta carotene that your skin uses as a natural sunblock of sorts. This can help avoid cell damage and dried and wrinkly skin. The beta carotene is converted to Vitamin A and just a half-cup serving will provide you with 400% of your DV of Vitamin A.

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
