Dr. Oz says...

...that by eating red peppers your body will build and repair collagen fibers within your skin. They have twice the amount of Vitamin C per serving than that of an orange; and fewer calories. Vitamin C, while inside your body, will link collagen fibers that are otherwise broken apart or "wrinkled"; it plays as a "Natural Botox". All you need is about a 1/2 cup of red peppers per day; that's only 20 calories!

Okay, Next one...

...you need natural OMEGA-3's every week to help improve dry skin. His recommendation was to throw trout into the weekly dinner mix. Instead of always eating salmon as fish, try trout. All you need is about 1-2 average size fillets (trout or salmon) per week to do the job.

This ones good...

...you need to eat collard greens because it helps with acne. It's rich in Vitamin A which will help with natural acne reduction from the inside out. All you need is about 1/2 cup of cooked, collard greens per week. He suggests we cook them in olive oil and mix with garlic to help maintain the bitterness.

And...

...that capers, which are rich in Quercetin, are natural antihistamines for the body. By throwing just a tablespoon of capers into your food per week, it will naturally reduce redness and inflammation within the skin.

Also...

...that eating pink grapefruit, which are rich in Lycopene, will naturally protect your skin from the suns harmful UV rays. It "handcuffs" oxygen molecules together in the cell, so they can't be broken by the sun rays; all while keeping the cell safe from destruction. Just a 1/2 grapefruit per week should do the trick, (up to one per week thereafter).
