Living in a city environment can wreak havoc on your skin. While Hoboken and Jersey City are notoriously less polluted than other cities, even a short daily commute could put your complexion at risk. Luckily, antioxidants help fight back against environmental aggressors {think, pollution, harmful UV rays, smoke, etc}. While many people {rightfully!} reach for a topical antioxidant serum to act as a shield for their skin, eating antioxidant-rich foods can also help ward off skin-damaging free radicals from the inside out. Carrots are loaded with vitamin A and beta-carotene, two antioxidants that help support healthy skin, along with good eye health and vision. Plus, carrots don’t have to be boring. The curried carrot fries from Quality Greens Kitchen will deceive you—they’re that good.

Growing out your hair can be the most frustrating activity, but sipping on this plant-packed green juice will help speed up the process. While it’s full of good-for-you nutrients like celery, cucumber, kale, romaine, chard, and cilantro, one ingredient, in particular, will get you closer to your hair goals. Blue-green algae, also known as spirulina, is known to promote hair growth.

Menu Item: Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon Filet

When in doubt, order the salmon. Typically, the most health-conscious menu item available, salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids that keep your skin supple and moisturized, preventing fine lines and other signs of aging. Salmon also is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help improve signs of acne.

Anthony David’s {953 Bloomfield Street}

Menu Item: Southwestern Omelette

Egg yolks get a bad rep. In addition to being a brunch staple, egg yolks are rich in biotin — a form of vitamin B that helps strengthen brittle nails, increases hair growth, and generally improves the condition of your skin. In addition to biotin, the southwestern omelette also includes avocado, which provides skincare benefits similar to salmon since it’s also classified as a “healthy fat.”  Brunch has never looked so good{literally}.

Menu Item: Watermelon Margarita

While watermelon margaritas aren’t necessarily the new kale, your skin really does benefit from this happy hour favorite. Watermelon is packed with vitamin C, which helps your body produce collagen — a protein that helps improve skin elasticity. As we age, our body produces less collagen on its own, which causes us to show visible signs of aging like wrinkles, dullness. Go ahead and give your skin a bartender-induced boost. Bottoms up.
