BLUEBERRIES—

SPINACH—
This leafy green is a great source for Vitamins A and C. Vitamin A is great for improving and evening skin tone, while vitamin C is vital for skin cell growth and repair. The benefits of this other superfood do not just stop at your skin. Spinach helps increase energy, improve brain function, lowers blood pressure, and boost immunity. Maybe Popeye was onto something…
