According to a recent survey conducted between 7th to 22nd December by YouGov, a research consulting firm, 72% of women in India find healthy dietary changes as an important step for beautiful looking skin.

The quantitative survey by YouGov aimed to assess the correlation between beauty and snacking, and understand women’s snacking patterns for beauty benefits.The survey was conducted amongst a sample size of 3,959 women in cities like Delhi, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Jaipur, Indore, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bangalore, Coimbatore, Hyderabad and Chennai.

As per the survey results, it is important to note that 100% of women in India are of the opinion that beauty shines through by being healthy rather than using topical skincare products.Majority of the respondents feel that having a healthy diet along with relaxing when needed and exercising are key to a balanced lifestyle which thereby results into achieving a healthy skin.

Overall, the results indicate that majority of the females prefer to snack on healthy and nutritious food items such as almonds and fruits as they recognize the beauty benefits of fruits and almonds in particular.

Talking specifically in terms of maintaining a healthy diet, most women see a consequent benefit of achieving beautiful looking skin with home meals, a fibre-rich diet and snacking on nuts like almonds.

Almonds have emerged as a top choice amongst Indian women as they associate Vitamin E with better skin health.Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E [1]- thus, almonds are ranked highest on this aspect amongst all nuts.

Besides, the survey highlights the fact that 59% of women consume almonds on a daily basis, mostly soaked or raw.This makes almonds the most regularly consumed nut.

Females of the age group 30-39 and Millennials rate almonds highly on aspects such as wrinkle reduction, skin glow and skin protection.Whereas Gen X highly associates consumption of almonds with reduction of wrinkles.

This assessment is reinforced by their personal experience as they report having observed positive effects on skin after eating almonds.In fact, those who have been consuming almonds for over 6 months report positive impacts such as skin glow and younger looking skin more than those who started consuming almonds lately.

Commenting on the results of the survey, Sheela Krishnaswamy, Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, said, “It is great to see survey results indicating stronger adoption of the idea that a healthy lifestyle, including healthy snacking, can elevate one’s skin health.Almonds are known to be a rich source of antioxidant vitamin E and deliver essential fatty acids and polyphenols, which make them a great choice .A recent study suggests that almonds can help improve facial wrinkles and skin tone, a finding that supports the belief that almonds promote skin health among survey participants.I encourage women to include them in their daily diet, to support healthier skin.

With time, people have grown more conscious about their health as well as nutrition.This has been rightly reflected on the survey, where the results show that Indian women are concerned about their appearance and are mindful of what they consume to stay healthy.

As per the survey, a healthy diet coupled with regular exercise and sleep is a perfect recipe for a healthy and glowing skin.
