Secret of Fabulous Skin

For Fabulous SKIN, eat foods rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, E and Omega 3 fats.Beta Carotene helps maintain epithelial tissue and acts as antioxidant. Therefore, it can help to prevent premature wrinkling. Beta carotene is found in deep orange fruits and vegetables like sweet potato, carrots, mango and apricots.

Vitamin C is involved in the production of collagen, the "glue" that holds the body's cells together – skin included. Deficiencies can cause bruising, loss of skin elasticity, and poor healing of cuts and scrapes. And like beta carotene, Vitamin C acts as antioxidant.

Good sources include red peppers, oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, and broccoli.

Vitamin E Acts as a potent anti-oxidant – preserving healthy skin cells from free radicals. Good sources include wheat germ, almonds, peanut butter and avocado

Omega 3 Fats helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes. Foods include fatty fish like salmon and sardines, omega 3 fortified eggs, flaxseeds and walnuts.

For Healthy HAIR eat foods high in Iron rich protein and B- vitamins.

Iron-Rich Protein Iron delivers oxygen to cells all over the body – including hair follicles. Foods include red meat, turkey, oysters, lentils and eggs.

B-Vitamins: (B6, B12 and folate) Involved in building red blood cells… and helps to circulate oxygen. This improves the physical properties – elasticity, strength and gloss of the hair shaft.
