Food for Beauty

The food we eat is very important if we want a radiant, glowing skin, healthy hair and nails. Less water causes dull skin, acne or other affections. Dietitians recommend people to consume 7-8 glasses of water daily. Whole grains instead of white flour can also be a good steep towards a healthier you. A balanced diet, with vitamins and minerals is nature's miracle solution for a glowing skin.

Proteins are very important for repairing body tissue. Without enough proteins, the skin and hair causes dull skin and a dry scalp. Vegetarians are more exposed because their diet tends to be low on proteins. That is why they need to eat protein rich foods, such as peas, beans, cheese, milk, soya beans or sprouts. Freshly made cheese is an excellent source of proteins and sprouted beans are rich in Vitamin B and C. Yogurt is also recommended because it cleans your intestines and gives your skin a healthy look.

Sugar is one of those carbohydrate rich food which has no value. It even causes acne, slows the circulation and leads to obesity. For a healthier living, replace sugar with brown sugar or honey which purifies the body, getting rid of toxins. White flour or white bread constitute as excess carbohydrates that are stored as fat. Fat is not needed except in small quantities for a good circulation and supple skin. Fiber is also very important, promoting radiant flossy skin and clear eyes.
