THE SKIN

Many people try to solve the problem of oily,dry or any skin type by using products which are applied externally,without taking into consideration the fact that food we eat either build or destroys the cells of our body. Eating an abundant quality of fruits and vegetables which provides vitamin A and C such as tomatoes, carrot,avocados,lemon,limes.These fruits and vegetables are important for the building of skin cells,collagen and antioxidants.Collagen is a supportive protein fibre that improves skin's elasticity while antioxidants defends our body against free radicals which destroys the cells and DNA of the body.Collagen and antioxidants work hand in hand to give and maintain the beauty,firmness and youth of the skin.The elimination of foods over loaded with spice,abstinence from toxins( alcoholic beverages,cigarette,cocaine,caffeine)and replacing the use of animal fats with sunflower or olive oil will be sufficient to restore health to an abused skin and also improve the appearance of one's body inside out.

HAIR and NAILS

Hair and nails are body tissues,for this reason,a deficient diet may lead to broken fingernails with small white spots and dry colourless dull looking hair. Certain hair diseases such as dandruff,hair loss at times may be aggravated by diet lacking minerals such as iron,zinc,silicon,magnesium which are necessary for soft and shiny hair as well as resistant and well formed nails.We should have a diet rich in vitamins and minerals which maybe found mostly in fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, soy beans, cashew,spinach, almond , oranges, lentil,banana to obtain the result we want.Caution excess of these minerals can as well cause damage to the hair so they should be ingested with moderation.

THE EYES

The nutrition condition of person can sometimes be seen in the appearance of the eyes. Clear,shiny eyes with no redness ,no scales on the eye-lids are an indication of good nutrition. Here are deficiencies in vitamins(A and B2 ) that are perceived in the eyes:night blindness, falling and dryness of eyebrows,redness. Coloured vegetables such as carrots,tomatoes,pepper are a good source of vitamin A in the form of carotene (pro-vitamin).

SMILES

A smile is a sign of good nutrition and magnifies body beauty. Nevertheless,a smile may not be attractive if it does not reveal healthy teeth. To help teeth grow strong and well formed,it is necessary to combine 3 factors:periodic vigilance(vigilant on the type of food we let enter our mouths), hygiene(brushing regularly advisable 2 times in a day) and proper diet(healthy food). Foods rich in calcium such as dry fruits and milk,green tea,vegetables and fruits which contain vitamin A and C,onion,cheese and protein provide the needed ingredient to form healthy,strong,clean gum and teeth.On the other hand,food and drinks that are loaded with sugar are the worst enemies to the teeth for they favour the development of caries. Snacking between meals or eating in between meals is the prescription for getting cavities in your teeth

WEIGHT
