Eating for Beauty

What you eat reflects not only your inner health but outer beauty too! You are what you eat. The quality of your skin and hair shows and is affected by the state of your health. So how can you achieve a glowing skin, glossy hair and a beautiful body?

By eating the right kind of foods that have an amazing array of phytonutrients and antioxidants that energize the body and soul. These superfoods are available in abundance on our Earth and are also very good for combating stress, depression, anxiety, aggression and insomnia. They enhance your beauty and give you a smooth complexion, beautiful shiny hair and skin. 

Apart from boosting the immune system and preventing disease, foods rich in Vitamin C help you in staying youthful and defying age naturally. Vitamin C helps tissue to grow and repair, it is vital in collagen formation required for preventing wrinkles and is crucial for healthy teeth and gums.  

B Vitamins  are essential for healthy hair. B2 regulates the scalp’s sebum, B5 improves the structure and shine of the hair and B8 reduces hair loss and slows down the emergence of grey hair. 

Zinc aids hair growth. Zinc deficiency hinders the formation of keratin, causing hair follicles to atrophy. Calcium and phosphorus form the mineral base of our bones. Calcium strengthens nails and makes them grow. Iron is a fortifying trace element that enriches red blood cells. Essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6 limit water loss in skin cells. 

Some of the amazing superfoods that provide you with all these vitamins and minerals required by the body for beauty and overall well-being advocated by David Wolfe, a Superfood Nutrition Expert and author of many books on Superfood are mentioned below: 

Marine Phytoplankton is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, amino acids, chlorophyll and minerals. It provides the body with instant energy directly at the cellular level. It contains almost everything necessary to sustain life and build healthy new cells. 

Golden Inca Berries are high in phosphorus and vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6, and B12. For a fruit, they are a good source of protein (16%) and rich in Pectin. The vitamin C content in one berry is equal to that of several oranges!

Another superfood Raw Cacao has a high antioxidant content, many times better than Green Tea, Red Wine and Blueberries. The antioxidants in Cacao are highly stable and easily available to human metabolism. In its raw natural form, Raw Cacao has the highest Vitamin C content. It is also very rich in minerals, a natural source of magnesium, chromium, iron, calcium, potassium, sulfur, copper and zinc.

So with a judicious mix of the many superfoods available, you can eat your way to a beautiful body without spending a huge amount of money on cosmetics!
