Eating for your beauty

Did you know?

Eating healthy is the best thing you can do for your skin before you resort to beauty treatment such as scrubbing, exfoliating and the works.  In fact your beauty should start from within. Your skin is made up of three layers:- The epidermis (outermost layer of skin that provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone)
The dermis ( the layer beneath the epidermis that contains a tough connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat glands)
The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made up of fat and connective tissue.
As we know that the skin makes the part of who we are, we should keep it clean, protected and healthy. The first step is watch what we eat because what you eat is what you become. Naturally we have three food groups and those are:- Energy giving foods ( the carbohydrates and starch)
The body building foods ( the vitamins and minerals)
And the body protective foods(the proteins which their duty is to repair the torn skin cells.

Now we start a routine plan to take care of our beauty. 

Did you know?

For a glowing complexion you have to eat red fruit as your midmorning snack. Take for example a tomato - Tomatoes are packed with liposenene acid and antioxidants which are responsible for rejuvenation of skin cells. You can eat strawberries as well and they will help to lift up your happy mood, as we all know that stress is not good for our skin. You can also try the avocados they are good too, you can enjoy them as salads or smoothies 

( I have the recipes in the book I mentioned earlier) Foods that are packed with vitamin A and D are good for our skin as well as our eyesight and such foods are :- pumpkins, carrots, apples and so on. Eating a balanced meal with lots of vitamins and proteins helps to improve hair growth and strength. Take also multivitamins and drink a lot of water. You can try detox water it is good also especially with lemon.

 Even the smoothies are also good as a breakfast on the go. If your schedule is busy grabbing a smoothie is an answer. (see the recipes in the book I mentioned earlier)
Your kitchen is the right place to start your beauty therapy. In your cupboard there are also products you can use on your skin as a beauty treatment. Right there in your cupboard there are toners exfoliators and facial musks. We will reserve this topic for another issue. For now we are focusing on our inner beauty.
