Who does not want to
look good and beautiful? You all want to :)
When you are healthy
from the inside you will automatically look beautiful and fresh from the
outside. When you eat healthy diet and feel fresh, the products working on you from
the outside will result 10 times smarter. Beauty is not just about having a
beautiful face or hands; it is also about having stronger nails and hair.
Our nails and hair are
made of keratin and paying attention on one can also benefit the other, but why
not we pay equal attention to both of them?
For your assistance
here's a list of foods you should not ignore for your nails and also for your
hair:
EGGS:
Eggs contain Vitamin D
and are a very good source of protein. They also have B-complex vitamin which
is called Biotin. Biotin plays a vital role in the development of keratin. If
you have a deficiency of biotin you may take biotin supplements as per your
nutritionist's advice.
FISH:
Fish contains omega-3
fatty acids and is also a source of protein and biotin. Omega-3 fatty acids
promote healthy and moisturized skin and reduce inflammation. It also has
Vitamin A which is needed to nourish your cuticles. Fish oil promotes healthy
hair, nails and skin. You may also include fish oil supplements in your diet.
SPINACH:
Spinach is a good
source of iron. Iron deficiency can lead to brittle and dull nails. Spinach
being a green vegetable also contains chlorophyll in its leaves which is great
for skin, hair and nail growth.
ALMONDS:
Almonds carry magnesium
and also are rich in Vitamin B, biotin which develops keratin in our body to
strengthen your nails. Magnesium is anti-stress agent, therefore it is good for
hair and nails. Vitamin E in almond adds beauty to you.
MILK:
Milk is the major
source of calcium. We need to deposit calcium in our body till the age of 25-30
by drinking as much milk as possible because calcium is best for our bones,
nails and hair. Vitamin D is necessary to absorb calcium. Consult your
nutritionist for vitamin D supplement.
OYSTERS:
Oysters are a key source
mineral of providing zinc. Oysters provide 74 grams of zinc per serving. No
other food can provide this quantity of zinc in your diet, but if you don't
like oysters you can fulfill your requirements by taking poultry, beef and
baked beans and lobsters.
CASHEWS:
Cashews hold zinc which
is an essential building block for connecting tissues. It also helps in
building protein in our nails and fulfills our requirements of zinc. Including
a handful of cashews in your diet daily can provide 40% of zinc and 10% of
regular serving of iron and protein.
FLAXSEEDS:
You can get rid of
brittle nails by including flaxseeds in your diet as they contain fatty acids
and they are vital for your nails and hair. You can use flaxseed oil in
casseroles to fulfill the requirements or use flaxseeds as salad dressings.
Include these in your diet and enjoy strong nails naturally. Cheers! :)
