Cosmetic products are a great thing, but to be beautiful it is important to pay careful attention to what you eat. Check out with what kind of foods and in what combinations you can achieve the desired goal – groomed and youthful appearance.

Almonds for youth

Almonds are full of vitamin E, which is, as you must know, ingredient that is contained in many creams made for fighting premature skin aging. Almonds contain high quantities of antioxidant called selenium, as well as fatty acids that help the skin stay elastic. However, do not nibble almonds all day, because they have a lot of calories. Settle for a handful portion for a day.

Chicken breast for stronger nails

Keratin is found in the nails, and protein-rich foods are what you need to keep your nails strong and well hydrated. To be more specific, prepare chicken breast as often as you can without skin, other foods that will bring similar benefits are lean turkey, tuna and beans.

Eggs for shiny hair

Best “medicine” for dull and inelastic hair is vitamin B and silicic acid. The eggs, milk, green vegetables and meat will provide vitamin B, and to get your daily dose of silicic acid, eat oatmeal, onions and bean sprouts.

Eat fish to fight dandruff

The best solution for dry scalp is eating fish regularly. You should choose the ones like salmon, mackerel or sardines because they contain more healthy fats. Besides the other numerous benefits they also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which moisturize and nourish the skin.

Zinc to fight pimples

You can win the war against the pimples with the help of food rich with zinc and calcium.

A Swedish study found that you can almost completely clearer pimples by taking pills with zinc for only three months.

However you do not have to take pills because oysters and other seafood, turkey, eggs and milk are full of zinc. And to get enough of calcium, which is beneficial for bones, use skimmed milk, cheese with low fat and yogurt.

Slow aging with Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for building collagen, which keeps skins elasticity and delays the appearance of wrinkles. So start eating kiwi regularly. In one small kiwi there is enough of Vitamin C to supply you for a whole day. Other excellent sources of this vitamin are pomegranates, oranges, mangoes and papaya.

Get rid of dark circles

If you increase the intake of iron and vitamin C at the same time, circles around your eyes will no longer cause trouble. All you have to do is eat chicken breast with peppers. You can mix them together and fry them, adding some garlic and onions.
