Nutrition, the key to natural beauty?
Food is much more than just fuel for our bodies; it's a true beauty ally. What we eat has a direct impact on the condition of our skin, hair and nails. By incorporating certain foods into your diet, you can promote radiant skin, strong, healthy hair and resistant nails.
Superfoods for Beauty
- Colorful fruits and vegetables: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, they combat cellular aging and protect the skin from external aggressors. Choose berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), carrots, peppers, spinach and green leafy vegetables.
- Omega-3s: found in oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseed, walnuts and avocado, they deeply moisturize the skin, strengthen the cutaneous barrier and promote healthy hair growth.
- Proteins: Essential for tissue repair, proteins are found in meat, fish, eggs, legumes (lentils, chickpeas), seeds and dairy products. They contribute to strong hair and nails.
- Zinc: This mineral is essential for the production of keratin, the main protein in hair and nails. It is found in oysters, red meat, pumpkin seeds, almonds and lentils.
- Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant, it stimulates collagen production, essential for skin firmness and elasticity. Citrus fruits, kiwis, peppers and strawberries are good sources.
