Food for Beauty: The Natural Gourmet Institute
Are there any foods you can suggest that are particularly good for hair, nail, or skin health?
Fat: Good fat is what I have noticed, especially for hair. That means coconut oil, eggs, avocado, butter, fatty fish with lots of omega 3s like mackerel, salmon; also nuts like walnuts and flaxseed. Sea vegetables, like hijiki and arame, are good as well.
Key Vitamins are essential for skin health: Vitamin A, from colorful vegetables like carrots, Vitamin D, Biotin – A b- complex vitamin that controls sugar in the blood and promotes good hair growth is also important and can be found in egg yolks, liver, peanut, protein rich foods, banana, and avocados.
