Nutrition for Healthy Skin & Hair


Who doesn't want great skin & a head full of healthy hair!?

Many of us search for the answer to healthy skin and hair in the beauty and cosmetics isle, department stores or cosmetic department to purchase expensive products that stop work if they stop using. Like most things in life, we are seeking outside of ourselves for an answer when the answer is within (my yoga & buddha peeps know what I am talking about).

But the same rings true for your skin. Your skin and scalp are nourished from deep within and can be a great source of knowledge of our true health; vitamin deficiencies, dehydration and declining health.
Glowing skin and thick hair typically represent youth, beauty, desirability, and fertility = signs of health. We are naturally attracted to these qualities because in animal lingo that equals better reproduction.
Am I saying for us ladies to run out and start buying pre-natal vitamins? Sort of.
I want you to look at what are the key vitamins in pre-natal vitamins to support your health and that of one growing..those are what our body craves.
A big problem with our society is that we lack nutrition. Most meals are focused around calories and not health. The best way to get your vitamins - a bright colorful plate of nature.

Did they have a pharmacy on every corner and recommend pre-natal vitamins back in the day?
The main times in history that we were as unhealthy as we are now is when there were famines.
We are a nutritional starved nation.

Get back to your roots (pun intended): Eat more veggies and fruit.

Hair Growth Smoothie Recipies - Musely:

For those who don't have the taste buds for all that. Consider veggies and fruits in a capsule.
Not a vitamin. Real Food in a Capsule.

Inflammation: A Sneaky Culprit Destroying Your Health.

Image
If you want to eat for long-term health, lowering inflammation is crucial. Inflammation in the body causes or contributes to many debilitating, chronic illnesses — including osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , heartdisease , Alzheimer’s disease , Parkinson’s disease , and even cancer . Recent research finds that eating this way not only helps protect against certain diseases , but it also slows the aging process by stabilizing blood sugar and increasing metabolism. Plus, although the goal is to optimize health, many people find they also lose weight by following an anti-inflammatory eating pattern. What is inflammation? Let’s clear the air: Inflammation is a totally normal bodily function. It is generally triggered by the immune system when it recognizes an invader or damage to tissue that must be kept under control. The immune system stimulates different cells and proteins—like white blood cells—to help eliminate the threat of an outside invader and ...

Sugar Is Sabotaging Your Health

Image
“As a nation, we’ve got a problem with sugar . Our damaging relationship with the sweet stuff is the impetus behind the creation of SugarScience , a new Web site from researchers at University of California San Francisco. Thanks to their extensive analysis of more than 8,000 papers about the health-wrecking properties of too much sugar, they’ve gathered compelling evidence about just how harmful sugar can actually be. “ LIQUID SUGAR IS WREAKING HAVOC ON AMERICANS' DIETS “ Sugar in a liquid form via beverages like sodas, energy drinks, and sports drinks is the largest single source of added sugar in Americans’ diets, according to the USDA . “ SODA IS TERRIBLE and it’s “ Time to kick that cola habit to the curb: Chugging one can of soda per day can increase your risk of dying from heart disease by almost one-third, according to a study in JAMA Internal Medicine . Even worse, a study in Current Diabetes Reports showed that, compared to drinking sugary beverages like sod...

Infuse Your Water.

Image
Its almost summer and temperatures are already rising. It super important to stay hydrated while out in the heat and excessive sweating.  Two comments I hear a lot with all the water recommendations that I make are: Water is so boring, Can I make it taste better? and All I drink is water, I need to mix it up. The answer: Infuse your water.  What does that mean? You can add fruit, leaves or essential oils - individually or combined - to your water. I personally love using essential oils in my water: lemon, peppermint, orange or citrus. It add a big kick and has a lot of alkalizing benefits. Mint leaves leave a bold taste the longer they sit & look pretty if you have a big clear bottle (definitely a conversation starter and makes you look like you know something). Fruit with big tastes offer a great light taste - lemon, orange, grapefruit, cucumber And I'll be completely honest don't expect a POW of flavor on that first sip, it mostly leaves a ...
