Tip of the day: Eat yourself beautiful

Filed under: Skin Care, Style Tip of the Day

Okay that sounded weird. What we mean is, sometimes the things you eat are reflected in your outward appearance.

Example 1. If you eat greasy pizza religiously, you face probably looks, well, like a pepperoni.

Example 2. If you eat fresh fruit like it's your job, your face probably looks juicy and fresh.

Got it? Good. Now, let's check in with Dr. Steph to see what foods will make your hair, nails, teeth, and teeth shine.

Hair

Oily: Fruits, veggies, fish, poultry, lean meats, whole grain cereals, vitamin B complex, vitamin A

Dry: Up to 2 tablespoons of unprocessed veggie, seed, or nut oil daily, cod-liver oil, vitamin e, vitamin A

Dandruff: Liver, cod-liver oil, unsaturated veggie oil, wheat germ, fruits and veggies, protein, brewer's yeast, bone meal

Faded: Liver, wheat germ, blackstrap molasses, sunflower seeds, whole grain cereals, rice polish, seafood, yogurt, veggies and nut oils, brewer's yeast, kelp, vitamin B

Eyes


• Leafy green and yellow veggies, wheat germ, rice polish, molasses, sunflower seeds, Vitamins A, b-complex, C, D, E, brewer's yeast, bone meal or calcium lactate

Nails

Overall improvement:

For best results, keep going for a week's. Changes won't happen over night!
