When it comes to eating for beauty the very first thing to
understand is that consuming food serves many more functions than simply
providing energy for you to just get through the day. In this instance the often-used saying ‘you
are what you eat’ could not be more true.
Applied Nutrition Therapists and Naturopaths know from long
experience. Hair, skin and nails are
usually the first things to suffer if you have a nutritional deficiency or
imbalance.
It is not difficult to see why this would be the
case.Our bodies will invariable need to
prioritize nutrition for brain function and the supporting major organs i.e.
heart, lungs, kidney, liver etc.Nutrients
that contribute to lush hair, strong nails and clear skin will be readily
scavenged if our bodies have a deficiency or imbalance.This is why beauty needs to be seen as a
whole person exercise.If you are
overfed and undernourished, which most people in this country are, just
applying a lotions to hair or creams to the skin etc is likely to have a
limited effect.But combining your
existing beauty regime with an improved eating pattern and appropriate
supplementation you are bound to get better results. Based on more than twenty
years clinical experience we know this approach to beauty also provides a
useful bonus. i.e. when you feed skin, hair and nails from the inside there are
anti-ageing benefits and there is invariably profound enhancement of vitality
as well as beauty.
