Read on to find out what beauty foods you need to add to your diet today.

Eggs:

Egg yolks contain biotin, which is a rich source of Vitamin B. When biotin levels are low, it may result in frail nails, while healthy levels of biotin can actually reverse this condition.

Leafy Green Veggies:

Green Veggies like Spinach, Cabbage, Beet Greens, Watercress and Lettuce etc. provide Vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that repairs skin from any damage done by UV rays and environmental exposure. Vitamin C also helps to boost collagen production, promoting skin firmness and elasticity. Spinach and Kale are sources of phytonutrients, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Carrots:

Carrots have remarkable anti-aging properties and they promote healthy hair and nail growth to a great extent.

Skimmed Milk:

Skimmed milk is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, a combination that helps strengthen nails and promote hair growth. Milk is also a great source of protein which is beneficial since that’s what our hair and nails are made of.

Fish:

Fish is an excellent source of protein, essential omega-3 fatty acids, iron and vitamin B12 and promotes great hair and beautiful skin. Omega-3 fatty acids prevent sun damage and support scalp health while protein helps ward off hair loss. Iron and vitamin B12 can make the hair color more vibrant.
