Nutrition
Hair loss may be associated with iron, biotin, zinc or protein deficiency. As a result, hair may lose its shine, become dry and ugly, thin and brittle, depigmented and easy to pull out without pain. Consume low-fat dairy products, green vegetables, fruits (bananas, plums), legumes, lean meats, poultry and fish, and dried fruits.
Nutrition
Nails can reflect a lot on the functioning of the human body. Adequate nutrition is important to keep it strong and healthy, since a lack of intake of some nutrients can lead to several changes in its structure and appearance, making it brittle, weak and dry. Consume foods that are sources of vitamins C, D, iron, calcium (acerola, orange, beef, offal, beans, milk and its derivatives).

The skin is one of the largest organs in our body, and is made up of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. Together they constitute a protective barrier for our body, performing functions such as: protection from mechanical damage, microorganisms, radiation and maintaining constant body temperature, also playing an aesthetic role. To keep your skin healthy, consume foods such as fruits (orange, acerola), vegetables and legumes (carrots, spinach) to obtain vitamins A and C (orange, lemon, spinach, broccoli, carrots, pumpkin). Legumes (beans, soybeans), seafood, fish and drink lots of water.
Nutrition X Body (cellulite and stretch marks)
The famous cellulite is scientifically called gynoid lipodystrophy. Many professionals believe that its cause is related to the accumulation of residual substances in the tissues, caused by an unbalanced diet, rich in refined foods and poor in fruits and vegetables. Choose lean sources of protein, such as poultry, fish and lean red meat; consume fruits, vegetables and greens daily;
Lack of elasticity is the main factor that contributes to the formation of stretch marks. Improving nutrition is one of the main keys to successfully solving the problem. The lack of skin elasticity is caused by the absence of vitamins E, C, B5 and minerals such as Zinc, Copper and Selenium. Consume nuts, eggs, dairy products, whole grains, olive oil, avocado, soy, fish, flaxseed, lean meats, fruits (apple, acerola, orange), coconut water.
