GIRL'S TIP: Shiny Hair & Strong Nails - As Simple As Eating!


The secret to having shiny hair and strong nails is not buying the most expensive beauty products, but nourishing your body from the inside out. A lack of certain vitamins and minerals can lead to hair damage and even hair loss. So to help you get strong and healthy hair, make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D (sunlight, oily fish such as tuna, salmon, sardines, eggs), B vitamins (wholegrain cereals, legumes, seeds and nuts) and zinc (red meat, chicken and seafood). To help you get shiny and non-greasy hair, make sure you include of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in your diet. So drink your milk and eat your yoghurt, cheese and breakfast cereals and start turning heads at your work place.
Finally, to strengthen up those nails make sure you are getting plenty of iron which is found in red meat, wholegrain breads and cereals, and legumes. Iron deficiency can cause fingernails to become brittle and spoon-shaped which is not what most females want. Overall, following a varied well-balanced diet and drinking plenty of fluids, is the best way to maintain healthy hair and nails. So make-over your body from the inside out.
