10 basic foods for the beauty of oily and dry skin

Beauty is not only in the skin. It comes from within with the food we eat. It is time to look more closely at our meals, at those that contribute to everything that makes us beautiful.

In their desperate quest for slimness, women today are playing with poor nutrition. They often overtrain and under-eat and vice versa.

And they also misjudge what they eat. Most women do not understand the chemistry of food and try to judge it with wrong notions.

To feel good, you have to feed yourself properly. If you insist on consuming less than 1,000 calories a day, you will end up with protein deficiencies, such as dry hair and skin.

If we don't eat enough calories, your body will convert its protein into energy, consuming the muscle tissues that give you shape and curves.

Here is a list of beauty-producing foods that you should start eating right away. They contain all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fibers needed to support your exercise program.

They will brighten your eyes, soften your skin, make your hair glow, and make your body more beautiful.

One hundred grams of liver provides most of our iron requirements. This mineral emphasizes the blood's ability to carry oxygen.

Lack of iron makes us tired and irritable. A severe deficiency can lead to anemia and cause thinning hair and brittle nails.

The liver also contains vitamins A, B, and C and other minerals essential for shiny, glossy skin.

If you buy the filleted breast, prepare it on the grill. If you buy the whole bird, I recommend that you bake it.

SKIMMED MILK.

It has the calcium that women need so badly. Women mature before men, which means their bones are less dense.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause increase a woman's calcium needs. Many women do not exercise and also lose some of their bone density.

Calcium is insurance against osteoporosis, which begins to weaken the structure of the skeleton in mid-life. It will also help you regulate your cholesterol.

If you don't want to be hunched over in your old age, start by drinking three glasses of skimmed milk every day.

Signs of a lack of vitamin A are:

Dry skin.
It also produces colorless signs on the back and arms.
Cabbages also have a lot of antioxidants in addition to arginine and folic acid.

TIPS

I recommend that for better assimilation of its components do not cook them, it is better to take them raw (for example in a salad).

You can take the leaves of cooked cabbages, although in this way they lose some of their nutritional value.

WHOLEMEAL BREAD.

Wholemeal bread contains protein, fiber, iron, minerals, and vitamin B. Low in fat and calories. It is an excellent dietary food.

Vitamin B helps correct deficiencies such as dry skin, bloodshot eyes, and scars at the corners of the mouth.

In addition to being delicious, whole grain bread has incredible satiating power.

TIPS

Don't overeat bread. It has carbohydrates that, if not controlled, will make you gain weight. Take a small amount every day, and you won't get fat.

LEGUMES.

We obtain it from the seeds of leguminous plants. They are all of the bean, pea, and lentil families.

They contain iron, vitamin B, fiber, and up to 25 grams of protein per 100 of the product.

Combined with the seeds, they provide a very balanced protein intake. A curiosity is that legumes are synonymous with vegetables in Colombia and Venezuela.

TIPS

If we want to avoid flatulence when preparing dry vegetables, it is advisable to change the cooking water.

Try this dish: green beans with cheese (a complete protein) and a slice of wholemeal bread.

TOFU.

Tofu is a Japanese food made from soybeans. It is very nutritious, high in protein, low in fat and calories, and contains a lot of calcium, iron, and vitamin B. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids.
