How to eat for beautiful skin, hair & nails

I think skin health and beauty really reflect general health and the root of good skin health and appearance
first is proper nutrition.

So I think that particularly getting the proper amounts and kinds of fats in the diet is very key. There are what
we call essential fats.

Now these are the good fats that we absolutely have to have every day and they are the fats that you can
get from nuts, seeds, avocados and also from oily fish, the omega-3 fatty acids.

So that’s the first thing is to make sure that you are getting plenty of these in the diet.

I recommend that everybody take 2 to 3 grams of supplemental fish oil a day. I think this is for general
health, for healthy aging but certainly very good for skin health.

There is a particular fat called GLA which is hard to get in the diet, that you can get in natural products like
evening primrose oil and black current oil and these can be taken as supplements, easy to find in natural
food stores.

And for women especially this can greatly improve the texture and appearance of hair, nails and skin.
