Nutrients for Health

Vitamin A
Naturally occurring Vitamin A, or Retinol, is found in fish oils, liver and dairy products. An interesting observation is that incase you’ve had a problem in reducing weight or have had enough trouble with your dark inner thighs, you could use Retino A 0.025 in a combination with a good moisturizer. This would of course be if you are really finicky about the way you look, including your inner thigh. Most swimmers or those who love to swim would like to experiment. However, I would be a good idea if you could experiment with this concoction, under medical supervision. The Vitamin A produced by plants is known as Beta-carotene, and is found in yellow/orange fruits and vegetable such as carrots, yams, apricots and cantaloupe, as well as green vegetables like parsley, kale and spinach. Extremely high doses of Vitamin A are toxic, so be careful not to overdo it.

Vitamin B-2
Stress has been known to aggravate existing cases of acne, and Vitamin B-2 is often helpful alleviating stress. Another good reason why Vitamin B in any form, can help resolve the problem is because it has natural fiber like ingredient that help you clear the toxins in your stomach at the earliest, since most of the ailments begin from there! High concentration of B-2 include whole grains, fish, milk, eggs, meat and leafy green vegetables.

Vitamin B-3.
Found in peanuts, eggs, avocados, liver and lean meats, Vitamin B-3 improves circulation, promoting healthy skin. It also reduces the cholesterol level in the blood and helps you metabolize protein, sugar & fat — increasing your energy through proper utilization of food.

Vitamin E.
Vitamin E is found in almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, broccoli, wheat germ and vegetable oils. A powerful antioxidant, it protects your cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body’s metabolism. A good way of getting wheat germ instantly into your system is with the help of wheat spouts. If you are one who is fond of sweet things or have a sweet tooth, you’d especially love these sprouts.

Zinc
Even in trace amounts, the antioxidant zinc is known to boost the immune system, improving overall health — which of course is reflected in the skin. Zinc can be found in eggs, whole grains, nuts and mushrooms.

Know your own triggers. Since acne and pimples may be different is different for everyone, there may be certain foods that cause flare-ups in your skin. Some people start getting pimples because of chocolates, although the research for this is on, you will need to observer what suits you most. Clearly, these foods should be avoided. You may also want to check your vitamin supplements for their iodine content. While normal amounts of iodine have not been shown to affect skin, amounts greater than the RDA of 150 mcg may aggravate your acne. This could also occur especially if you stay close to the Sea and are prone to the salinity in any form.

Moreover, use your common sense. Drink lots of water and eat a healthy, balanced diet — but don’t be afraid to indulge your cravings every now and then, after all you have just one life to live, right! Vitamins and supplements can come and go…. but good times are rare.
