How To Have A Clear Face With 13 Practical Tips

Do you know that the condition or health of your hair or your skin is a reflection of your overall health? A friend said to me that what we do or do not do to our health, how we live every day and what choices we make every day - can be reflected in the health of our hair and skin. What are your thoughts?

Personally, I agree with her. In fact, my dad and mum mentioned the same thing. How we take care of our bodies internally, especially, makes the big difference - although it is also important to take care of ourselves every day 'on the outside.'

For example, keeping our 'insides' clean (good digestive system, toxins flushed out and liver functioning well) and functioning at optimum health is a lot more important than just doing our daily 'external' cleaning routines. Here, diet and lifestyle play important roles.

I would like to share with you 13 practical tips of how to 'generally' take care of yourself internally and externally to have healthy and good skin. In fact, for those having problem skin like acne or acne prone skin, should make these tips a daily habit or routine.

1) Water Therapy

Maybe some of you have heard of water therapy? I do this every morning. They say it is good to drink 2-3 glasses of plain water first thing in the morning before breakfast. I do think this works because when I do this, I go to the toilet about 30 minutes later to 'get toxins flushed out' of my body. An hour later, I eat breakfast. I drink water throughout the day too.

5 Tips for Healthy Hair

Try the following tips for healthy hair worthy of a hair care commercial.

Eat Healthy 

It's always good to consume a well-balanced diet, but what foods help ensure healthy hair? Choose foods that are high in protein, zinc, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Proteins assist in repairing brittle hair, promote growth, and maintain color. Individuals lacking in zinc intake may experience shedding. Biotin deficiencies can result in brittle hair. Omega-3 fatty acids help to condition hair and support a healthy scalp. 

• Have some kidney beans with dinner. Kidney beans contain protein, zinc, and biotin. 
• Snack on some walnuts. Walnuts include omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. 
• Go for the poultry! Eat chicken and turkey that are high in quality proteins and iron. 
• Start your day off with some whole grains. Opt for some whole wheat bread or whole grain cereals for breakfast. Whole grains contain zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
