Skin Care and Nutrition

Skin Care and Nutrition



Hippocrates is,"The Father of Modern Medicine. Ancient Greece believed that beauty, exercise and diet worked in concert. I am not a doctor but this is my personal opinion. My personal opinion, that with daily skin maintenance combined with healthy nutrition are imperative. Hair and nails comprised mainly of protein. The body does not store protein. Foods rich in protein, beef, chicken, fish, pork, eggs, dairy products, nuts and seeds. Vegetables and fruits high in vitamins and minerals and are low fat and low carbohydrate foods. The body stores fats and carbohydrates. Excessive fats and carbohydrates accumulation in the body can result in stored body fats. Skin tags and skin moles are benign tumors. Skin Warts are a virus. Skin Tags, Skin Mole and Skin Warts require special skin care attention in addition to general skin care and daily nutrition.
