because the secret to having a glowing skin and
healthy hair starts from within.
Here are 6 nutrients that will give you a healthy hair

breakage, you should eat foods like salmon,
avocado, eggs and peanuts which are rich sources

important for the production of collagen.
Strawberries, citrus fruits and pawpaw are rich
sources of vitamin C.

aging. It helps fight fine lines and wrinkles leaving
you with a younger skin. Sources of vitamin A
include carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.
