TRACE ELEMENTS AND SKIN HEALTH

                            Trace Elements and Skin Health

 

 Trace elements are the tiny units which keep our health at large healthy and robust. Some of the trace elements important for skin and hair health are -
Zinc
Copper
Selenium
Folic Acid
We normally consume them in our daily life in our meals, but as we age and our metabolism weakens, the absorption may reduce. Weak immunity is also responsible for having dull and lifeless skin and brittle hair or limp hair. 
These trace elements are small power doses of health for skin and hair cells. They are anti-inflammatory , improve the nature and texture of the skin , improve the peptide bonds and also the collagen tissue. They are a very important anti-aging tool ,they help in reducing wrinkles and age spots. The foods that give us these powerful beauty enhancers are given below-

Foods rich in Zinc
 Foods rich in Selenium
 Foods rich in Copper
Foods rich in Folic Acid
   We do find the presence of these elements in the beauty jars for external application. The best way to improve the skin and hair quality is by consuming them. A regular diet of nuts, lentils, seeds,greens and seasonal fruits can ensure the baseline abundance of these elements in us.
