Medical Professionals and mothers all over the country have been telling us for centuries that “we are what we eat”. What is meant by this is that everything goes into our stomachs will have a knock on effect, however small, on our appearance, health and even personality. Because of this, we are forever being ordered to eat certain things, drink certain things and avoid lots of things. It is not always easy to know which advice to follow though and which is the most import, so lets examine some of the most important foods to control.

Salt. This is something that we didn’t even know was bad for us until scientist decide to tell us recently. 6g of the stuff is what the UK Food Standard Agency states we should not be exceeding per day if possible. More salt might be needed by people who lose a lot through sweating or by diluted body salt levels by drinking lots of water. For 90% of people however, a reduction in salt levels is advisable as it has been closely linked with heart, blood and liver problems. Rather than put it in your body, salt is good at conditioning skin and is in fact an ingredient in numerous skin care products

Fats. There are types of fat that are vital to the functioning of our body, including maintain organs, skin and vision. If the fats that we needed were the saturated type (trans fats) then there would not be so much of a problem as lots of people eat vast amounts of these, but unfortunately its not, it’s is the unsaturated fats that we need. Organ failure, diabetes and joint issues are among the many conditions that result from elevated saturated fat intake, not to mentioned the risk of obesity. It won’t matter how many times you get your manicure, your appearance and health will not be great if you don’t watch your fats

Water. This is not something you eat of course, but you should not underestimate the power of the H20. Ideal water intake levels are dependent on factors such as temperature, body size, age, humidity etc, although most experts recommend taking in 1-2 lts per day if possible. Water is used in every element of the bodies functioning but also has a large impact in appearance, so if you drink enough of the stuff you won’t need your cleansing facial wash quite so often
