Three
out of four adult women don't meet their daily calcium needs?
Calcium helps keep bones and teeth strong and helps muscles
to contract and the heart to beat. A lack of calcium results
in the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis, which affects
millions of women.
|
| • |
A
4 oz serving of canned salmon with bones contains almost as
much calcium as a cup of milk (approx. 20% RDI). Salmon is
also rich in vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium
into
the
bones.

Supplement
with fish oils
Cold-water fish such as salmon are excellent sources of the
omega-3 oils necessary for beautiful-looking skin. The omega-3
type of fat contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties
that have been shown to be beneficial in also helping with
a lot of health problems.

Opt
for vitamin E–rich foods
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin
that has been shown to prevent cell damage from free radicals
and protect your skin against ultraviolet light. Sunflower
seeds, almonds, mustard greens, turnip greens, chard spinach
are excellent sources of vitamin E.

Sprinkle
your berries
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture
analyses, blueberries have 40 per cent more antioxidant capacity
than strawberries. Blueberries are high in vitamin C and can
help strengthen collagen formation, thereby reducing the signs
of aging.

Eat
vitamin C–rich foods
Vitamin C is involved in collagen
production and protects cells from free-radical damage. It's
important to replenish your vitamin C stores on a daily basis
by eating vitamin C–rich foods such as peppers, broccoli,
oranges, lemons, strawberries, papaya, cauliflower, kale, Brussels
sprouts and mustard greens.
