Eat Your Way to Better Skin, Energy and Health

Here are a few tips for the winter months:

Dry Rough Skin- Start adding swiss chard into your diet, eggs with yolks both contain biotin which promotes production of fatty acids; a must for smooth skin.  Hugos is one my favorite brunch spots in Los Angeles and you can find both these ingredients in any of their delicious entrees.

Cold Weather Acne and Flaky Skin- Have at least 3.5 ounces of cold water fish weekly. Some great sources are salmon, anchovies, and halibut which all contain EPA a soothing omega3 fatty acid.  Stop by any Fish Grill in LA for their simply prepared grilled fishes.

Energy- Dark, cold holiday shopping can snapped all our energy.  So try spot treating with some gum. It enhances blood flow to your brain, perking it up almost like caffeine without the crash. For maximum effect try using minty flavors.  For a longer sustained effect eat a balanced breakfast with around 500 calories combining lean protein and high fiber carbohydrates. These gum flavors will definitely keep you happy and occupied;  Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite:

Low immunity- Eat 75 milligrams of Vitamin C a day.  Check out your local  Whole Foods for fresh  papaya, red bell peppers, oranges, brussel  sprouts all stimulate the growth and activity of infection fighting white blood cells.
