EAT AND GROW BEAUTIFUL

               Everyone loves to have a glowing skin, silky long hair, beautiful white nails, strong teeth and bones. Its simple to get these by including some essential body building elements into our everyday diet plan. Our essential body building elements includes Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, Calcium and Fats.

1. SKIN:
              Our skin needs sufficient VITAMIN B2 and VITAMIN C to make it soft and brighter. Vitamin B2 is present in fresh vegetables, fruits, milk and whole wheat bread. Vitamin C is present in oranges. Like "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away",
                         "An Orange a day makes your skin glow".


 2. TEETH & BONES:
               They need plenty of CALCIUM and VITAMIN D. So have a minimum of two glasses of milk daily. Fish too contains calcium and vitamin D. This helps to build healthy and strong bones and teeth. Avoid unnecessary intake of starch and sugar. This may result in early tooth decay.



3. HAIR:
              Our hair is made up of a Protein-based substance called Keratin. Hence to have a strong and silky hair you need have a PROTEIN balanced diet. VITAMIN B is also essential for hair growth. Hence include fish, cheese and eggs in your diet.



4. NAILS: 
               To avoid chipping, cracking and discoloration of our nails, diet rich in PROTEIN, MINERALS AND IODINE are essential. Fish, eggs, cheese, fresh vegetables and fruits. Cereals, bread and meat are food rich in iodine.


5. EYES:
            To improve the power of eyesight all we need is food rich in VITAMIN A. The very best of all is carrots. Including cabbage, spinach and other leafy food varieties with fresh fruits and vegetables will help to maintain a healthier eye.



From the above, it is very clear that our food plan must contain the following 5:
                                - Fruits
                                - Vegetables
                                - Milk
                                - Egg
                                - Fish

EASY PEDICURE AT HOME


                       PEDICURE  is a way of keeping your feet and nails "bright" and "beautiful". You could now do this for yourself at home. By following very few steps you could remove all the dead cells and dirt accumulated in your feet, using very few things at your home. Following this procedure, once in 2 weeks will make your feet glow and of course, attract others attention.


  • First remove the nail polish in your toe nails using a "nail polish remover".
  • Then shape your nails using a "nail cutter/ clipper" and  remove all the dirt in your nails using the nail polish remover.
  • Take a "bucket or a small tub" that you could find in your home and fill it with "Mild Hot Water" to 1/3rd or 2/3rd capacity, such that your feet will be fully submerged when you keep you legs inside.
  • Now take, 
                 1/2 cup Salt
                      3 tspn lemon juice

                       1 tspn of any pain reliever solution
                       2 tspn of shapoo or any soap gel




  •  Mix them well with water. Allow them to dissolve completely.
  •  Now place your feet into the water and keep them inside for 20-25 minutes. Just rub your feet together at regular intervals inside the water. 
  • After 20-25 minutes, remove your feet from the water.Take a "feet brush" and rub it against your entire feet smoothly.




  • Then wipe your feet thoroughly with a "towel" and make them completely dry.
  • Take a "Callus Remover" and rub your heal gently. You would see that the dead cells start to fall down. Remove all the dead cells in the heal till you find it free of cracks. ( Callus remover should only be used when your skin is completely dry).



  • Now take a "file" and rub it against your heal to make it smoother. Rub it in the bottom of your toes too, to remove any dead cells present.
  • Apply "Almond oil" followed by "Olive oil" on the feet and massage them gently for 5 minutes.
  • Now apply a "base coat" to strengthen your nails.Paint your nails with "color polish", or if your are interested, you could do even nail art, after the base coat has dried completely.
  •  Then apply the "top coat" over the nail polish, and let them dry.
