Beautiful Inside and Out

Sep 26, 2011 by

Being healthy is something that I take very seriously.  After years of being at unhealthy weights from eating disorders, I finally found the help that I needed to understand that my weight did not matter overall.  My health was most important, and when I was too thin or too big I was not healthy.   Now I know what I put inside of my body makes a difference and how I treat my body will help to keep me looking good and feeling great for the rest of my life.  One thing that I started doing earlier this year was adding in supplements and vitamins for both my health and beauty routines.  I have noticed that my immune system has been stronger and so has my hair and nails.  I am even using skincare with added vitamins and I have to say that my face has never looked better.  If you want to start your own routine with vitamins, then make sure to talk to a health care professional first.  Otherwise look into some of these vitamins and products so you can take care of yourself inside and outside.

Vitamin K – I have fluctuated weight so much in my life that I had some pretty nasty stretch marks to prove it.  Vitamin K is my wonder vitamin because it has helped to fade my marks.  It even has lightened some of my acne scarring on my back.  Look for creams with vitamin K in them to get the benefits of this vitamin.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids – Okay the words fatty acids sound really gross, I know.  I have been taking krill supplements and I have seen a difference in my hair and my nails.  On top of those things that I can see, studies have shown that omega 3s can be beneficial for your heart and raising good cholesterol levels too.

Vitamin D – One of my favorite ways to get in some vitamin D is to go for a walk outside.  If that is not possible, I take a supplement.  Vitamin D has helped my immune system to get back on track and it even helps your body to absorb calcium which is perfect to help protect against osteoporosis.

Overall I am so excited about all of the benefits I have experienced thanks to vitamins and supplements.  Being beautiful isn’t just about looking good, it is about being healthy too.
