Eating for Health Hair and Skin

When it comes to healthy, shiny hair and glowing skin, what you eat and drink has more influence than you might expect. Crazy diets, too little protein and iron, a decrease in calories and weight loss, in general, can lead to hair loss. Furthermore, women who have too little fat in their diet often have dry skin and hair.

"Eat a diet that includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats along with a multivitamin," advises Randi Cardonick, MS, registered dietitian with Penn Health for Women. Another secret? Drink six to eight glasses of water every day to keep your skin healthy.
