Often I get asked what beauty products to use
to look more beautiful, younger, and healthier. I always respond with “it is
what you eat”. Let’s focus on your ABC vitamins and take you through some of
its benefits and sources.
Vitamin A helps boost your immunity system,
your vision, bone growth, tooth development, and maintain healthy hair and skin.
Found in (tomatoes, watermelon, passionfruit, mango, papaya, broccoli, sprouts,
leeks, peas, pumpkin, spinach, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, cow’s milk, tuna).
Vitamin B1 helps your body cells convert
carbohydrates into energy. It is crucial for the functioning of the heart,
muscles and nervous system. Found in (avocado, dates, grapes, guava, orange,
pineapple, asparagus, sweet potato, potato, okra, beef, salmon, tuna, soy

Vitamin B2 helps the growth of your body,
reproduction and red cells production. Found in (bananas, lychee, pomegranate,
pears, almonds, buckwheat, chestnuts, oats, wheat, eggs, caviar, chicken, fava

Vitamin C is one of the most important of all
vitamins, It plays a significant role as an antioxidant, protecting body tissue
from the damage of oxidation.
Antioxidants act to protect your cells against
the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the
body’s metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell damage that may contribute to
the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Vitamin C has also been
found by scientists to be an effective antiviral agent. Found in (grapefruit,
kiwi, orange, papaya, strawberries, broccoli, sprouts, green pepper, chestnuts,
