Berries

"Berries are filled with antioxidants that fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals that can lead to illness," says Nicolas. "I love blueberries, strawberries and goji berries, all of which are great for skin and hair health."

Coconut Oil

"The internal and external benefits from this superfood are plentiful! Coconut oil is an antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and a natural repellant to most things that will harm your immune system. In addition to its health benefits, coconut oil can also strengthen your hair, skin, and nails."

Salmon

"Wild Salmon. This is probably the world’s most heart-healthy source of protein. It is rich in long-chain Omega-3 essential fatty acids—the most beneficial kind—which protect heart health, inhibit inflammation, act as natural anti-depressants, increase feelings of well-being, and help keep skin young, supple and radiant."

Avocado

"Healthy fats are important in your diet, especially for your hair and skin! Why? They’re full of vitamin E and omega fatty acids."

Lemons

“Lemons detoxify the body by helping your digestive system and liver eliminate waste quickly,” she says. Continue drinking this throughout the day, and squeeze lemon on top of salads and in green juices."

Mushrooms

"Up your vitamin D intake to stimulate hair follicle

growth and prevent hair loss. For an easy way to incorporate it into your diet, look no further than portobello mushrooms. They are higher in vitamin D than button mushrooms, making them an ideal plant-based source."

Kale

"This anti-inflammatory veggie is chock-full of antioxidants, vitamins A and C, fibre, and calcium. What’s more, the beta-carotene delivers a youthful glow and neutralises free radicals—not to mention, per calorie, kale has more iron than beef."
