Beautiful black skin and hair is often the result of what you’re feeding yourself from within. You’ll want to make sure you’re eating your green foods. In the wintertime we have a tendency to go towards more “stick to the bone” type foods like heavy carbs.

I found that in talking to clients, a lot of them have a tendency to eat more breads and potatoes because those are “stick to the bone” type foods that give warmth to a lot of people.

But you certainly want to make sure that you’re including your green foods like broccoli, kale, spinach, collards, asparagus and brussel sprouts.

Whether you’re doing a juice fast or having a delicious plate of steamed vegetables, your eating habits will greatly determine the health of your skin and hair.

Nourishing your body from within is important because your cellular structure is fed from within the core and this will produce, not only healthy skin, but also healthy hair.

We are what we eat and when we look at the condition of our hair and skin, a lot of times it has to do with the condition of the type of nourishment that we’ve been feeding into our body.

Your water intake is still important even when it’s cold and this does not necessarily mean that hot teas, coffees and lattes will take the place of good clean water.

Water is part of that nutrient and nourishing that you take in that’s going to give your skin and hair that healthy glow.

So taking everything into account, feeding your body from within is going to give you great rewards as far as the beauty of your hair and skin.

And keeping your hair and skin clean, conditioned and moisturized in the winter, whether it’s a hot oil treatment or a tub of body butter, all of this is part of nurturing your hair and skin.

Your hair will have its healthy glow and keep the breakage down.  Also you can have this luxurious head of hair that’s going to emerge as the weather warms up in the spring.

Your skin will have its sultry sensual look and smooth to the touch feel when the warmer weather emerges from the winter frost.

So, what are you waiting for?  Add some vegetables to your plate of meat and potatoes and then slowly move more vegetables onto your plate and less meat ‘n potatoes.
