I can't underestimate the importance of water in your diet; many dermatologists say that you should be drinking the number of ounces equal to half of your body weight. Shocked? I was. But I've greatly increased my water intake. My skin looks far better and I'm losing weight without trying!

These are great tips. I already drink plenty of green tea and eat almonds, fruits and veggies and I can see a difference in my complexion when I don't consume these as often as I should.

I take a lot of these, but don't necessarily feel that I look younger for it. I do it for the health benefits though!

Good tips. I take tons of vitamins, as the US RDA recommendations are insufficient. Especially for women.

Thanks for these tips!

I agree with the advice for the vitamin C. Good article.

by MissPurple Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at 02:37PM Report as inappropriate

Great info! When I eat more E and C, my skin really shows a difference after a couple of weeks. (Much brighter and more "awake" looking.)

Great info

I like to add supplements to my diet to make sure I am getting everything that I need.

I didn't know about some of these... good to know!

Very helpful.. it's hard to keep track of everything that is necessary in order to eat healthy.

great

Total Beauty inspired me to eat healthy. I've been trying to do so for about a month and I love it! I feel much better, especially mentally since I know I'm doing something good for myself. After some time, choosing healthy food becomes natural and I actually find fast foods repulsive! I still can't give up chocolate though. But well, nobody's perfect :)

Getting started in Nutrition can be daunting .. so much, too much, where to start. Maybe beginning with Beauty will open the story of good nutrition, good fuel, making you feel good and look good. This is a nice little primer ... easy, quick, finishing with a tasty smoothy.

Great.

I love that the names of the foods are listed so your not popping 17 pills every day. I was happy to see that I eat at least ONE item in each category almost regularly.

by msbrown822 Monday, March 7, 2011 at 01:42PM Report as inappropriate

Awesome. I love most of the foods that these vitamins are found in.

I swear by my hair, skin and nails vitamins...they help so much

Vitamin D and Omega 3 work wonders on your hair, skin, and body.

fish oil is great for hair and skin!

I like to have Toast with Olive Oil in the morning to get my daily dose of Vitamin E...I also use Argan Oil, I picked up at Whole Foods, topically that has more vitamin E than Olive oil on my skin, and it absorbs better!

by bella12345 Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:31PM Report as inappropriate

Totally true tips! I also eat a 1/2 cup of blue berries with whole oats every day. Switching from white bread, and white pasta to whole wheat, is easy and sooo good for you- and tasty too! Great w/mac and cheese (use low fat cheese) and spaghetti w/ marinara.

I Loved this article it has a lot of great information on the different foods that you need to eat. That have a lot of vitamins in them to help you look younger.

by Donnam053 Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 12:08PM Report as inappropriate

The title is bogus. Water, omega 3 fatty acids, selenium, and polyphenols are not vitamins. These may be important nutrients, but vitamins they are not.
