Water
Anti-aging benefits:
Okay, okay water may not be a vitamin per se. And while we've all heard a thousand times that it's important to drink water (and plenty of it), Bauer reminds us that it's critical for our skin's health and beauty. The more water you drink the better your organs function, including your largest organ -- your skin. Water keeps your cells well hydrated, which can give your skin a plumper, fuller, firmer and an overall more youthful appearance.
Where it's found:
Besides your tap, you can also eat some of your water by consuming produce like:
Watermelon
Pineapples
Blackberries
Cauliflower
Cherry tomatoes
(Incidentally, you'll get more bang for your bite with some of these fruits and veggies since they also contain Beta-carotene and Vitamin C.)
How much you need:
There are varying debates about how much water we really need, but Bauer says, "Let your thirst be your guide." She says to always opt for water over sugary iced teas and sodas since there is a correlation between sugar intake and breakouts.

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.
