We all know that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle so that we can feel strong,energized,and healthy throughout our lives. Did you know that not only does exercise and eating right keep you healthy and strong, but it keeps you looking young and Beautiful? Being a cosmetologist I am very intrigued by the whole Beauty industry. Here are some Beautiful reasons why you should get active and watch what you consume.

Skin Benefits:Indeed, from reducing acne breakouts to fighting the signs of aging, health experts say regular exercise can play a big role in how young and how healthy your skin looks and feels. It helps increase circulation and delivery of nutrients to skin cells, whooshing away potentially damaging toxins. Another is giving skin the optimum conditions for making collagen, the support fibers that help keep wrinkles and lines under control. But perhaps the most dramatic effects of exercise are on acne-prone skin. Doctors say working out provides many benefits that can help clear the skin. How? Exercise mediates the production of testosterone-related hormones such as DHEA and DHT.Regular exercise also increases sweating, which in turn can unclog pores and have a positive effect on breakouts

Beautiful Hair: healthy diet can help your hair stay strong and lustrous. Your diet can also prevent hair loss. In fact, very specific nutritional deficiencies can affect your hair.Essential fatty acids -- especially omega-3 fatty acids -- play a key role in skin, hair, and nails. You should eat some of these foods every day.
- omega-3:Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and other fatty fish.Also Flax seed oil, Walnuts, and almonds.
- Vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid are also important to your hair. Vegetarians and vegans often don't get enough of these vitamins.
Good sources of vitamin B-6 include bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet), and spinach.
-Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables -- especially citrus fruits and tomatoes -- will help you get folic acid. Whole grain and fortified grain products, beans, and lentils also contain folic acid. Major sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products.
-Protein is also critical for keeping hair healthy, but many people don't get enough. Lean meat like fish, chicken, eggs, and soy products are good sources of protein; eat one serving every day.
Working out helps lower our stress level which believe it or not less stress= less gray hair. Also exercise lowers the level of hormones in the body which promotes hair growth and helps prevent thinning hair.
Having Beautiful Hair and skin helps us to feel attractive and feminine. Which will give us an overall glow of confidence. Plus it shows our inner beauty because we are happy and kinder.Next time you are working out and need a bit more motivation... think about all of the benefits you are receiving. Workout,Eat Right,BE BEAUTIFUL!!
