Eat Avocado for Great Nails

In addition to being crazy-rich in heart, nerve and brain-friendly fats, avocados are an excellent source of biotin, one of the B vitamins which is really important for both attaining and maintaining healthy nails.

Studies indicate that this was first discovered when biotin was given to horses to repair brittle and cracked hooves and showed excellent results (supplemental biotin was used in this case as I don’t think horses are too keen on avocados!)

Aim to have half an avocado per day and fill it with crab meat, tuna or cottage cheese, add it to salads, mash it on rye crisp breads, add it to smoothies, make guacamole - the options are endless!

OR… and I have tried this… get yourself a bottle of extra virgin avocado oil and as well as cooking with it and using it for salad dressings, soak your nails (toenails as well if you have time) in a bowl of the oil, lightly warmed through, for 5-10 minutes once a week. Result? Super soft and healthy cuticles and great-looking, strong nails!

Love your skin and lose a few pounds!

A super slim body and great skin, hair and nails are what we all want before we take off on holiday - particularly if we are heading to the beach! And what about when we get back home? A few too many hours in the sun and perhaps rather too much holiday overindulgence can result in our skin looking a bit 'over-cooked' and our waistlines looking a bit 'over-generous'!

Holidays are about having fun and feeling great, not about having to carefully watch everything you eat and drink but many of us are guilty of leaving things a little late to get the body beautiful looking at its best before we go so a few days (or more) on my Super Skin Diet can make a real difference and as this diet is really easy to follow, you can leap back into it the minute you have unpacked the suitcase on your return!

Time may be tight but it's never too late to give yourself a real boost and look and feel great!
