Nutrition for Healing and Vitality

1. Eat to Heal:

2. Hydration:
   • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated.
   • Include hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges.
   • Water cannot get into the cell without sea salt, so make sure to have a pinch when needed, even a few times a day.

Skin Health and Nutrition

1. Nourish Your Skin as an Organ:
   • Vitamin C-Rich Foods: Citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli to boost collagen production and maintain skin elasticity.
