We eat food for a lot of reasons. To commune with one another. For pleasure. And because it helps give us the nutrients that offer us energy and build our bodies. And that means that if you eat healthily, you’ll also look the part, with your body rewarding you for your good nutritional choices. To that end, here are some recipes that are full of the vitamins and antioxidants that make your hair, skin, and nails look their absolute best.
