Adequate nutrition, better beauty!
1. Nutrition is closely related to human health and appearance. There's no doubt that adjusting the dietary structure will lead to better results in beauty and skin care. Therefore, mastering nutritional knowledge can help beauticians win more customer recognition and trust.
2. For weight loss nutritional adjustment, it is generally believed that if the calories of the three major nutrients - protein, fat, carbohydrate exceed the consumed calories, then the excess protein and fat will be stored in the body. Carbohydrates can also be converted into fat and protein through gluconeogenesis and stored in the body, mostly as fat. Therefore, excessive intake of fat has a greater impact on weight. Simple obesity is caused by excessive calorie intake but less consumption. Thus, obese people should pay attention to a reasonable diet. A low-calorie dietary structure should be adopted to consume body fat by reducing calorie intake. The supply of fatty substances and carbohydrates should be restricted to lower the calorie supply; the intake of high-quality protein, various vitamins, minerals and trace elements should be increased to ensure the balance of nutrients in the body; the supply of fruits and vegetables should be increased. Fresh fruits and vegetables with less sugar, more vitamins and minerals should be chosen; coffee and strong tea should be avoided to prevent stimulating gastric acid and increasing appetite; regular meals are recommended.
3. Nutritional adjustment for skin and hair problems
Customers with dry skin should take more foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, flaxseed oil, etc.
For oily or acne-prone skin, too much saturated fatty acids and fatty toxins can clog pores. When the skin's antibacterial ability decreases or cleaning is not thorough, the blocked parts are prone to infection, swelling, pain, and inflammation, leading to acne. It is suggested to reduce high-fat and high-sugar foods, drink more water, especially freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, and reduce the use of antibiotics.
Prevention of skin aging, in addition to improving bad habits, maintaining an optimistic and cheerful good mood, early treatment of various chronic diseases, reasonable use of cosmetics, and persistent facial massage, dietary therapy can play a good role in anti-wrinkle and wrinkle-removal. Because some foods are rich in certain special components, these components can delay the aging process of the skin, strengthen the function of elastic fibers, and increase skin elasticity, thus helping to reduce wrinkles. Chondroitin sulfate is the most important component of elastic fibers. Foods rich in chondroitin sulfate include chicken skin, shark fins, salmon heads, shark cartilage, etc. In addition, nucleic acid helps prevent premature skin aging.

For sensitive skin, there are many methods to improve and treat skin allergies, with different effects and some misunderstandings. For example, staying away from allergens is difficult to achieve in actual situations. Taking antiallergic drugs or hormones has significant side effects and unstable effects. Starting from preventing free radicals and enhancing immunity, a comprehensive improvement plan can be formulated. Under the guidance of experienced beauticians, external care can control and relieve symptoms, while improving the dietary structure and living habits.
Hair loss: There are many factors that cause hair loss, among which nutritional element-induced hair loss includes slow hair growth due to insufficient nutrient intake in food. If the protein content in food decreases, even if the total amount of food is normal, hair growth can be limited. Low-fat or no-fat diets may also cause hair loss, while excessive fat intake can make sebaceous glands excessively enlarge and become hyperfunctional, affecting hair growth. Lack of vitamin A can cause hair shedding. Lack of vitamin B complex or pantothenic acid can cause dry and colorless hair. Zinc and iron deficiency can cause hair shedding. Copper deficiency reduces hair pigmentation. Therefore, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet structure, such as eating more fresh fruits, vegetables, and cereals like oatmeal, whole wheat, and animal liver rich in vitamin B.
