No one wants to seem cynical, but many will still agree with the fact that the mother is, of course, the baby’s most beloved person, but at the same time, she is the source of all the nutrients that are passed on to the baby through breast milk.
Of course, in order for there to be enough of these same substances for two people at once, one should carefully monitor that they regularly enter the mother’s body along with food.
Let's figure out which substances are important for the beauty and health of skin, hair and nails.
Omega-3 fatty acids
This “component” provides hydration and restores collagen fibers, which determine the elasticity of the skin.
Zinc
Zinc influences collagen production.
Iron
This element is responsible for the transport of oxygen, including to skin cells, hair follicles and the matrix (the place where nails grow).
Calcium
Calcium strengthens nails and hair structure.
Vitamins
Vitamin A prevents flaking and irritation of the skin, providing its antioxidant protection, while vitamin E is important for normal blood circulation and tissue nutrition, as well as for the skin's water balance. Vitamin D is necessary for the proper functioning of hair follicles. It also promotes hair and nail growth, and its deficiency can cause flaking similar to dandruff. Finally, B vitamins prevent dry hair and brittle nails, and help control hair loss. Another important quality is that B vitamins affect stress resistance.
