teeth whitening NYC

Making mindful dietary choices, will not only help you feel more energetic and maintain a healthy  weight, but you will notice that your skin, hair and nails will greatly improve in appearance, strength and texture. Many foods, however, are richer in the nutrients that will support their healthy growth over time. Coupling healthy food habits with a teeth whitening service at Aura Spa in NYC can help you look and feel your absolute most youthful.

Here we share  some of the best super food choices for the job at hand:

Kale 

With kale, like all greens, you will find an abundance of Vitamin C. A serving size of one cup is more than enough to account for your daily intake. It also contains Vitamin A, which is responsible for promoting the healthy growth of hair and skin cells. As a matter of fact, it is also one of the only leafy greens that contains copper, which is known to boost collagen levels in skin.

Salmon

Wild salmon is one of the top sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids keep skin moisturized and supple, warding off the effects of aging. It also contains Vitamin D to help keep your teeth and bones in their best shape, and selenium, a mineral that protects your skin from prolonged exposure to UV rays.

Acai

The acai berry is reddish-purple fruit that grows on the acai palm tree in South and Central America. Its pulp is rich in antioxidants and eating it helps you maintain a glowing complexion. It is also super rich in Vitamin C, and it has been known for fighting off free radicals that may cause cell damage or irritation. Acai has also been proven useful in the treatment of hyper-pigmentation.

Kefir

Kefir is a lactose free  fermented milk drink made from yeasts. It is prepared using sheep, goat or cow milk and it originated in the north Caucasus Mountains at the border of Europe and Asia. The beverage contains several dietary minerals, including, calcium, iron and phosphorus, and many vitamins, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and the entire Vitamin B complex. Kefir also contains several varieties of pro-biotic bacteria, which is used to treat digestive disorders.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a wild plant that is indigenous to South Asia, and used in the preparation of many Asian dishes. In India, the fresh juice of the turmeric plant is used to help heal and treat skin conditions, such as eczema. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties provide your skin with protection against irritants.

Goji Berries

These berries are native to Tibet and Mongolia’s stretch of the Himalayan Mountains. In China, they have been used for their healing properties for thousands of years. They are jam-packed with 21 trace minerals, more carotenoids than any other food and high levels of Vitamin C. They are also very high in fiber and have 15 times the amount of iron that is found in spinach.
