To get healthy and beautiful skin, nail and hair, you need to make sure that you eat a lot of proteins. You need at least 30 gms of proteins everyday for your skin. Dr Jaishree Sharad, in her book Skin Talks, lists five vegetarian foods to fulfill your skin's protein requirements.
Eggs: It is a very rich source of proteins. Having two eggs a day should be sufficient for keeping your skin glowing.
Tofu: It contains high amounts of proteins, low carbs and no cholesterol. 100 g of tofu contains 52 g of protein. It is one super food that you must include in your meals every day to get enough protein.
Sprouts- Sprouts are the powerhouse of the nutrients. It has loads of B Complex Vitamin, Vitamin C and fibre. Opt for moong, kalachanna, moth, barley and Alfa for sprouting. Steam them a little, add to the salads or eat it as breakfast.
Roasted seeds: Love to snack between your meals? Have a handful of roasted seeds (sunflower seeds, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds) every day. It is great way to get your dose of proteins.
Soy: Soya milk or soy flour can be used in everyday cooking or as an alternative to other health drinks. You can replace your protein shakes with a glass of soya milk and use soy flour instead of wheat flour to make rotis. Approximately 2 soy rotis along with some cooked sprouts should do the deed.
