If youâre noticing dry hair, brittle nails, or troublesome skin, a quick look at your diet could identify the culprit. These are some of the top foods you can eat to help keep skin, hair, and nails looking their best.

The monounsaturated fatty acids found in olive oil (more so than any other oil) can help keep everything looking young and bright.
Dark chocolate
Rejoice! The cocoa flavanols found in dark chocolate can help hydrate and improve blood flow.
Green tea
Okay, technically you donât eat green tea, but the polyphenols and antioxidants in it can help smoothness and elasticity.
Blueberries
Crazy high in antioxidants, blueberries can be a total superfruit when it comes to helping your complexion.
Spinach
Power up your salad by swapping lame old lettuce out for some spinach, which is packed with vitams and omega-3 fatty acids and can help keep your nails and hair growing strong.
Walnuts
You donât have to eat a ton to reap the rewards of walnutsâ omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which can help with all your hair, nails, and skin problems.
