So, you wouldn't expect calcium to come from a fish would you? Or strength from a bean? Oh, but they do! Read on and marvel at the glow worthy trinkets hidden in your every day foods...

*SARDINES: Are loaded with B vitamins, protein and calcium... yes, calcium! By eating the soft bones, you get an added boost for YOUR bones. Having a non-dairy based source of calcium is great -- especially if you experience occasional irregularity.

*DARK, LEAFY GREENS: Another great source of calcium. These include Romaine Lettuce, Spinach, Collard greens and the like.

*CANTALOUPE: Excellent for hydrating the skin! This will really set your glow on. Eating this and increasing your water intake (6-8 glasses a day) will provide you with visible improvements. Your skin will definitely look and feel more hydrated.

*WATER: As mention in the previous section, the benefits are obvious: CLEANSE, RENEW, HYDRATE.

*LENTILS: (Or those diskette-like green "split peas") Are great for your hair! Lentils really are a star food; they're packed with fiber and are also heart-healthy. Let's not forget that they're loaded with proteins which strengthen the hair.

*APPLES: Fibrous and excellent toothbrushes! Really-- they're nature's toothbrushes. Not only do they provide insoluble fiber which makes going number 2 a bit easier, but they naturally clean the teeth as you eat. Chomp on!
