You are probably wondering how to maintain a good skin and prevent stretch marks. Firstly drink plenty of fluids as a well-hydrated skin stretches better. A balanced diet contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, mineral salts and fiber. You may consider that you already eat a balanced diet but does your diet contain enough of the essential vitamins and minerals required by your skin? Vitamin E and C are both very important. I have found a supplement that I have something in common with. I am talking about silica. Silica is found in hair, skin and nails and taking a silica supplement is another way to prevent stretch marks because it keeps the skin moisturized healthy and strong. Why this interested me is because one of the vegetables I enjoy growing and eating the most is beetroot and it contains a lot of silica.
