Natural sources: lean meat, dried beans (beans), eggs, onions and cabbage.

Sulfur
Let our body can use tyrosine, an amino acid that affects the pigmentation of hair and skin, and its deficiency can lead to inappropriate formation of elastin (a component of connective tissue of the skin). It is also essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin, iron transport, and for the use of vitamin C.
However, an excess appears to lower the levels of zinc and may cause, among other things, hair loss and depigmentation of this and of the skin. Its abuse appears to favor oxidation phenomena, and therefore the premature aging of the skin.
To meet the needs of copper consuming enough whole grains and their derivatives, as well as green vegetables.
Natural sources: dried beans, whole wheat, prunes, beef liver and seafood.

Iron
Returns good color, its deficit causes pallor and fall of stalk. However, the body needs copper, cobalt, manganese and vitamin C to absorb iron. Adults need 8-10 milligrams daily, and pregnant women from 18 to 25. Within a month, menstrual age women lose twice as much iron as men, but a supplementation of this mineral, for a long period, should be checked by a specialist.
Natural sources: liver, pork, veal kidneys, corn meal, dried peaches, red meat, egg yolk, nuts, beans, asparagus and oatmeal.

Selenium
It has an antioxidant action, along with Vitamin E. both protect cell membranes against damage by oxidation (by neutralizing free radicals) and therefore prevent, or at least retard, the aging process and induration of the tissues.
It will be very useful if you want to maintain the elasticity of tissues for the treatment and prevention of dandruff and if exposed to contaminants, because it protects from the toxic effects of heavy metals like cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic. Apparently, men need more selenium than women. No daily allowances have been established, but a dose of between 50 and 200 micrograms Paree enough.
Typically available in supplements, in combination with vitamin E and other antioxidants.
Natural sources: wheat germ and bran, onions, tomatoes and broccoli.

Iodine

Eliminate processed foods with too much salt in your diet yodad. The RDA is 150 micrograms two adults and from 175 to 200 micrograms for pregnant or nursing. Iodine-containing algae and Kemp can be found in the composition of multimineral supplements is sufficient.
Natural sources: vegetables grown in iodine rich soils, onions, all seafood.

Zinc
The importance of this mineral for beauty is evident as most of the zinc in our body is located in the skin, hair and nails. It is essential for the synthesis of proteins, particularly those of collagen. Just the most abundant collagen protein in the body and elastin are the components present in greater proportion in the tissue of the dermis, and ensure the tone and skin elasticity. Its deficit limits the growth and regeneration of tissues, and is therefore widely used in treating skin lesions with inflammatory components (dermatitis, eczema, impetigo, and inflammatory acne vulgaris, cellulite, varicose ulcers …) in the process healing and the protector of the skin of babies.
It acts particularly effective in the following cases:
Hair and nails: zinc deficiency especially affects the growth of hair and nails.
Hair grows less, both in volume and length, or become dull and brittle, can be derived, even in an alopecia. For its part, nails break, gutting and have whitish spots.
Acne: Acne is common in puberty and is generally located on the face and chest.
A daily supplementation of zinc (10 milligrams, three times daily) significantly reduced the number of comedones (the pores of the skin that accumulates in grease and dirt) and inflammation that often accompanies them.
Streaks: Zinc is essential for elastic tissue, so its absence can cause the appearance of stretch marks, usually located on legs, muscles, hips, abdomen and breasts.
This particularly affects pregnant women, obese people, young people in that growth has been rapid, diabetic people treated with corticosteroids. A proper contribution will help prevent these injuries.
Healing: This mineral is also essential for wound healing and you mature. If no zinc in our bodies not only these injuries do not heal, but also tend to increase in size and become infected.
Herpes: zinc ions interfere with the process of evolution and help herpes do not develop.
Natural sources: meat, wheat germ, cheese, eggs.
