10种自然的夏季所需的营养成分

1) Vitamin D维他命D

Vitamin D is produced by the body when we are exposed to the sun; however we need to be careful with the levels of exposure to the sun in New Zealand. Applying sunscreen and covering up is important for our skin, but it can also limit the absorption of vitamin D from the sun. Taking a vitamin D supplement can be a helpful way to ensure you are getting the recommended daily amount. Choose a Vitamin D3 supplement because this is the most active and absorbable form of vitamin D.

当我们暴露在阳光下时，身体会产生维生素D; 然而，在新西兰的阳光下我们则需要加倍小心。涂抹防晒霜对我们的皮肤至关重要，但它也会限制我们从阳光那里吸收维生素D。服用维生素D补充剂会是一个有用的方法，以确保你获得每日推荐的获取量。选择维生素D3补充剂，因为这是维生素D中最活跃和最容易被吸收的一类。

2) Vitamin C维他命C

One of the most effective nutrients fo rthe body, vitamin C is important for collagen production, as it supports firm skin and hair growth. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and helps to fight free radical damage to prevent premature ageing and reduce inflammation in the body. Not only used for healthier-looking skin, vitamin C assists in wound healing (including cuts and burns) making it an essential supplement if you are active in the outdoors this summer. 

作为身体最有效的营养素之一，维生素C对胶原蛋白的合成非常重要，因为它能支持皮肤和毛发再生。维生素C还是一种强大的抗氧化剂，有助于减缓自由基损伤，以防止过早衰老和减少体内炎症。如果你在夏天时参加户外活动，除了对皮肤的健康有所帮助，维生素C还有助于伤口愈合（包括切割和烧伤）。综上所述，使其成为一个必不可少的补充剂。

3) Vitamin E维他命E

Another powerful antioxidant is vitamin E, which boosts blood circulation and hair growth. Vitamin E can be found in nuts and seeds, however when used as a supplement, taken alongside vitamin C, it can also help protect your skin from the suns damaging rays.

另一种强大的抗氧化剂是维生素E，它可以促进血液循环和毛发生长。维生素E存在坚果和种子中，但是当被用作补充剂时，与维生素C一起，它也可以帮助保护你的皮肤免受太阳光线的损伤。

4) Biotin生物素

Summer is synonymous with swimming, but too much exposure to salt and chlorine can cause dry and brittle skin, hair and nails. Also known as vitamin H, biotin is great for summer when we spend time in the water and at the beach, as not only does it prevent hair and nails from breaking, it also helps to stimulate growth. Biotin can be sourced from eggs, dairy and red meat, however a supplement is a great way to ensure you are getting your daily dose. 

夏天与游泳是同义词，但暴露在太多的盐和氯中，可能导致皮肤，头发和指甲干燥和脆弱。生物素，常被俗称为维生素H，也是必不可少的所需营养之一。 尤其是在夏季里，我们将在沙滩和水中活动更多的时间，因为它不仅可以防止头发和指甲破裂，它还有助于刺激它们的再生。生物素可以来自鸡蛋，乳制品和红肉，但是补充剂是确保你得到每日剂量的最好方法。

5) Placenta胎盘素

Placenta has been traditionally used throughout Asia for hundreds of years for its anti-ageing and antioxidant effects. Placenta is a rich source of nutrients that supports skin health by smoothing wrinkles, increasing skin vitality, and supporting general health and wellbeing.

在亚洲传统文化中，胎盘素被用于抗衰老和抗氧化的历史长达数百年。胎盘是一种丰富的营养素来源，通过抚平皱纹，增加皮肤活力，来帮助皮肤的健康。它还可以帮到很多其他方面。

6) Silica硅

Known as the beauty mineral, silic ais found in our body’s fast growing tissues. A key component of collagen, our bodies depend on silica to prevent dry skin, hair breakage and brittle nails .As we become older, our silica production decreases and as it is found in low levels in our diet, our bodies become prone to damage. Silica can help to revitalise your hair, skin and nails by regenerating and reviving collagen. 

被称为美容矿物质，硅存在于我们的身体里快速增长的组织中。是胶原蛋白的关键成分，我们的身体依赖于硅，以防止皮肤干燥，毛发断裂和指甲脆化。随着我们年龄的增长，我们自身的硅的合成量逐步减少，而且在我们的饮食中它也并不多见，导致我们的身体变得更容易损伤。硅可以通过恢复胶原蛋白合成，并帮助秀发，皮肤和指甲的再生。

7) Evening Primrose Oil月见草油

Evening Primrose Oil is a rich source of omega-6 essential fatty acids, which helps to keep your skin moisturised from the inside out. Evening Primrose Oil supports cell health, helps to reduce the signs of ageing and maintains healthy, supple skin. 

月见草油是omega-6脂肪酸的丰富来源，这有助于保持你的皮肤从内而外的保湿。月见草油有助于细胞健康，延缓衰老，并可保持皮肤的健康和柔软。

8) Fish Oil鱼油

Omega-3 fatty acids are also important in maintaining healthy skin and shiny hair. Fish oil promotes hydration and reduces inflammation. The body does not produce essential fatty acids, so it is important that you include enough in your diet. If you find increasing your weekly servings of omega-rich fish through food difficult, then an Omega-3 fish oil supplement may be a convenient alternative. 

Omega-3脂肪酸在维持皮肤的健康和头发亮丽方面也很重要。鱼油可以促进补水合并可以减少炎症。由于我们自身并不能产生脂肪酸，所以在饮食中保持足够的摄取量是至关重要的。如果你发现通过饮食很难增加它的摄取量，那么omega-3鱼油补充剂可能是一个方便的选择。

9) Grape Seed葡萄籽

Grape seed extract has been found to prevent premature ageing and loss of skin elasticity. An excellent antioxidant, grape seed helps the renewal of collagen and elastin in the blood vessels and skin, and protects the cells from free radical damage. 

葡萄籽提取物已被证实可以防止过早老化和皮肤弹性损失。葡萄籽，这种优秀的抗氧化剂，可以帮助胶原和弹性蛋白在血管和皮肤中的更新，并保护细胞免受自由基损伤。

10) Zinc锌

Zinc is well-known for supporting a healthy immune system, but did you know that it also plays a role in the production of collagen, which is essential for healthy, supple skin, cell repair and strong hair and nails. If you notice your hair sheds a lot, you have slow healing wounds, stretch marks or white spots on your nails, taking a Zinc supplement may be just what your body needs.

众所周知，锌对免疫系统很有帮助，但你知道它也在胶原蛋白的生产中发挥作用吗，这对于健康，皮肤的柔嫩，细胞修复和健康头发和指甲是至关重要的。如果你注意到脱发，伤口愈合缓慢，妊娠纹或指甲上有白色斑点，您就需要补充锌了。
