Author says a person's health is reflected in their face ormer Georgetown resident Lisa Petty's has published a new book Living Beauty. In this book Living Beauty, nutritionist Lisa Petty shows how our appearance provides important clues to potentially serious health conditions-- like thyroid imbalances and circulatory problems. According to Petty, hair loss, acne, psoriasis and other beauty concerns are not superficial, but instead might indicate a deeper cause for concern. "In fact," said Petty, "We ALL need a healthy dose of vanity." In her book, the nutritionist and health journalist shares the simple yet important message that beauty equals health. In fact, through Living Beauty, Petty shows how the condition of our skin, hair, nails and smile broadcasts the state of our internal health and provides valuable clues as to what nutrients are missing-- or excessive-- in our diets. Often, simple dietary changes solve your beauty dilemmas without you having to spend a dime at the cosmetics counter. Living Beauty, published by Fitzhenry&Whiteside, describes simple ways to achieving health and beauty goals for both women and men, and includes healthy recipes, and make-up tips contributed by New York City celebrity make-up artist Rose-Marie Swift as well as a cosmetics and body care ingredient dictionary.
