W: Watermelon

Watermelon’s red pulpy flesh contains the “mother of all antioxidants,” glutathione, which is known to help strengthen the immune system. It’s also high in vitamins C and A. As if that weren’t enough to convince you to eat more of this superfruit, among fruits and vegetables, watermelon has the highest concentration of lycopene, the powerful antioxidant that helps fight heart disease and cancer.

Let’s finish up the alphabet by showing you how to spice things up in the bedroom, treat your nails, and catch up on your Zzzs.

If you want to turn up the heat in the bedroom, try Maca powder – a root native to Peru. Incan warriors used the root in preparation for expeditions and battles to increase stamina and energy.

Y: Yellow Nails

If you hide your hands because of unsightly yellow nails, combining two supplements may be the trick you need to show off those digits. Try taking 1000 mg of vitamin E with 50 mg of zinc daily to get your nails white and healthy.
