Skincare From Your Fridge

Beauty awaits you Not at the make-up counter Not at the day
spa Not at the plastic surgeon It awaits you in your
kitchen
Your best skin care secrets can come from your diet secrets
After all, you are what you eat So, in the words of Italian
mothers everywhere Mangia!
When it comes to eating for beauty, the rule is: the fresher,
the better Avoid processed foods whenever possible The fresher
your foods, the more nutrient packed Keep that in mind when
planning and preparing meals Shop like the Europeans Buy what
you need for a few days, not an entire week Cook things
healthfully, eat from all food groups and vary your diet
Eat your veggies
Fresh vegetables, when available, are preferable to canned or
frozen Raw produce has a greater concentration of vitamins and
minerals Less time at the stove, that’s attractive
All vegetables are beneficial So, if canned is all you’ve got
it’ll do But remember to hit the market tomorrow Green leafy
vegetables are high in beta-carotene which is essential for
healthy hair, eyes and skin Sprouts prevent wrinkles and age
spots Include some on your dinner menu tonight
Fresh fruit are great for you any time of day
Sweeten up your breakfast, indulge in a fruity mid-day snack,
have a healthy dessert Cantaloupe is high in vitamins A and C,
which promotes healing and controls oil on skin and scalp
Tomatoes (yes, they are a fruit) are packed with A (wrinkle and
pimple fighter) and beta-carotene Citrus fruits provide great
doses of vitamin C
Again, fresh is best What a sweetly indulgent way to take care
of yourself!
Proteins are building blocks
Turkey, chicken, fish, eggs, lean beef and soy all provide
protein and B vitamins which support hair and nail health, and
youthful skin Prepared healthfully, they’ll satisfy your
appetite and your form Fish, like salmon and sardines, are full
of protein and Omega 3 which promotes glowing skin
Drink water Lots of water It purifies you all the way down to
your cells, and speeds the regeneration of damaged tissue So,
even if you aren’t at your best now, you soon can be
Health and happiness equal beauty
When you eat goof foods, you’re nurturing your body When you’re
nurtured, you feel good When you feel good, you smile When you
smile, you look good So eat and enjoy your way to a healthier,
happier, prettier you
