Don’t you love food that addresses both your health and beauty needs? Are you ready to find out which foods will help you look and feel beautiful without costing you a fortune? Then let’s find out!
Cool cucumber
It’s gorgeous in a salad and is an amazing hunger buster if you need something to munch on but haven’t really got the calories to spare. Have no plans this evening? Perfect – set up a date with cucumber for your lids, alongside fragrant scented candles and soothing music for that much needed pick me up. Ah – heaven..
Cleopatra honey and yoghurt
What an amazing combo contributing antioxidants and minerals such as calcium for your bones. Either pour them on your breakfast cereal or layer it on your face for a Cleopatra themed face mask. You could also use agave nectar but I would suggest reading ‘The Sickly Truth About Agave Nectar’ first. What’s more, throw in some oats and you’ll be wondering whether to eat it, or use it as a face mask or both!
Aloe vera shots
Have a shot a day if you are pursuing inexpensive remedies for fighting off wrinkles and signs of ageing. What have you got to lose? If you are intrigued then read Aloe Vera - A Fun Step Towards Anti-Aging?
Appetizing avocado & olive oil
Unbelievably creamy and satisfying in salads, you can’t go wrong with avocado or olive oil. Did you know that it is just as perfect as a face mask for dry skin? The richness of avocado is ideal mixed with olive oil for a much deserved pampering session. Olive oil that has been gently warmed and applied to hair is also wonderful as a pre-wash conditioner. You’ll be amazed at how glossy and shiny your hair is afterwards. A perfect Sunday morning ritual, wouldn’t you agree?
Beautiful Banana
Finally, my favourite – the basic banana. Or is it really? It’s an excellent pre-exercise snack but what you may forget is that bananas like other fruit are packed with polyphenols and carotenoids important for their role in anti-aging. Did you know that in India, banana leaf based dressings have been developed as an excellent, cheap, non-adhesive and pain free form of dressing material?
Let’s not forget Superfood Cinnamon, Mighty Mango, , Berries, Garlic - To Kiss Away Wrinkles, or Onions & Turmeric.. The list truly is endless but since it’s nearly the weekend, let’s celebrate with Ravishing Raspberry Cocktail for anti-aging goodness from berries.
Happy Thursday lovely readers, and do let me know if you think of other magical beauty foods to share.
