How To Get Rid Of Age Signs?
Which woman doesn’t want younger looking skin? Alas,
it doesn’t happen that easily. We need to take out time to exercise, massage
and relax our face to maintain a youthful look. But another essential component
is our diet. Eating the right foods can help nourish the skin from the inside
out. Face yoga expert Danielle Collins shares her top
anti-ageing juice and smoothie recipes which will keep your skin young and
healthy.
3 Best Anti-Aging Foods
1. Super Green Antioxidant Juice
This juice contains spinach, kale,
grapes, apple and orange. It is high in antioxidants which help
reduce free radical damage caused by pollution, stress, sun and poor food
choices. The result is firmer, clearer and more youthful skin. Spinach is known
to help keep the eyes healthy. Another ingredient, the superfood kale
(karam sag) is a beauty secret of many celebrities and is full of carotenoids.
Eating carotenoids like the ones found in kale helps maintain a healthy
skin colour. The fruits in this recipe not only add some great
taste but the vitamin C content found in these fruits helps the skin
produce collagen which results in firmer skin. All you need to do is blend all
the items together and then pour it in a glass. You can vary the quantities of
each according to your taste.
2. Cleansing Juice
This juice contains carrot, apple and ginger and
helps the skin glow from the inside out by detoxifying, cleansing and
nourishing the internal organs.
Carrot is high in vitamin A and
antioxidants which protect the skin from sun damage preventing premature
wrinkling and uneven skin tone. It also assists the liver in flushing
out toxins from the body. It reduces the bile and fat in the liver
and cleanses the colon.
The ginger in the juice is full of
anti-inflammatory substances which aid digestion. Ginger contains
chromium, magnesium and zinc which can help improve blood flow inhibiting fatty
deposits from the arteries. Drink it any time in the day but it is
particularly helpful in the evening. Add the quantity of ingredients in a
mixer according to your preference.
3. Protein Smoothie
This smoothie works well after your 10 -minute face
yoga workout. Blend together almond milk, rice milk, organic bio live
yoghurt, blueberries, raspberries, banana and some protein powder. Protein helps
to heal and repair, and gives us stamina and energy. Almond milk is high
in protein which can improve the condition of our skin, hair and nails and
along with regular face exercise, can help the face appear toned and firm. The
organic bio live natural yoghurt in the smoothie is not only high in protein
but also helps with digestive health. A blocked digestive system can clog our
skin so it is essential to keep it healthy. Add a scoop of
protein powder to the smoothie for an extra protein boost. It is important to
understand that if we were to stop eating protein, our body and face would
start to breakdown muscle for protein, leading to weakened and less defined
muscles in the body and face. The berries in the recipe not only add some
great flavour to this smoothie but are also full of ingredients
which can help fight wrinkles. Add more berries if you want a sweet flavour and
the other ingredients too according to your liking.
These recipes just take a couple of minutes to
prepare and are great as a snack or can even be used as healthy
breakfast ideas. Quantity of ingredients for juices and smoothies should be
varied according to taste, number of people served or simply what you have in
your fridge and store cupboard.
The recipes are not designed to
be meal replacements but rather an additional health boost based
on fresh, natural ingredients. In order to eat a healthy, balanced diet it is
important to vary your food each day to get a full range of nutrients. Use
these recipes as suggestions and inspirations.
These smoothies and juices do not take in to
consideration any personal food intolerances, preferences or allergies
so please consult your doctor or healthcare practitioner before embarking on
any new way of eating. Hope you enjoy making and tasting these delicious
and nutritious recipes.
