Eat salad and herbs! Boring herbs such as Parsley, Coriander, Dill etc are health and beauty goldmines. Parsley for example is an excellent source of Pro-Vitamin A, several B Vitamins including Folic acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. It is rich in immunity-boosting Chlorophyll and contains a ridiculously negligble amount of calories, however being a good source of fibre it does help allay hunger pangs. Buy a bag of parsley seeds and plant some in your windowbox for daily, freshly picked, organic magic!
When free radicals steal electrons from healthy skin cells, they damage and oxidize these cells and also turn them into unstable free radicals, now in search of a balancing electron themselves. This process starts a chain-reaction of destruction within cutaneous tissue, damaging dermal cells, collagen fiber, elastin strands and cellular membrane.
ANTIOXIDANTS ARE NATURE'S MAGIC BULLETS AGAINST FREE RADICAL DAMAGE!
Antioxidants are present in abundance in all fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also enhance the antioxidant protection of your skin from the outside using antioxidant-rich skincare. This will neutralize damaging free radicals on the surface of your skin. Your first line of attack should however be preventing too many free radicals being formed on your skin in the first place.
Beauty Sleep Tip!
Get enough sleep to feel refreshed in the morning: at least 6 hours a night. If this is impossible, get into the habit of taking cat naps during the day. Some studies have shown that a 10 minute doze in the afternoon is the equivalent of 2 hours sleep!
