Food for skin
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and is definitely my favourite! I think about breakfast more than any other meal, because I always think starting my day off positively will bring good energy to get me through the rest of the day.
This is my current favourite post-workout breakfast. Plain non-fat Chobani yoghurt, bananas, kiwi fruit, blueberries, chia seeds, a bit of granola and raw organic honey.
Natural/Greek yoghurt is full of potassium, calcium, protein and vitamin B, including B-12. All essential for aiding a healthy digestive system. A cleaner body leads to clearer skin!
Kiwi Fruit can aid you to younger, smoother and softer skin. It has the most vitamin C out of any other fruits which helps repair and firm skin, vitamin E for anti-aging benefits and decrease fine lines and wrinkles, and lycopene to help fight free radicals.
Blueberries are a super fruit rich in fibre, again great for your digestive system! Vitamin A which is great for anti-aging and fighting acne (as the skin renewal anti-aging products 'retinol/retin-A' are vitamin A based products. Vitamin C again to help repair skin and aid in the circulatory health by increasing the strength of blood vessels beneath the skin. They are also one of the best sources of antioxidants.
Chia seeds are one of the top super foods which not only is packed full of antioxidants for anti-aging benefits, but has a wide range of other benefits for the body as well. I definitely include having this sprinkled on top of any food I have during the day! It's a great addition and just adds texture to the the yoghurt.
Raw organic honey... I think I will have an individual post about this ingredient.. it really does wonders for the body and especially the skin!
I haven't blogged in so long, although I had been wanting to... I think I will try to post everyday. I went through 2012, trying and testing so many different products. I have a lot to review and share! I can't wait to get started!!
