Eating For Healthy Skin
Imagine how it would be if someone
had discovered the fountain of youth,
or a magic wand that could reverse
ageing. Every one dreams of eternal
youth, but unfortunately, ageing sneaks
into our lives without too many warning
signs.
You may have even realised when you
started getting those freckles on
your face or when your skin started
losing its suppleness. But, fret not.
Although ageing is something that
you cannot avoid, you can definitely
combat the signs of ageing, gracefully.
And all this, just by making a few
changes in your diet.
Healthy Food Gives Healthy
Skin

You are what you eat. What you consume
on a daily basis has a major impact
on the skin and its texture. The biggest
problem with our diet is that we worry
only about the taste and aroma of
the food. To look good, you need to
follow a certain diet pattern. Using
wrong combinations in the diet will
cause faster degeneration of the cells.
These days, there are quite a number
of blends that have been scientifically
designed using the improved concepts
of orthomolecular sciences,”
says Dr Amitabh Pandit, co-author
of an anti-ageing book.
Stress and pollution may be the primary
factors affecting ageing, but what
about the toxins in our own bodies?
“A gentle detox can do wonders
for your skin. Be it lemon, turmeric
or other food items in your kitchen,
they can do wonders for your skin.
For a simple homemade blend, take
a few black pepper corns, thyme and
raisins. Boil the pepper and thyme,
and then strain the decoction. Now,
add mashed raisins and drink a glass
of this blend every day. See the difference.
Blends like this will help keep your
vital organs healthy,” says
Minnie Pandit co-author.
Facial rejuvenation, cosmetic surgery
and anti-ageing treatments may be
the norms today, but according to
beautician Kamla, all these treatments
have their backs turned on nature.
“When we have natural and economical
ways to fight ageing, why endure the
pain of going through these harsh
treatments. Your kitchen will have
every thing you need for a healthy
skin,” she says.

And people must not wait till they
hit their forties to start taking
care of their bodies and to combat
the signs of ageing. You start giving
milk to your children right from the
time they are born. Then, why delay
the fight against ageing? Instead
of falling prey to external treatments,
start taking care of your skin today,
urges Minnie.
Avoid white synthetic sugar and white
flour (maida) in your diet. Your health
will drastically improve. And last
but not the least, eat and drink right,”
she sums up
