Fruity Facts: Vitamin C and Anti-ageing

Disclaimer: This photo is not mine

Nobody wants to grow old or at least look old but instead of using plastic surgery, there are actually things you can use to help your skin looking young from Mother Nature herself and I'm talking about the fabulous Vitamin C. 

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful vitamins that helps with the anti-aging process because it helps stimulate the skin's elastic fibers, which pretty much means it helps the skin stay tight and helps fight those wrinkles and pigmentation. Vitamin C also helps healing wounds on the skin. 

You can get Vitamin C though fruits and vegetables, especially trough fruits such as lemons, orange, pomelo, grape, lime, mangoes, kiwi, berries but also in tomatoes, potatoes and green vegetables. So if you want a tighter looking skin, then make sure to eat lots of food that contains Vitamin C.

Lemon juice manicure:
If you're tired of nails looking yellowish because of all the nail polish you have used or because of smooking, try to dip your nails in a littlw bowl filled with lemon juice. It will help remove the yellowness from your nails and will make them stronger. 

Anti-age smoothie:
What you will need: 1 dl soya milk (or coconut or almund milk), 1/4 cup of chupped pineapples, 1/2 mango, 1 kiwi and 1 handful of berries (your own choice), 1 dl orange juice and 1 tsp green tea. You mix all the ingridients and blend away until you have a rich and smooth smoothie. 
The benefits: This drink is rich with enzymes, antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C which means it will help your skin stay young and smooth. 

Lemon marinade:
Use the juice from a lemon over your salad, fish or even use it as a dressing or apply it in your water or tea. 


Anyways that was all Mother Nature and I had to share for today so until next time - Ingat!
