Eat Wisely for Better Skin and Health...
Dear Folks,
In a two- posts series, I wish to write on quality foods which we should focus on to enhance our skin, memory, boost energy...
Let's see what are these foods.
Soothe dry skin with leafy green vegetables
For glowing and smooth skin, we should be taking about 10 milligrams of lutein a day – a nutrient naturally found in spinach , kale and collard greens which increases moisture in our skin Eat at least a cup of cooked leafy greens daily – that amount supplies 10 milligrams or more of lutein. Saute them in a little olive oil, and season with garlic, herbs, chopped nuts or dried fruit for a flavor boost.
Improve Your Memory With Whole Grains
If you’re having trouble learning the names of new co-workers, or having difficulties in remembering what you did with your house keys, your blood-sugar levels may be to blame. Having 3 servings of whole grains a day may be all it takes to prevent your blood-sugar levels from creeping up in your 30s and 40s.
Eat a sandwich made with whole-wheat bread plus additional cup of whole-grain cereal for breakfast or snack on 2 cups of air-popped popcorn. Many products noted on the label the number of grams of whole grains each portion contains; aim for at least 48 grams daily, the equivalent of 3 servings.
Boost Your Energy With Dark Chocolate
Eating dark chocolate can help revive you up, giving a short-term boost to cognitive skills, according to a new study from the University of Nottingham in England. The cocoa caused blood vessels in the brain to dilate, improving blood flow and allowing more oxygen in for 2 to 3 hours – changes that help you feel more alert.
But if you are weight conscious and are afraid you won’t stop at one or one or two small pieces, go for alternative like green tea and berries.
Banish Bloating With Banana
It’s possible to wake up feeling bloated even if you didn’t eat a lot of salty foods the day before. The culprit? Too little potassium, a mineral that helps regulate your body’s fluid levels. Most of us, women don’t come close to getting the 4,700 milligrams we need daily which is a mistake, because a banana is one of the most potassium-rich foods, and it’s quite convenient.
Simply slicing a banana into a bowl of low-fat plain or vanilla yogurt which is also packed with potassium, makes an easy morning breakfast if you wake up looking a little puffy. The combo will dole out more than 1,000 milligrams’ worth of potassium. For an extra 500 milligrams, have a glass of orange juice.
So, you now realized the popularity of leafy vegetable, grains, bananas with its high potassium and even the goodness of dark chocolate.
Stay tuned to next week's post which I will reveal more goodness of other foods.
To your health and beauty success,
