Staying beautiful and young as long as possible is the dream of every woman. However, relying only on genetics and careful care is not worth it, nutrition is also important. What foods are especially good for women?
Cosmetologists say that beauty comes from within. And if you eat right, then the amount of special products for skin and hair can be minimized. About what products can improve not only the appearance, but also the reproductive function of a woman, the program “Food is alive and dead” on the NTV channel told.
It’s just a sea of vitamins and minerals! For women, it is especially important due to the iron, the lack of which is provided by both pregnancy and natural regular blood loss. Pallor of the skin, brittle nails and hair are all symptoms of iron deficiency, which the liver will help to effectively resist.
This cereal also supplies the body with iron (although slightly less efficiently than the liver). In addition to iron, this cereal also contains lignin, a substance that lowers cholesterol levels. This indicator is very important for health. Well, she also helps beauty. If you spend fasting days on buckwheat, this is useful for your figure and for the condition of the skin. In addition, due to the high amount of fiber, buckwheat reduces the risk of developing cancer. In particular, breast cancer, which steadfastly holds the palm among all female oncological diseases.
All its varieties are useful – white cabbage, colored, broccoli. Contrary to popular belief, it does not help breast growth. But cabbage is full of powerful antioxidants. And then there is glucarafanin – a killer of malignant cells. Broccoli is especially rich in it. This explains the relatively low incidence of breast cancer in Poland: Polish women love cabbage in a variety of forms and eat a lot of it. Do not limit your consumption of cabbage to any one type: each of them has its own merits. Cabbage phytoestrogens also help to prolong youth, in the content of which, again, broccoli is in the lead. To maximize the benefits, it is better not to expose cabbage to excessive heat treatment.
This juicy berry is essential for women’s health. For example, it contains anthocyanins, anti-inflammatory substances that fight harmful microbes. If you suffer from cystitis, cranberries and drinks made from it are exactly what you need. There are other substances in it that fight free radicals, which means early aging. And then there are substances that regulate hormonal balance and fight nausea during pregnancy. In addition, due to its high content of vitamin C, cranberry strengthens blood vessels, which means it improves the appearance of the skin.
Rosemary, turmeric, cinnamon, and others help you eat less salt, which is one of the main enemies of beauty. Each of the spices has its own special effect. For example, turmeric stops aging, rosemary strengthens memory, cinnamon helps relieve pain during menstruation, and in cosmetology it has an anti-inflammatory, wound healing and regenerating effect. Most often, cinnamon is used in scrubs and peels.
Scientists in ancient times noticed that moderation in diet and its variety are the key to health, and therefore beauty. Include the above foods more often in your diet – and the reflection in the mirror will only delight you.
