Olive oil: healthy fat

Fat is not just fat. While it is true that fats are one of the calorie-containing essences in our diet and make you fat when over-eaten, not all oil is necessarily unhealthy. On the contrary, olive oil is a real health and beauty sensation. Due to the high content of vitamin E and K, the oil extracted from the olive oil has an extremely high content of unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are those that do not land directly on the hips but serve as an engine for various metabolic processes. The oil of the Greek beauty fruit is said to reduce the cholesterol concentration in the blood, make the blood vessels elastic and thus have a positive effect on the blood circulation, ie the risk of heart and stroke, to be able to act.

And olive oil is still nice. The high concentration of linoleic acid helps the skin to build up its natural barrier layer, protecting it from dehydration, keeping it soft, smooth and supple. Due to the large proportion of so-called polyphenols olive oil is considered one of the best radical scavengers. By the way, basically, all oils have the most effective use when consumed at room temperature. Heating causes valuable nutrients to be lost. Last beauty tip: Olive oil makes beautiful not only from the inside but also from the outside. Simply massage pure olive oil into the damp skin after showering. Moisture is bound by the oil and is transported deep into the skin.

Milk: The sip of beauty

Even Queen Cleopatra knew something nice! Milk baths were her recipe for a royal complexion. A trick that still works today. Try it and put one liter of milk in your bathwater. Due to the high proportion of protein, vitamins A and B as well as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc, milk has a high nutrient content, which is absorbed by the skin particularly well and moisturizes it sustainably. A subsequent glass of fresh milk provides the rest of the beauty kick. The high calcium content stabilizes the cell walls from inside. The skin looks stronger, firmer and the hair also benefits from the invigorating effect of the white beauty drink.

Honey: golden beauty elixir

The bad news in advance: sugar, no matter in what form, should always be consumed sparingly. Because whether fructose, natural sweetness of honey or industrial sugar, everyone is unhealthy in large quantities. However, when eaten in bulk, the delicious sweetness can achieve true beauty wonders. Above all, honey is regarded as a golden beauty elixir and is real beauty food. In addition to boosting the production of happiness hormones, honey contains an enzyme that promotes disinfecting and antibiotic processes in the body. The antiseptic effect of the golden nectar helps against inflammatory blackheads, redness, and pimples as well as torn corners of the mouth and brittle lips. An evening cup of tea with a spoonful of honey should also promote (beauty) sleep. Beauty tip for external use: Mix Vaseline with a few drops of honey and put the sweet mass on torn and chapped lips. But do not lick it, the honey should move in nicely.

Soy: Meatless eating

Vegetarians have their own steak. And that's a pure vegetable, but knows the same protein quality, as meat. The protein building blocks, which are contained in soy products, can be processed by the body sometimes even better than animal protein suppliers. In addition, the polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, B vitamins, and vitamin E as well as some minerals, make soybeans the unbeatable beauty-maker. A special beauty bonus is provided by the high content of plant estrogens, which stimulates collagen production in the body and thus ensures a firm skin appearance. Another plus: Contained isoflavones (plant ingredients) fill up the moisture deposits of the skin and stimulate the blood circulation. In addition, they have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, protect the elastin fibers of the skin and thus stimulate the fountain of youth in the organism.

Fruit: Beauty Food for a fresh complexion

Vitamin-technically, the fruit is unbeatable. Especially in citrus fruits is pure vitamin C. This power vitamin stimulates the regeneration of collagen fibers in the connective tissue and thus ensures perfect skin tension. With an antioxidant blend of vitamins A and C and alpha-linoleic acid, kiwis, apples, oranges, grapefruits, and pineapples are the ones that struggle to combat wrinkles, wrinkles, and similar unseasonable aging. Incidentally, even nasty cough, cold and hoarseness fours keep the vitamin C bombs in check. Already one kiwi per day programs the immune system to defensive mode. The only catch: Fruits are small sugar bombs. Although fructose has a natural origin, its calorie content is similar to industrial sweetness. However, the fruit is absolutely healthy (compared to chocolate and other sweet sins anyway!), but should not be consumed in excessive quantities.

Avocado: Green for supple skin

The creamy fruits are among the few plant substances that have a naturally high proportion of fat. Although the avocado is not exactly low in calories, it still makes you healthy and beautiful. The vegetable fat of the avocado, similar to olive oil, has a regulating effect on blood cholesterol levels. The high content of B vitamins is also beneficial for the metabolic processes in the brain. And for the skin is the small, green fruit as a great anti-aging ace. The high content of vitamin E keeps the skin elastic, has an anti-oxidative effect and can even lighten age spots or pigmentation disorders. Avocados have a regenerating effect on the hair's structure in that their enzymes bind the horn structure and thus make the hair stronger. And by the way, also from the outside: Puree the flesh of an avocado, put the mass in damp hair and let it act for ten minutes before rinsing everything with warm water. The hair is nourished by the fruit, shine and feel particularly soft.

Yellow vegetables: plant power for the skin

Carrots, peppers, sweet potatoes, and root vegetables: All of these foods contain an extra dose of beta-carotene and are thus able to strengthen the skin's own protection against sun damage. Beta-carotene can scavenge free radicals caused by UV radiation and rebalance the energy level of the skin. Carrots are also known for their anti-aging effects. The reason for this is the high vitamin E content, which makes the cell walls more stable. Incidentally, all vegetables have the advantage, in comparison to fruit, that they have a low sugar content and can, therefore, be consumed in large quantities without remorse. Especially as a snack for the small appetite in between raw vegetables (which contains more vitamins and plant substances than cooked) is the best choice. It is filling, can be prepared without much effort and is extremely healthy.
