If you’re scrutinizing over your dull, dry winter skin and fine lines and wrinkles, you’re not alone. Beautiful, glowing skin starts with how we eat, but anti-ageing food can also help with more than that. When we pack our diet with vibrant foods loaded with antioxidants, healthy fats, water, and essential nutrients, our body will show its appreciation through its largest organ: our skin. After all, the skin is often the first part of our body to show internal trouble, and there’s only so much that lotions, creams, masks, and serums can do before we need to take a closer look at what’s fueling us.
Experts say it’s time to forget the expensive creams and procedures. The key to ageing gracefully is simple: Eat healthily.
Things Required:
- Sprouts – 2 tablespoons
How To:
- Take a hand full of whatever pulses or beans you need and soak them in a bowl of water overnight for 6 hours.
- Drain the water from the seeds and always keep an eye on the moisture level in the bowl. Remember we want to the seeds to be moist to ensure that spray water as required.
- Repeat this for up to 4 days and you can get your sprouts.
Eating sprouts every day has been proven to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Why it Works:
It’s a well know fact that beans and pulses are the best natural source of protein. The cause of wrinkles is the weakening of collagen and elastin in the skin that happens as we age.
Amino acids found in protein sources can help rebuild and repair the damage. Vitamin, such as A, B, C and E, and essential fatty acid nutrients increase in sprouting and minerals bind to protein, making them more easily absorbed.
