We will not lie, every time we hear a new cosmetic product that promises us youthful and glowing skin, we get excited and run to buy it. The truth is, that no matter how many such beauty products someone incorporates into one's daily beauty routine, if does not pay attention to own diet, will never see the desired results. The same view is held by women health and nutrition experts Nicole Granato and Nicolas Torrent, who claim that their famous clients, such as Demi Moore and Gisele, manage to "go back in time" by consuming the following 8 foods daily.
Reishi Mushrooms
"These mushrooms are often called 'the mushrooms of immortality,'" says Nicole.
"They are known to boost the immune system, protect against diseases such as cancer and heart disease, while giving glowing skin and reducing the feeling of anxiety and depression."
Pineapple
"Pineapple contains bromelain, a mixture of enzymes that help digestion and reduce inflammation," says Nicolas. "Pineapples contain many nutrients, vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, manganese, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and beta carotene."
Aloe Vera
"Aloe vera offers unique lubrication and hydration to the gastrointestinal tract and skin," says Nicolas. "Other benefits include detoxification, boosting the immune system, lowering cholesterol and blood sugar. It also helps with the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Its juice has many healing and antibacterial properties, which makes it ideal for sunburn and minor accidents. It can also help with constipation, improve blood circulation and delay the growth of tumors.
Coconut water
"It is full of many antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, B vitamins, vitamin C and minerals such as iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc," says Nicolas.
Protein
"It's essential for any diet plan," says Nicole. "I personally prefer vegetarian protein sources, such as legumes, cereals, asparagus, spinach, quinoa, almonds, Brazil nuts and broccoli."
Oats
"It belongs to the category of complex carbohydrates, which have a low glycemic index, which means that they increase your blood pressure. "As a result, oats reduce the chance of wrinkles and dehydrated skin," explains Nicole.
Berries
"They are full of antioxidants, which fight the oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can lead to disease," says Nicolas. "I love blueberries, strawberries and goji berries, which work wonders for healthy skin and hair."
Avocado
"It belongs to the category of 'good' fats, which take care of keeping the skin hydrated," says Nicole. "Avocados also help with the absorption of important nutrients and vitamins, which in turn fight wrinkles and fine lines."
