What is the super food that keeps you young, keeps you fat, and eliminates waste?

Do you often envy the celebrities and entertainers on television who seem to have remained the same for decades and show no signs of aging at all? In addition to the advantages of natural genes, the key to beauty actually depends on a healthy and nutritious diet and a happy mood.

According to the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, as long as you have a balanced diet, drink enough water and cleanse properly, your skin will naturally regenerate approximately every 27 days. However, modern people lead stressful lives, and coupled with the three main causes of aging: stress, dirty air, and ultraviolet rays, the body may need more nutrients to help repair and regenerate the skin.

The first step to a beautiful life: Use abundant and complete nutrients to transform your skin texture and instantly upgrade your beauty

The secret to staying young lies in balanced nutrition. In particular, the antioxidant series of vitamins A, C, and E are good helpers in fighting against ultraviolet rays, dirty air, and maintaining skin elasticity. So remember to eat more vegetables and fruits of different colors, such as purple cabbage, watermelon, blueberries, kiwi fruit, cherry tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, broccoli, onions, and various wild vegetables are all good choices.

If you are busy and cannot eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, low-sugar vinegar drinks are also a good maintenance option! According to a study conducted by Dr. Seki of Kumamoto University in Japan in the Journal of Agriculture Food Chemistry, fermented vinegar contains many antioxidant nutrients. When choosing vinegar, the production process can help to identify its nutritional value. Aged vinegar brewed according to ancient methods, through the catalysis of time, the acetic acid in the vinegar not only inhibits bacteria, but also changes with the compounds in various ingredients, making the aroma more charming. Therefore, the flavor and value of aged vinegar are usually better than new vinegar.

However, some vinegar products on the market only pursue flavor. They are made from brewed vinegar and then various ingredients are added, such as sugar, salt, cooking oil, vegetables, fruits and fruit juices. Some even have spices, sweeteners, caramel coloring, etc. Such vinegar products are of course different from simple vinegar products. In addition to their low nutritional value and excess sugar and salt, they also need to consider the shelf life. Many people have the experience of drinking expired vinegar with a strange taste.

The second step of a beautiful life: sour and smooth taste, low salt and low calories, appetizing, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle

Maintaining a good figure is nothing more than eating less greasy food, but many people often complain to nutritionists about how low-calorie foods are dry and tasteless. Does healthy food have to be so difficult to swallow? In fact, as long as you choose the right ingredients and use a little cooking skills, a calorie-controlled diet can also be delicious!

For example, you can use a variety of seasonal vegetables as the base, add a little nuts and dried fruits, drizzle with fermented vinegar made with a special flavor, and then pair it with grass-fed dry-fried lean beef, and it will be a balanced, low-calorie slimming dish.

In addition, the ancients said: Women are made of water, which is absolutely true! The body needs about 2000cc of water every day, 500cc of which comes from the water in the food itself, and 200~500cc comes from beverages such as coffee, tea, milk, and soy milk, so at least 1000cc of water is needed!

Nutritionists remind us to drink more water if we exercise or the weather is hot. Sufficient water intake can help the body metabolize excess sodium and avoid edema caused by eating too much salt. Using fermented vinegar diluted 1:10 instead of sugary drinks is also a smart choice for beautiful women!

The third step of a beautiful life: maintain good probiotics in the body to maintain gastrointestinal health and smooth detoxification

The appearance of your skin texture actually directly reflects the internal physiological metabolic state. Only when your gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys function normally can you have clear, flawless, and ageless skin. In particular, the modern functional medicine school (Functional Medicine) that focuses on disease prevention and anti-aging points out that the gastrointestinal tract is like a person’s second skin. If it is not properly taken care of, the body may lose an important line of defense for filtering toxins.

The internationally renowned Lancet published in 2003 that the integrity of intestinal epithelial cells is closely related to the status of the probiotic flora in the body, and also indirectly affects the body's immunity and various metabolisms. What foods can help grow good probiotics in the body? In addition to choosing yogurt and curd to supplement the bacterial flora at the right time, choose more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole grains, unrefined ingredients, fruits and vegetables, or vinegar drinks fermented from fruits. They all contain a certain degree of water-soluble fiber and pectin, which can help maintain the balance of beneficial bacteria and contribute to the environmental protection of the body.
