Transform into a beautiful witch! Nutritionist: A balanced diet of three vegetables and two fruits

The topic of "beauty witches" is hot, and businesses have taken advantage of the opportunity to launch various products to grab business opportunities. However, nutritionists say that as long as you have a balanced diet, you can create a beauty witch with naturally good skin and a good complexion without the need for special external skin care products or medical beauty.

Zhou Qianqin, from the Department of Nutrition at the Linsen Branch of Taipei City United Hospital, said that Taiwan has sufficient sunshine throughout the year. For those who love beauty, it is a big challenge to maintain healthy and fair skin for a long time like a beauty witch. Moreover, in order to maintain their figure, Chinese women often resort to intense dieting or weight loss methods that only eat fruits and vegetables to maintain their body shape. As a result, due to insufficient calories and unbalanced nutrient intake in the body, the skin looks dull and dry.

Nutritionist Zhou Qianqin said that the term "beauty witch" originated in Japan and refers to a beautiful mature woman who is actually over 35 years old but looks like a young woman. If mature women want to have good skin like a beauty witch, they only need to maintain a balanced diet, eat three vegetables and two fruits a day, and eat less sweet and high-fat foods. This will allow the body to be completely conditioned from the inside out, showing a moist and radiant complexion, and showing good white and rosy skin and complexion, creating a natural and healthy beauty witch.

Dr. Zhou Qianqin said that in addition to the ingredients listed in the above table, you can also choose Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, Codonopsis and Lotus Seed Chicken Soup to nourish the spleen and replenish Qi, help blood production, and make the skin more rosy. The ingredients for Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup include 1 liang of white fungus, 2 liang of lotus seeds, 10 red dates, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar.
