There are always "ageless women" in life. They are already over forty years old, but their skin is still rosy and radiant, and they are full of vitality and energy, envied by others. Do you know what their secret to staying young and healthy is? Actually, it is closely related to their diet.
Women should eat warm and mild foods. Coldness is the root cause of troubles for women. "Cold women" have poor blood circulation, cold hands and feet, and often experience discomfort and pain. Poor blood circulation can lead to facial blemishes and dull skin, making the skin lifeless.
Many women have porcelain-like perfect skin, but lack youthful vitality. On the other hand, some women in their forties have grey hair, but still exude charm and have a rosy complexion, not inferior to women in their twenties or thirties. The most annoying thing is that when the body warms up and the blood starts flowing, the excess fat around the belly button and thighs will disappear. Women with a cold constitution can eat lean meat, ginger, dates, longan, glutinous rice, sweet potatoes, and milk, which have the effects of dispersing coldness, warming the meridians, and promoting blood circulation. It is also recommended to drink hot beverages and soups as much as possible.
Daily diet should consist of detoxifying and cleansing foods in order to eliminate toxins and maintain lifelong beauty. If there are too many toxins in the body, not only will there be facial blemishes and acne, but the skin will also become rough and there may be bad breath. Furthermore, the obstruction of blood circulation caused by toxins can lead to organ dysfunction and the toxins will become more active, resulting in fatigue and various discomforts or diseases. In addition, toxins can also affect the mind, causing a decrease in attention and energy, and negative emotions.
By eliminating residual and accumulated toxins from the body and paying attention to dietary details every day, one can unknowingly improve their health index and gradually improve their skin. Foods such as konjac, black fungus, kelp, apples, honey, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, and cabbage can improve the internal environment of the body and make women look younger from the inside out. Eating vegetarian food for two days a week gives the digestive system a chance to rest, making the whole person feel relaxed.
It is natural for women to like snacks. Snacks can supplement certain essential nutrients, promote dietary balance, maintain physical health, and nourish blood. However, snacks should only be a supplement and not a substitute for regular meals. Women usually eat less during regular meals, which can easily lead to hunger. Therefore, it is important to schedule snack time properly. Snacks can be eaten between meals, such as between 9:00-10:00 in the morning and 15:00-16:00 in the afternoon. This can help prevent hunger, increase nutrition intake, and not affect the amount of food consumed during regular meals.
Women should be cautious when choosing snacks. They should ensure that snacks are nutritious and do not harm the spleen, stomach, or overall health. Fresh seasonal fruits and nuts are considered top-tier snacks and can be consumed regularly. Dried meat, fish slices, seaweed, chocolate, yogurt, cheese, and whole wheat biscuits are considered moderate-tier snacks and can be consumed selectively. Puffed snacks, preserved fruits, cream pastries, puff pastries, and processed cooked meats are considered restricted-tier snacks and should be consumed sparingly or avoided altogether. Restricted-tier snacks are highly processed foods that often contain various additives such as salt, sugar, leavening agents, and preservatives, which can cause significant harm to the spleen and stomach. They are widely recognized as "junk food".
