Beauty Bites

Replace those packets of chips and biscuits from your desk and instead stock up on these for healthy, beautilicious snacking…

1. Almonds: If acne has made your face its favourite playground, eating almonds can really help to shoo them away. Rich in vitamin E, they are effective in lessening the appearance of black heads and dark spots, too. You can also apply a fine paste of almonds on your face, but intake is utmost important.
2. Blueberries: The tiny, adorable berries are a powerhouse of antioxidants which are touted as being the nature’s fountain of youth. Chow down a couple in between meals when those hunger pangs are making you go crazy and expect your skin to look firmer and glowing.
3. Greek Yogurt: It has double the amount of protein in it than the other regular ones. Stock up on a couple of packets and either add some to your meal or just snack on it when you are hungry, and those age lines will be a distant dream.
4. Honey: Say goodbye to, especially, white refined sugar and instead use honey in your meals and drinks. It will give you added energy and will not be harmful for your system as well.
5. Tomatoes: If you have been having a tough time dealing with oily skin, ever since you stepped into puberty, tomatoes can be quite the solution you need. With their natural acidic content, they help balance the skin and eliminate excessive oil. They also contain lycopene, which is said have anti-ageing properties.
6. Figs: Whether dried or in their pulpy, fruit form figs are downright delicious and have a high content of dietary fibre which helps in weight loss.  The fibre creates a feeling of fullness and so you end up eating less, avoiding all the unnecessary junk and the potassium in them helps maintain beautiful hair and also reduces hair loss.
