Superfoods for Beauty
Updated: Oct 15, 2019
I am sure this will sound weird, but often, when I sit down to eat, I imagine each nutrient dense bite of food I take, traveling through my body, being absorbed by my cells. The trillions of cells that the human body contains, holds only the power they are given- most of that is through FOOD! Yes, I believe there is also much might held in exercise (stimulating mitochondria), as well as the power of thought, and a touch of genetics, but those are blog posts for another time.
I realize smoothies may be a repetitive type recipe we see on social media, but honestly, they are one of the quickest, super-easiest ways to consume antioxidant + nutrients that literally have the ability to help repair our cells! Here is my tasty smoothie of choice:
