9 Things you should eat this summer
The spring’s great, the summer better. Time for picknicks in the park and barbecue sessions. But take note, the things you eat influence your figure and skin.
Don’t go for sausages and greasy sauces but focus on these 9 products to look rejuvenated and refreshed this summer.
Maar let op, wat je eet beïnvloedt je figuur én je huid.
- watermelon, watermelon, watermelon
This fruit contains, oddly enough, water for 90 % and also a lot of vitamin C. It hydrates the skin and contributes to the production of collagen. That and the antioxidants help to prevent ageing.
- Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries.
They’re delicious and full of antioxidants, which protect you against the harmful effects of the sun. When it’s past five, blend them with a dash of vodka. It should remain fun, after all.
- Pineapple
Full of vitamins and minerals. Pineapple also contains bromelain, which works great if you’re overheated or burnt.
- Citrus fruit. Lemon, orange, lime
- I won’t bother you with the technical explanation of proline and lysine but it helps the collagen production which makes you look younger.
- 5. Cucumber
Just like watermelons, they mostly consist of water. It’s refreshing and hydrating, and also a great snack.
- Tomatoes
Great against wrinkles and lines. I advise a fresh gazpacho during lunch. You’ll have tomato and cucumber in one go.
- Arugula
Delicious through your pasta. It contains vitamin k and a. Did you also know it’s great for acne and eczema. Well, fighting it.
- Salmon
Rich in omega 3 which keeps your skin flexible.
- Coconut water
Please don’t drink those chemical workout drinks. Just put a straw in a coconut and drink. Gives you a flexible skin and it’s so healthy. Also the perfect medicine for a hang over. Though that’s probably never bothering you.
