Eat yourself beautiful

Is it really possible to eat yourself beautiful? Apparently so—if you eat the right things, that is. The term “superfood” is bandied around a lot these days but there’s actually a lot of truth in the claims, with many foods having this status being known to help keep your body fit and healthy thanks to their range of anti-oxidants and disease-fighting qualities, and incorporating a few of these foods into your daily diet could be all you need to do to stay looking and feeling fantastic.

Berries are arguably the disease-fighter of the fruit world, with studies showing that they have more beneficial qualities than most other types of fruit. Strawberries in particular are packed with anti-oxidants to prevent the build-up of free radicals in your body, and in doing so they can even help prevent premature aging to keep you looking younger for longer. Plus, a portion of strawberries packs in more vitamin C than an orange, and with vitamin C being vital in the fight against environmental damage your skin will benefit to keep you beautiful inside and out.

Who doesn’t love an excuse to eat more? And hey, it’s fruit, so it’s perfect for the health-conscious beauty fiends among us. It needn’t even be that difficult to reap the benefits—throw a few berries on your morning cereal, eat a cupful as your afternoon snack, blend with yoghurt for the ultimate smoothie or create a good old Eaton Mess by combining them with cream and crushed up meringue (OK, so that might not be so diet-friendly, but it certainly tastes good). And if you want an added strawberry hit just slather yourself with a generous helping of Butterlicious Strawberry and Pomegranate Body Butter—you’ll look, feel and smell amazing as you eat your daily portion of berries, so eat yourself beautiful and your body will thank you for it.
