Save your skin

__///____////____
Suspended particulate matter and poisonous gases that
turn into acids when they come in contact with moisture,
or sweat on the skin lower the pH levels of the skin.
They make skin acidic, thereby burning it and causing
pigmentation. Your skin becomes vulnerable to ­
environmental stress when it is dehydrated. So keep it
clean and hydrated to fight premature ageing and acne.
Here are a few drinks that’ll keep you hydrated, will
purify your blood and help flush toxins out of your body.
* Bitter gourd soup: Heat one tsp of rice bran oil.
Shallow fry half a cup of de-seeded and chopped bitter
gourd for 10 minutes. Add one small chopped onion, five
crushed garlic pods and salt and pepper to taste. Saute
for five minutes. Add two cups of water to it and let the
soup simmer for five minutes. Now turn off the flame,
add one tsp honey and garnish with one tbsp coconut
milk.
* Mixed vegetable juice: This nutritious drink is made
from carrot, spinach, bottle gourd, cucumber, tomato,
garlic, aloe vera and amla.
* Coconut-lime detox water: To a slightly warm half cup
of water, add a cup of fresh coconut water. Squeeze a
fresh lime into it and your detox drink is ready. You can
also add triphala juice, citrus fruits, broccoli-carrot salad
and walnuts and flax seeds (rich in omega-3 and
omega-6) to your detox-diet.
