Press Release Body: 6 Superfoods For Age-Defying Beauty!

6 superfoods for age-defying beauty:

1) Goji Berries

Goji berries, hollywoods hottest new food, are one of the most nutritionally dense
foods on earth and house a staggering concentration of vitamins, minerals, amino
acids, phytochemicals and essential fatty acids. With such an awesome constitution
it is not surprising they are reputed anti-aging marvels. Originating in Tibet and
greatly favoured in traditional medicine these dried berries have many noted health
benefits including boosting immunity, lowering cholesterol, enhancing vision,
fighting cancer cells, relieving depression and aiding weight loss.

Goji berries contain 500 times more vitamin C than oranges by weight and more
beta-carotene than carrots making them a superb source of vitamin A. Together with
vitamin E and essential fatty acids, these berries are ideal for any anti-aging and
beauty regime. They also contain polysaccharides, one of which has been found to
stimulate the secretion of the rejuvenating human growth hormone by the pituitary
gland, as well as B vitamins, 21 minerals and 18 amino acids.

The most well documented case of longevity is that of Li Qing Yuen, who lived to the
age of 252. Born in 1678, he is said to have married 14 times with 11 generations of
posterity before his death in 1930. Li Qing Yuen reportedly consumed goji berries
daily.

A study cited in Dr. Mindell\'s book 'Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret\', observed
that 67 per cent of elderly people that were given a daily dose of the berries for 3
weeks experienced dramatic immune system enhancement and a significant improvement
in spirit and optimism.

2) Aloe Vera

Foget botox, Aloe Vera increases collagen production 100% naturally for a youthful,
wrinkle-free complexion and plump, beautiful skin. The ultimate botox alternative!

The inner gel of the aloe vera leaf contains around 200 active compounds with over
75 nutrients. These include 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins (even
vitamin B12 - one of the very few plant sources of this vitamin). Aloe vera also has
anti-microbial properties fighting fungi and bacteria and houses anti-inflammatory
plant steroids and enzymes. Aloe vera is known to aid digestion and elimination,
boost the immune system, and be highly effective at healing, moisturizing and
rejuvianting the skin, naturally stimulating the production of collagen.

Aloe vera is best eaten fresh when possible (you can order large aloe vera leaves
which last a few weeks refridgerated). Scrape out the inside gel, avoiding the
outside of the leaf which is a strong laxative, and blend with fruit for the
ultimate beautifying smoothie. Aloe vera has a mild flavour though a slight bitter
edge, hence is best combined with fruit.

3) Avocados

Avocados are smoothing and softening for the skin and easily absorbed; compared with
almond, corn, olive, and soybean oils, avocado oil has the highest skin penetration
rate.

Avocado also contains vitamin E (excellent for the skin), antioxidant carotenoids
and the master antioxidant glutathione that is exceptionally powerful and has
anti-carcinogenic potential. High levels of glutathione are found in the liver where
the elimination of toxic materials takes place.

Glutathione is effective against pollutants such as cigarette smoke and exhaust
fumes as well as ultra-violet radiation. Research is currently exploring the
potential benefits of glutathione for numerous conditions including cancer, heart
disease, memory loss, arthritis, Parkinson\'s disease, eczema, liver disorders, heavy
metal poisoning and AIDS.

4) Chlorella

The nucleic acids RNA and DNA in Chlorella (one of the highest known sources of
such) direct cellular growth and repair and enable our bodies to utilize nutrients
more effectively, eliminate toxins and avoid disease. The production of nucleic
acids in the body declines progressively as we age, which is no doubt why their
intake is recommended by Dr. Benjamin Frank in 'The No-Aging Diet\'. Paul Pitchford
in 'Healing With Whole Foods\' writes that 'insufficient nucleic acid causes
premature aging as well as weakened immunity\', Research at the Medical College of
Kanazawa in Japan found that mice that were fed chlorella had a 30 per cent increase
in life span. Replenishing RNA and DNA can be key to overall health, immunity and
longevity.

In addition to nucleic acids, chlorella is jam-packed with vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, enzymes and amino acids, making it an incredibly rejuvinating and
health-promoting superfood. Spirulina is a virtuous equivalent.

5) Bee pollen

When it comes to young and beautiful skin, bee pollen has outstanding gifts. Swedish
dermatologist Dr. Lars-Erik Essen uses bee pollen to successfully treat acne and
other skin conditions and observes it\'s beautifying and anti-aging effects. He
reports that bee pollen 'seems to prevent premature aging of the cells and
stimulates growth of new skin tissue. It offers effective protection against
dehydration and injects new life into dry cells. It smoothes away wrinkles and
stimulates a life-giving blood supply to all skin cells.\' He believes it\'s skin
rejuvintoin properties are due to its high concentration of nucleic acids RNA and
DNA, as well as its natural antibiotic action. Bee pollen has a host of other
health-promoting benefits that include fighting infections, lowering cholesterol,
strengthening the blood, Boosting the immune system, increasing physical strength
and stamina, aiding longevity and enhancing libido! It has been called a \'prefect
food\' because it is so nutritionally complete.

6) Coconut oil

Coconut oil speeds up your metabolism and can actually help you loose weight. It is
also incredibly beautifying and moisturizing for the skin and has antioxidant
properties which protect against free-radical damage, keeping the skin youthful and
healthy. Taken internally or externally coconut oil is a great ally for any beauty
skin care regime. It also contains lauric acid, an anti-microbial fatty acid that
kills bacteria, viruses and fungi.
