Eating for Vitality and Beauty 


It is always the simple that produces the marvelous. —Amelia Barr

The food you eat is reflected in the mirror—your eating choices affect how you look and feel. Whether you like your image or not, there’s always room for improvement. Try to simplify your food consumption. Opt for the best food choices for your precious health and beauty. A well-balanced diet, a nutrient-rich diet, and the Mediterranean diet seem the same. The Mediterranean diet is good for us and is centered on foods that most of us love. It’s also practical and easy to follow. It’s based on olive oil, wine, and other important ingredients, such as whole grains, legumes, pasta, garlic, greens, cheese, meat (including fish), eggs, fruit, and lots of vegetables. I consider all these appealing foods medicinal and healing, when eaten in moderation, of course. Medicinal food helps the body heal itself and maintains balance, as well as being delicious and nutritious.
