Why Superfoods
WHAT ARE BEAUTY FOODS?
There are specific superfoods that are the 'beauty creams' of the edible world, thanks to valuable nutrients that fight signs of aging. Superfoods are part of a holistic approach to beauty and healthy skin. Your skincare routine should absolutely include beauty foods!
What makes something a beauty food?
- Antioxidants - neutralize and combat free radicals (the key to anti-aging)
- Vitamins and minerals - vitamin C in particular promotes collagen production and synthesis
- Healthy fats - essential for skin and brain health
- Hydrating - a key to glowing skin
- Digestion-boosting - gut health and skin are interconnected
- Cleansing and alkalizing - detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, balances pH levels
WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS?
Adaptogens are a unique and rare group of intelligent plants, herbs, and mushrooms (only one in ~4,000 types of plants are adaptogens). They help your body better handle stress, fatigue, and balance hormones. These non-toxic plants adapt to the body’s specific needs without overstimulation and have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions.
There are three adaptogenic ingredients in the BEAUTY x BRAINS™ blend: maca, lion’s mane mushroom, and goji berries.
