Beauty is no longer perceived as a mere indulgence overloaded with skincare and makeup products. Rather, it is a form of self-care. Nourishing, supporting, and loving yourself is what makes you truly beautiful. Here are a few food choices to light you up from within:

Sattu

This traditional energy drink is made of roasted bengal gram and barley, which provide three major minerals – calcium, magnesium, phosphorus – all required for strong bones, and plant-based proteins for lean muscle building. Drink it within 30 minutes of your workout or as an evening tea replacer.

Best to: Boost energy and strength

Whole eggs

If you make this simple food, rich in essential amino acids, biotin, zinc and selenium, part of your daily meal plan, you do not need to worry about buying expensive, chunky supplement pills meant for healthy hair, skin and nails.

Wheatgrass

Packed with ACE power (Vitamin A, C and E), it is a perfect detoxifier, cleanser and healer. This helps clear acne and gives an even skin tone. Drink on an empty stomach or mix 1 tsp wheatgrass powder with a glass of water.

Best for: Clear skin

Aloe vera

This low maintenance succulent hydrates dry skin, heals acne, speeds up wound healing and even soothes burns. Have 1 tsp of aloe vera gel on an empty stomach or apply as a mask for 15 minutes.

Best for: Lustrous skin and hair

Potatoes
