BEAUTY RECIPES
Lots of VEGGITABLES and some carbohydrates everyday, sometimes animal food.
Seasonal, local, and wholefood.
There is a reason why we have herbs or green leaves in spring.
It is the best season for both you and the nature. Their power is the biggest and you can gain them the most.
In this way, the law of nature is very simple.
One more thing, most of nutrients are contained just inside of skins of vegetables, so
you'd better take them with skins=the idea of wholefoods.

Asparagus, cabbage, greenpeas, field peas, fava beans, cerely, bamboo shoot, onion, chinese chive, butterbur, lettuce and so on...
