cooking tips: WRAP UP 2012, COLLAGEN IS VITAL.

wrap up 2012 and unwind

FUN, FASHION, FOOD, flowers- NO WORK, NO SERIOUS COOKING

A food and beverage blog like mine, is a site centered around foods and drinks… health benefits if any, will be a priority bonus.

A wrap up recipe for year end 2012 would be almost perfect…. .. But for me, end of year means a time to relax and stay cool… no hassle, no cooking, just eat out, socialize and keep up with friends- until next year end …

I also spend some time looking at women mags and fashion… like those designer clothes and accessories… and the humor that spice them all… some fun and stress free moments will be a real treat, like anti oxidant is to the body cells.

The way is, to strife for quality life –

hence the need for excellent health, mental alertness and slowing of the aging process.

My way is, i must ensure my collagen intake is sufficient-

and go for the five color fruits.

Collagen cannot be produced without vitamin C. Over 90% of the collagen in the body, however, is of type one = ie: skin, tendon, vascular ligature, organs, bone (main component of the organic part of bone)

Collagen nourishes the skin from the inside, strengthen skin tissues, prevents drying and reduce wrinkles. Also for cartilage, bases of cell basement membrane (eye lens, kidney) and cell surfaces ( hair and placenta) – to name a few of the 28 types of collagen.

The ratio of veggies (may include fruits) to other foods is 4:1
