A BEAUTY expert has revealed the “underdog” of the food world that reverses ageing and leaves your skin glowing.
Star Khechara – pioneer of the “Facelift Diet” – can often be seen urging people to consume more fruit as she believes it is “the number one food” to make you look years younger.
The 48-year-old is often mistaken for someone 20 years her junior thanks to her passion for fruit – and she helps others to do the same with her Age Hacker platform.
The anti-ageing expert insists that our skin and hair need to be fed internally, not by applying expensive products.
And according to Star, a delicious smoothie that’s “sunshine in a glass” will help you achieve that youthful glow.
Star says: “Oranges and mangoes are two of my favourite beauty foods, between them I reach over 100% of many important beauty nutrients including collagen boosting vitamin C, sun protective beta carotene and epigenetic modifying folates.
“And – surprisingly to anyone who thinks fruit is ‘just sugar’ – it contains 19g of protein.
“This is liquid sunshine in a glass! I can feel it making my me glow on the inside and the outside.
“As you know my ‘thing’ is that true youthful beauty and glowing skin-.health is the side-effect of vibrant health at the cellular level.
“Beauty isn’t skin deep, its cell deep. Feed your cells with nature’s ultimate beauty food: FRUIT.”
Her beauty smoothie consists of two frozen mangoes, one stalk of celery, the juice of 10 oranges plus a turmeric root and a teaspoon of sea buckthorn.
Star is the pioneer of the Facelift Diet.
“The Facelift Diet is basically a fruit-centric and plant-based anti-ageing diets,” she explained to Fabulous earlier this year.
“It’s about eating anti-ageing foods in abundance.
“It’s not restrictive or calorie counting or anything.
“Certain foods have rejuvenating properties and you can slow down ageing with your diet.”
And revealing her shopping list essential from the supermarket, she said: “It’s all about fruit.
“If you take anything away from this, eat more fruit.
“There are things in fruit that aren’t even in vegetables.
“It’s the underdog of food groups.”
In just one week, Star will eat at least eight limes, 10 pears, three bunches of bananas and four avocados.
She’ll also munch around 20 apples and oranges
20 apples and oranges, three watermelons, four tubs of white grapes, eight mangoes and five pineapples.
She’ll round off her fruity duiet with two cucumbers, three limes, five plums, a melon, and two bunches of red grapes.
