These good-for-you ingredient­s are the ultimate finds for a better body

ENHANCE SKIN TONE

A suntan helps to accentuate your body’s best bits, and you can actually eat your way to a slight golden glow. Orange-hued fruits and vegetables like carrots, mangoes and sweet potatoes are all rich in beta carotene, an antioxidan­t that enhances the skin’s colour and texture.

SHRINK YOUR BELLY

Prebiotic and probiotic foods like onions, oats, garlic and Greek yoghurt help to maintain a healthy population of good gut bacteria, which wards off digestion issues and promotes a flatter tummy.

BLAST CELLULITE

Cellulite always looks worse on dehydrated skin. Healthy fats like those found in raw nuts, seeds and avocado hydrate skin cells, help to smooth out any uneven skin texture and dimpling.

SUPERCHARG­E YOUR METABOLISM

Looking for a metabolism kickstart? Include spices such as chilli and turmeric in your diet, as they will stimulate receptors in the body to burn off calories instead of storing them as fat.
