Slow blood flow and metabolism can lead to skin problems such as dullness, dryness, and rough skin. A " Boost Salad " made with ingredients high in antioxidants is a great way to incorporate this into your diet during this time.

Savory deep-fried saury is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which suppress inflammation and support blood flow. Watercress 's beta-carotene and vitamin C protect the skin from oxidation, while pomegranate 's polyphenols mimic female hormones, giving skin firmness and radiance.
