Natural Beauty Treatment - How the Thai Diet Can Help You Glow

By Lena Morgan
You've got to envy the Thais. They seem to be always snacking on one of the world's tastiest cuisines and yet they're all maddeningly rail thin with glowing skin and shining hair. So what's the secret?

Well the food actually has a lot to do with it. Brimming with the goodness of herbs, most Thai meals are low in fat and replete with vegetables and fish. But the wonderful thing is that it doesn't taste like 'health food'.

Through a judicious blend of fresh ingredients, a dazzling harmony of flavors, and a special magic all of its own, Thai food is rightly regarded as one of the world's most flavorsome. So you don't have to give up flavor for health. Healthy food doesn't mean dull food.

In fact, in Thai traditional medicine, food is one of the three pillars along with herbs and meditation. Visit a traditional Thai practitioner and the first thing he'll ask about is your diet. And if he doesn't think it's up to scratch, your first prescription will be a change in what you eat.

So it's healthy but how can Thai food make you glow?

Beauty hinges on efficient function of the inner systems such as digestion, absorption and elimination. These in turn depend on diet and taking care of the digestive system. So before you begin working on your hair and skin, you have to tone up your inner systems. In the Thai system beauty and vitality really do come from within.

The fact is that the Thai diet is a veritable detox on a plate. It's a continual detox as the powerhouse herbs in every Thai meal work to ramp up your digestion and cleanse your entire system on a daily basis. And when you're clean inside, it tends to show outside in the form of clear skin and shining hair.

Other factors that give Thai food such powerful rejuvenating properties incudes the fact that only fresh ingredients wherever possible. Fresh herbs and vegetables are rich in enzymes which can aid digestion. Plus the Thai diet is high in fresh fruits and vegetables which are loaded with vitamins (especially the anti-oxidant rich vitamins A, C and E) and minerals. All of these are a boon for the hair and skin.
