Health and happiness comes first. But why not reap in the rewards of a healthy lifestyle by combining foods with vitamins and minerals to incorporate the benefits that will help you look more beautiful?

I just made this Beauty Boost Juice and fell in love with the concept of beautifying through a super delicious juice! Yes, do you not agree? This is all thanks to incorporating a few amazing ingredients that boost the body’s ability to radiate, heal and give you a boost through a healthy looking skin, hair and nails.

The secret is in Chlorophyll and Silicon; natural minerals found in certain foods that promote healthy blood ; when our blood is healthy – we glow! ;)

Chlorophyll is found is most dark green vegetables for example collard greens. Chlorophyll adds oxygen to the blood – it’s quite an amazing superfood. Here, collard greens bring this mineral into action with a very mild taste that does not overpower this juice.

Silicon is found in the skin of organic cucumbers and horsetail herb or tea and silicon promotes healthy blood vessel walls – see below for even more info.

In this juice, I mixed these foods rich in these vital beautifying minerals together. I incorporated these minerals; chlorophyll and silicon along with fruits and veggies that naturally detoxify and purify the body; such as green apples, cucumber and green collards.   

Green apples add a slight sweet kick and also provide lots of Vitamin C which is essential for building new cells. Basically this beautifying juice is amazing to the body and tastes delicious.

Health Benefits of Silicon

Silicon possesses many special healing properties in the body. It is present everywhere in the body. In bones, cartilage, hair, blood vessels, skin, teeth, tendons, nails. Silicon is abundant in babies when they are just born. When we are born our body has a large supply of silicon and low calcium. Generally the body is full of youth when there is more silicon in relation to calcium present. Many studies have shown that the ratio of silicon to calcium is a biological indicator of youth.

Silicon helps direct the blood electricity, helping keep the body warm. In the bones silica is found in areas of growth, due to the fact that silicon has an amazing ability to transform into calcium in the body. Foods high on silicon has been proven to enhance mineral bone density, leading to beautiful long hair, healthy bones, and healthy tech and jaw formation.

Silicon is found in highest concentration in hair and nails. A study that took place in 1993 found that the internal and external use of silicon would improve the condition of aging, nails hair and skin in women.

Silicon improves the texture and increases the thickness of the skin, helps improve wrinkles, and gives your skin, nails and hair a healthier appearance. Silicon plays a major role in collagen formation; some people refer to collagen as the glue that holds the body together.

 

There are lots of other vitamins and minerals that boost the vibrancy of your skin, hair and health of your nails. At the same time, internally promoting a health boost to your immune system and overall wellbeing.
