Look Good, Feel Good

I made this blog hoping that it would inspire many of you to dress modestly while still being trendy. But today I wanted to make a blog post about healthy eating because I've decided to start eating healthier. Its been really hard but I know I can do it and so can you. (I still sneak some cookies and sweets every once in a while ;) Here is a list of delicious fruits and vegetables that I have been loving lately and also how it helps the body.

1. Mangos 

• Cools down the body and prevents harm to the body
• Have great amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A which keeps your immune system healthy and strong
• Clears clogged pores and eliminates pimples
• Promotes good eye sight and prevents dry eyes
• Prevents cancer

2. Kiwi

4. Bananas

• Prevents muscle cramps before a workout

Sometimes I make a fruit salad and put all the fruits together or mix and match and make a fruit smoothy with frozen fruit.

5. Carrots

• Improves vision
• Vitamin A and antioxidants protects the skin from sun damage
