How to eat well to look younger

If you thought, anti-ageing was all about skin creams and expensive treatments, get set for a paradigm shift. Rushina Munshaw-Ghildiyal, consultant at Godrej Natures Basket, believes that the more effective process of anti-ageing starts from within.



“Health is dependent on what we eat. We get wrinkles and look older because we don’t sleep well and in turn, our appetite goes for a toss,” says Ghildiyal, who has devised some fun-to-make anti-ageing recipes.


“The recipes are created using important ingredients that are known for their anti-oxidant properties while some are mood-lifters and help you relax,” she adds, stressing on how we easily become lazy when it comes to taking care of our body.u00a0
