I have mentioned many times in my blog. If food scientists just screening all locally grown fruits to look for their functions in health, energy, controlling disease, active ingredients, nutrition contents, etc. we definitely can promote our local fruits. We can encourage people in rural areas to grow fruits t small scales with similar standards and manage by the government agencies. We need creative government officers. We cannot produce cut and paste graduates.

Among our list of foods that improve our looks are guavas. Guavas are high in antioxidants to counteract the free radicals that cause skin damage and will leave you looking prematurely old. You actually don't even need to eat it if you aren't a fan. Just squish the flesh into submission and rub it on your skin -- but wash it off before you head out on the town. They're also rich in vitamin C, containing five times as much as the humble orange. To top it off, they have a whole host of other health benefits. The best way to eat these bad boys is either in a fruit salad or straight up with a good squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Our purple pals (or yellow, rainbow or even pink) are a strong ally in the fight to keeping up our appearances. Beetroot contains betaine, which is a bioactive agent that helps with the breakdown of fats. Their juice also contains a form of chlorine that aids digestion by doing the same thing. Now, beet juice might not be the most appealing thing, but you should still be able to get a fair whack of beet goodness from eating them in their natural state.

Consider adding a tablespoon or two of beetroot juice to your salad. If you haven't eaten beets before, there is a remarkable side effect, but we'll leave you to discover that on your own. http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/list/201304/8-foods-will-make-you-look-better#5
