my new anti-aging secret ;-)
What is it? Read on!
I know that women have a harsher time accepting the changes in their body as they grow older. There’s hot flashes, Dry Skin, mood swings, sagging of strategic body parts, etc, etc. These are all natural changes, yes, and you can actually do a lot of NATURAL stuff too to counteract these changes. My latest anti-aging secret, especially in fighting skin problems is GAC fruit. That’s the one pictured above. Yeah I know, the fruit’s name is kinda weird. Sort of an acronym but it really doesn’t mean anything, it’s just GAC. Hehe! Gac is a Southeast Asian fruit, a relative of the bitter gourd or ampalaya. It’s scientific name is Momordia Cochinchinemis Spreng.
Gac is also known as Baby Jackfruit, Spiny Bitter Gourd, Sweet Gourd, or Cochinchin Gourd. It is high in lycopene content – contains up to 70 times the lycopene found in tomatoes! It has also been found to contain up to 10 times the beta-carotene in carrots or sweet potatoes. The carotenoids present in Gac are bound to long-chain fatty acids so the carotenoids are said to be in a more bioavailable form. Meaning, our body can easily use it. Given that Gac is high in carotenoids and other antioxidants, it would make a great skin protector and assist in the skin’s cellular rejuvenation process. The result? A younger-looking, healthy skin! Who wouldn’t want that?? Certainly not I! =)
