Ingredient & Benefit Breakdown
Kabocha Pumpkin
Pumpkin is beneficial for skin health due to its rich nutrient profile, including antioxidants like beta-carotene that reduce signs of aging. Its high water content hydrates the skin, while natural enzymes gently exfoliate for a smoother complexion. Additionally, vitamins A, C, and E nourish the skin and support healing, making pumpkin an excellent choice for a radiant appearance.
Chinese Yam (Wai Shan)
Chinese yam is known for its digestive benefits and is a valuable source of vitamins B and C, which support skin health and overall vitality. It helps maintain hormonal balance, which can improve skin conditions and reduce inflammation. The prebiotics in Chinese yam also promote gut health, contributing to clearer skin and better nutrient absorption.
Millet
Millet, a nutrient-dense whole grain, is rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. It supports digestive health, helps maintain stable energy levels, and is gentle on the stomach. Millet is also beneficial for skin health, as it contains antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and aid in maintaining skin hydration.
