Simon Cowell is often in the media because of his high profile appearances on various talent shows, but he has been in the press recently because of his unique approach to staying young. We know that he has removed some of his wrinkles through Botox and had his teeth whitened, but we now know that he is a big fan of smoothies as well.
He has admitted that he drinks a healthy smoothie every day to fight the effects of aging and stay healthy, and it appears to be working because he looks better now than he did ten years ago. It is not just any smoothie though. Rather than containing a mixture of basic fruits, such as apples, oranges, bananas and pineapples, this one is made from exotic berries that are packed with oodles of vitamins and minerals.
So what are the ingredients of this super-smoothie?
Well it contains various purees including apple puree, blueberry puree and strawberry puree. It also contains grape juice. However it is the exotic berries that deliver the most anti-aging and health benefits.
One of these berries is the acerola berry, which contains around thirty times more vitamin C than oranges and also boasts several other vitamins. Another berry used is the chokeberry (also known as aronia). This one is found in eastern parts of North America and it too is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Finally we have the lingonberry (or cowberry as it's known in some parts of the world). This berry contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium nutrients and not only does it contain Omega 3 fatty acids, but it is also packed with vitamin C and various B vitamins.
So it is clear to see why this combination of ingredients could help provide you with many health and anti-aging benefits, and why Simon Cowell drinks this particular smoothie every day. The only drawback is that it is hard to drink this same smoothie yourself because the ingredients are quite hard to come by. It is alright for Simon Cowell because he can afford to import all of these ingredients, but many of us do not have this luxury.
Nevertheless there are plenty of fruits, vegetables and berries that are readily available and packed with similar anti-aging qualities. So by combining some of these ingredients you can quite easily create your own smoothie and fight off the effects of aging just like Simon Cowell.
