Kareena Kapoor’s glow is undeniable. Even when she’s running around the city with Karisma in a messy, casual bun, she has that 1000-watt glow. I have often wondered whether it’s genetics or self-care. So I did some digging around and realised that it had something to do with a drink she guzzles up frequently; something even found in the Himalayas now.
You probably already know what I’m talking about. But if you don’t, you might want to check it out.
What Does Kareena’s A.B.C Drink Contain?
The A B.C drink is a detoxifying, immunity-boosting drink that contains one fruit and 2 vegetables; both of which are full of nutrients and antioxidants. It is also Kareena’s go-to drink. It contains:
- apples
- beetroots
- carrots
Apart from boosting your immunity, maintaining the health of your heart, and improving digestion, the A.B.C. drink is rich in antioxidants and vitamins C, K, E, A, and B that help diminish lines and wrinkles and increase the elasticity of your skin. Let’s go over its benefits in detail.
Beetroots
Beetroots flush all the toxins right out of your system; clearing your body from the inside out. This gives a glow to the skin; further amplified by the vegetable’s ability to hydrate and nourish. Since beets are rich in Vitamin C and lycopene, they brighten your skin, reduce excess oils on the face, and fight free radicals that age your cells. This prevents flare-ups in the process. They can even soothe redness and irritation effectively because of their anti-inflammatory properties.
Apples
Apples, too, are extremely hydrating in nature. Since they contain vitamins A, B complex, and C, they can enhance your skin tone and texture and make you glow naturally. The presence of antioxidants can even fight signs of ageing and fade pigmentation and spots.
Carrots
Carrots contain potassium that can hydrate and nourish the skin. That’s why they’re ideal for treating dryness and flakiness. The beta-carotene in them can even fade pigmentation, spots, and scars in the process. They’re even packed with anti-inflammatory properties that soothe infections, redness, and wounds. Since carrots contain calcium, sodium as well as fibre, they can flush all the toxins out of your system and fight acne. Other than that, vitamins A and C can stimulate the production of collagen for firm, tight skin.
I know it probably doesn’t taste the best. But if it promises to make my skin glow like Bebo’s, I’m willing to work with it.
