To look after yourself naturally, you need to eat well, starting with a varied and balanced diet. The idea is to create colourful plates rich in plant foods, quality proteins and healthy fats, and to stay well hydrated. For orange-peel skin, you can also discover our time-tested home remedies in another article.
A closer look at these everyday natural foods
Lean proteins
They have a place at every meal, alternating animal and plant sources. To cook them simply, try steaming, cooking en papillote or pan-frying with a drizzle of oil. Where to find them: poultry, fish, eggs and legumes (lentils, peas or dried beans), as well as tofu.
Omega-3s
They’re fatty acids found in food, so try varying oily fish and vegetable oils over the week. Where to find them: fish (mackerel, sardine, herring or salmon), as well as rapeseed oil and walnut oil.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are compounds naturally found in many plants; some of them, such as anthocyanins, give red berries their colour. A colourful plate often contains several of them. Where to find them: red berries (blueberries, blackcurrants, grapes…), carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, apples, olives, lemons, as well as green tea.
Vitamin C
It is mainly found in fresh fruit and vegetables. As it is sensitive to heat, eat them raw where possible or cook them for a short time. Where to find it: lemons and oranges, of course, but also acerola, guava, kiwi, blackcurrants, strawberries, cherries, papaya, mango, green cabbage, parsley, broccoli and spinach.
Magnesium: it’s a mineral found in many minimally processed foods, such as nuts and whole grains. Where to find it: in periwinkles, cashew nuts, almonds, buckwheat, brown rice…
What to drink every day?
Water
It remains the go-to drink every day. If you like sparkling water, check the label, as some are higher in sodium than others. Stick to still water and drink at least 1.5 litres per day, little and often throughout the day.
It can be drunk hot or iced, plain or flavoured, and makes a nice break in the day. As it contains caffeine, it’s best to avoid it in the evening if you’re sensitive to it.
Cherry stems
It’s a traditional infusion made from dried cherry stems. It is drunk hot or warm. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before drinking it regularly.
The right habits for every day
Self-massage is a moment to set aside for yourself regularly. On clean skin, make circular movements with a massage oil, working up from the ankles to the thighs, without forcing.
These simple, natural tips fit easily into your routine, alongside a varied and balanced diet: the most important thing is to follow them consistently.

How can you put together a balanced plate every day?
Fill half your plate with vegetables, one quarter with protein (poultry, fish, eggs, legumes or tofu) and one quarter with starchy foods, preferably wholegrain. Add a drizzle of rapeseed or walnut oil, and have a piece of fruit for dessert.
Can green tea be drunk at any time of day?
It’s nice to drink in the morning or afternoon. As it contains caffeine, it’s best to avoid it in the evening if you’re sensitive to it, and not to make it your only drink: still water remains the go-to.
How do you give yourself a leg massage?
On clean skin, apply a massage oil and make circular movements, working up from the ankles to the thighs. Take your time and don’t force it: the massage should remain pleasant.
