In an enlightening interview with nutritionist and chef Serena Poon, she underscores the significance of oral health in her daily routine. Poon starts her day by swishing coconut oil in her mouth, a practice known to enhance oral microbiota. Following this, she indulges in a cup of hot lemon water, which not only refreshes but also provides a boost of vitamin C. After brushing her teeth, Poon enjoys yogurt infused with polyphenols, notably resveratrol, recognized for its health benefits. Subsequently, she sips on matcha tea, another source rich in polyphenols known for potential cancer prevention properties.
Additionally, in Asian cultures, a popular skincare regimen called “morning C, evening A” prioritizes the use of vitamin C-based skincare products during the day and vitamin A-based products at night. Interestingly, this routine is complemented by a preference for lemon water due to its vitamin C content, showcasing a holistic approach to wellness and beauty.
