Chapter 21 Korea: Plastic Surgery vs Natural Maintenance
Beauty is not only dependent on plastic surgery, internal maintenance is the key

When it comes to Korean beauty, many people's first reaction is plastic surgery.Korean women pursue beauty, and most of them have exquisite appearance and graceful figure, but this is not only based on plastic surgery, but more importantly, they focus on internal maintenance, and the role of food in maintaining appearance. You can see it here.

Three reasons why food beauty is popular:
1. No toxic side effects.Generally speaking, cosmetics contain a large number of chemical ingredients, which can easily cause adverse reactions.Using flowers and ingredients for beauty can not only avoid allergies caused by beauty products, but also is easy to learn, cheap and has no side effects.

2. Treat the root cause.Food achieves beauty effects by regulating the balance of yin and yang in the human body, soothing viscera, and maintaining qi and blood.Only when a person takes in enough nutrients from food can the viscera be smooth, the qi and blood vigorous, the skin smooth, tender and elastic, and the complexion ruddy.Cosmetics achieve the effect of beauty by "covering up".

3. Food beauty benefits a lifetime.Although food beauty cannot be seen immediately, it can benefit people for a lifetime in the long run, because everyone can't refuse aging, it's just a matter of sooner or later, and food can make aging come later.Cosmetics are different. They can help us for a while, but not for a lifetime.
