The search for ''eternal youth'' continues....Another reveal

Youthful: Susan claims her raw food diet is the reason for her fresh-faced looks and healthy body 

29-year old Susan Reynolds is always being mistaken for a teenager thanks to special diet that maker her look younger.
Existing on a spartan diet of nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables might not sound particularly appetising, but Susan Reynolds, 29, says it keeps her looking so young, she is regularly mistaken for a 16-year-old.
Susan, who hails from Edinburgh, last ate cooked food seven years ago and now consumes nothing but uncooked fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts, and beans.
The slim 29-year-old eats dozens of portions of fruit and vegetables every day, and has even created a number of recipes, including a cold soup made from a bag of spinach, a large bunch of herbs and an entire lettuce, to make meals more interesting.

Business: Susan now runs a company offering retreats introducing the raw food diet to health conscious people Tasty: Susan begins her day with a litre of green juice made from blended spinach, a lettuce and herbs

SUSAN'S TYPICAL DAY

5am: Wake up, drink 750ml lemon water
6:30am to 8:30am: Yoga practice.
10am: A litre of green juice made from
blending a whole lettuce, a bag of
spinach and bunch of herbs.

11am to 4pm: Snacks, including whole fruit (figs, mangoes, berries etc.), raw chocolate, green juice, and superfoods such as bee pollen and berries.
6pm: Large salad and/or green soups, or another raw dish created from fruit and vegetables, soaked nuts and seeds depending on what she feels she needs that day.

'The benefits include [mental] clarity, positivity, health, energy, radiance and the ability to make choices.
'Other things people have commented on include smelling good, great skin and youthfulness. People say I look good for my age. I'm also emotionally balanced and happy.'
And Susan has now turned her passion for raw food into a business named Twist and Sprout, which offers healthy retreats where participants are taught how to introduce the raw food diet to their own lives.

  2. I once did for 6 weeks.its hard at first but after a while your body gets used to it. Your body even repulses cooked food especially fried food. But its a good therapy for a glowing skin.
