Saffron as a Fountain of Youth
We all want to remain young and fit for as long as possible – but the perfect Fountain of Youth has unfortunately not yet been discovered. However, luckily there are some ways to delay the aging process: a healthy and relaxed lifestyle – not too much stress and rushing around, plus a healthy diet – can really make a big difference.
Saffron too can be used as a rejuvenating elixir: there is good reason for this luxurious spice being used in traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and naturopathy as an effective health product. Centuries-old knowledge about the positive effects of saffron is still successfully applied today to maintain health and youth. Even in the Ancient World, saffron was used by the Greeks and Romans for problems with eyes and stomach, “women’s troubles”, infections and more. In the Middle Ages, rich citizens were treated with saffron.
Even nowadays, saffron is still an effective tool to help us remain fit long-term, and look that way too: because saffron lifts the mood and can even help with depression. Happy, carefree folks are known to live longer and appear younger. Anger and worry lines that make us look older? No, thanks! In Ayurveda, the consumption of saffron, almonds and pistachios is recommended for skin renewal – that way your complexion stays young and firm.
Moreover, the golden yellow spice also has a stimulating affect, so that one might become more motivated to get out into the fresh air and exercise – a true booster for youthfulness because the cells are better supplied with oxygen and the musculoskeletal system remains supple. Old age aches and pains can thus be delayed or even be prevented. In addition, saffron stimulates perspiration and urinary tract elimination, so that toxins can be sweated or cleared out; it cleanses us from the inside, helping us to stay younger for longer.
Saffron contains the minerals calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron, vitamin C and a little vitamin A – natural substances that help ward off the aging process. Digestion is stimulated by the consumption of saffron, so that it is less of a strain on the body and so it stays youthful, carefree and fit for longer.
