Diet therapy for rough and dark neck

According to Chinese medicine, if the heart is deficient in blood, the front of the neck will be pale and dull; if the liver is stagnant, the skin on the back of the neck will be dark and blue; if the spleen is deficient in blood, the skin on the neck will be dark and rough. Because the skin on the neck lacks a thicker fat layer than the face, and its blood circulation is poor, it is easy for the skin on the neck to become rough, dark, and loose, forming wrinkles. However, with effective diet therapy, the rough and dark neck can be transformed into a charming jade neck. Nucleic acid is the preferred nutritional food. Japanese scientists have found that if women take 800 mg of nucleic acid every day, their neck skin will become white, tender and attractive after one month. Foods rich in nucleic acids include: fish, shrimp, yeast, liver, mushrooms, fungus, pollen, etc. Rice porridge is a traditional food for a beautiful neck.
