Swiss line Force Vitale Aqua-Vitale Gel-Serum

A famous utter from Gwyneth Paltrow on beauty “is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” To be comfortable in your skin is knowing and accepting who you are, and having the confidence to feel good about yourself.

Extending the important feeling of being comfortable in your own skin from within to the surface, Swiss line has created a serum that radiates skin beauty and feels just so comfortable on your skin.

The Swiss line Force Vitale Aqua-Vitale Gel-Serum is an oil-free and refreshing serum that comforts the skin so that a healthy glow can be revealed. While delivering hydration (aqua) and energy (vitale), the serum efficaciously results in the skin’s surface feeling “cleansed” and “plumped” without any heaviness or greasy residue, as well as an illusion of smoothness with less visible pores.

If you thought eating potatoes will make you fat? You are so wrong! In fact, naturally nutrient-dense, one medium-sized (148gram) potato provides just 110 calories. There is no fat, no sodium, no cholesterol and contains 30% of your daily value of vitamin C. In fact, potatoes can be part of a weight management regimen. As a good carbohydrates food, potatoes fill you up, not out. Some research suggests that consuming carbohydrate along with protein post exercise may aid in recovery. A medium-size (148gm) U.S. fresh potato has 26 grams of carbohydrate plus 3 grams of complete protein. Furthermore, potatoes are one of the most filling foods available that can stave off hunger as well or better than other common sides.

Potato has more potassium, a key mineral that the body relies on heavily to function properly than a banana. U.S. processors use state-of-the-art technology to meet high industry standards. The finished product is instantly quick-frozen to lock in the flavour and nutrients of fresh potatoes.

Whether you lead an active lifestyle or not, there’s a U.S. potato option to fuel your body and brain throughout the day.

You can bake, mash or boil the U.S. potatoes and pair with any protein.
