At SHIGETA PARIS, we believe that taking care of your inner health is just as crucial as outer beauty. In fact, the two are closely linked.
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a fresh salad in the sun! To reinforce the benefits of the roll-on Sweet Dreams Relax, adopt a healthy diet and favor anti-stress foods like onion, parsley and tomato. These ingredients not only add a burst of flavor to your summer salad, they’re also full of benefits to help you relax and reduce stress.
Onion: thanks to its quercetin content and antioxidant properties, it helps reduce stress by regulating cortisol (stress hormone) levels and promoting relaxation.
Parsley: representing one of the richest plants in antioxidant vitamins and minerals (calcium, sulfur, potassium, iron and magnesium), it stimulates the body.
Tomato: with its content of the effective antioxidants lycopene and beta-carotene, it’s a great stimulant.
You’ll find these three ingredients in our delicious recipe for red quinoa with curry, perfect for feeling calmer after stressful periods.

- 1 handful red quinoa
