Notes

Leave the skin on the potatoes as they contain fiber and other nutrients. Potatoes strengthen the immune system and protect the skin. Purple and yellow potatoes contain anti-oxidants that can reduce inflammation. 

Green beans contain Vitamin C which is an anti-oxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress. 

Cilantro is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It is beneficial in treating skin conditions that stem from underlying inflammation.
