A lifestyle and fashion blogger has revealed the ultimate dish she claims stops her from ageing. Tee, from Toronto, Canada, hailed the Chinese Tong Sui soup as a 'miracle food' for looking young, and it’s soup-er easy to make.
In a video uploaded to her TikTok page, @Thatsotee, she spoke about the health benefits of Tong Sui, which uses a number of dried items, including snow fungus. The one-minute-and-fourteen-second video details her “beauty must” for a “youthful complexion”.
She explains: “I’m going to share with you a beauty must on how I maintain a clear, healthy, youthful complexion in my forties. This baby (snow fungus) is going to hydrate you from the inside out and to plump and firm up your skin.
"In China they call this the ‘Fountain of youth’, it’s called snow fungus, also known as white jelly mushroom, tremella mushroom, snow ear or white fungus." She added: “If you’re on that anti-ageing kick and you want plump, youthful skin this is full of plant collagen, and it also induces collagen production since it contains 17 amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen synthesis."
As well as being good for your skin, snow fungus also has a number of benefits for managing diabetes, reducing cholesterol, and relieving constipation. Tee said: “I like to call this the ultimate anti-ageing soup. I will make a big batch of this at the beginning of the week, ‘cause I like to have this for breakfast.”
