Park 2 of Flawless Skin Secrets!! Eating Your SKin Healthy!
Taking care of your skin involves more than just outer skin care. It involves feeding your skin from within. It is important to keep the body hydrated with six to eight glasses of water a day. If you live in a polluted climate, buy spring water. Stay away from caffeine. Try to eat natural uncooked vegetables and fruits in your diet as well as fish, eggs, seeds and nuts. Eliminate processed sugars and starches. Reduce your salt intake. Go for the whole grains found in brown rice and healthy organic flours such as kamut, barley, flaxseed, spelt, soy, and Brewer’s Yeast. Exercise tones and tightens the skin. Endermologie (a machine that exercises the skin), massage, and water therapy, all aid to skin appeal. For glowing skin, sleep is important as well as vitamins. Vitamins and minerals known to help the skin include the following: Vitamin A, B Complex, C, E, Calcium/Magnesium, Selenium, Chromium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q 10, L-Glutamine, Omega-3, omega 6 oils, folic acid, Pycnogenol, and fish oil. Dermatologist, Dr. Margaret Waisman, feels that skin care truly does start from within.

Though I agree with the author's comment regarding Healthy Skin Starts From Within, if one is eating enough food with high water content than eight glasses of water is not necessary. One's diet should center around fresh fruit and juices, whole grains, and vegetables, and drinking fluid with your meal dilutes digestive juices and impairs digestion; thus, wait 1/2 hour before or after eating. Also, cold bevs numb the stomach's acid-producing glands which inhibits digestion for several hours. Also, be aware of food combining - eating starches and proteins together neutralizes digestive juices and will take much longer to digest. That said, I make exceptions when I drink wine with my meal, and it does not seem to affect me negatively.
