Here are 8 Steps to Having Healthier and More Radiant Skin:
(1) Your Sleeping Beauty Skin – You need to get good quality sleep, to not only reduce any bags under your eyes for example, but also to help your skin recover and regenerate properly on a nightly basis. An optimum 7-9 hours.
(2) Your Skin Needs the RIGHT Nutrients – especially good fats and oils, zinc and other anti-oxidants. You can take it as a supplement or get it from your food directly. Foods high in zinc are oysters, shellfish and brewer’s yeast. Foods high in good fats are avocados, fish, nuts and seeds. Vitamin C and Flavenoids foods are citrus, tomatoes, many fruits and vegetables have this vital nutrient in them.
(3) Radiant Diet = Radiant Skin – Balance your diet with quality proteins, good fats and fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and seeds. Fruits and Vegetables are filled with essential nutrients to help keep your skin healthy and beautiful.
(4) Good Fats & Oils for the Skin – I can’t overemphasize how crucial taking sufficient amounts of a high quality fish oil is to help keep your skin healthy. Make sure it comes from a reputable supplier. Some companies actually have rancid oils in their products and to disguise the rancidity will often deodorize them so you can’t detect any lack in quality. Make sure you don’t buy cheap brands. Any supplement or food product containing oil needs to be of thehighest quality otherwise it’s potentially very toxic to your body.
(5) Skin Stress Effect – Counteract stress’s effect by taking a good antioxidant formula which will include vitamins C, E, selenium, and COQ10. Antioxidants give your body the protection and your cells the oxygen they need to not only function, but to age well. They help to increase energy on a cellular level, improving your body’s ability to handle stress. Vitamins C, E and Alpha Lipoic Acid are all very important nutrients that help our cells stay healthy despite the daily potential of free radicals damage, which oxidizes (ages) our cells and tissues.
(6) Keeping Skin Hydrated – It can be easy to forget drink enough water. Drinking pure, clean water versus teas, coffee, sodas and juices is important not only to hydrate the skin and reduce heat in the body, but also to lubricate your tissues as well. Drink at least eight glasses of water daily (64 ounces). When it’s hotter outside or you’re exercising you may be perspiring more, I recommend drinking even more (80 – 90 oz) but don’t drink your daily amount all at once – sip throughout the day.
(7) Get the Toxins Out – A proper detoxification program helps your body function better and your skin look more beautiful – think of it as an oil change or tune up.
(8) Foods For Your Skin – Choose blueberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries, boysenberries – these are powerhousese filled vitamin C. Berries, by their very nature, have skins that protect the vulnerable fruitinside from damage, sun radiation and infection, which gives them incredible antioxidant protection.
So remember – beautiful skin always starts from the inside. Protect it and keep it radiant and healthy.
