Every time we go into a department, drug or grocery store we see shelves and shelves of products claiming to be the fountain of youth, the cure for dry skin, oily skin,\u00a0acne<\/a>\u00a0and world hunger. Add to this the products formulated by pharmeceutical companies and we come down to one, simple question. How do you choose?<\/p>\n

While I am one of the women who tends to experiment with different\u00a0skin care<\/a>\u00a0products and tricks, there are a few things I know to be true that I thought I\u2019d pass on.<\/p>\n

Nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Drink PLENTY of water. I know, I know, you\u2019ve heard it before, but it\u2019s true. Water hydrates the skin as well as the body and essential for good health as well as beauty.<\/p>\n

* Eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Substitute snacks of cookies or chips with an apple, fresh broccoli sprinkled with Olive Oil and lemon, a spinach salad, etc\u2026you get the idea.<\/p>\n

* Are you a coffee drinker? I LOVE coffee and when I was first told to do this I thought \u201cOh, no way, I can\u2019t\u201d. But, I could and I did – it was actually easy! Substitute half of your cups of coffee for cups of\u00a0Green Tea<\/a>\u00a0(I sweeten mine with a bit of honey).\u00a0Green Tea<\/a>\u00a0has too many health benefits to list, including good stuff for your skin – AND, it has some caffeine, so you won\u2019t get the\u00a0headaches<\/a>\u00a0that can be associated with caffeine withdrawal.<\/p>\n

* Cut down on anything with high\u00a0saturated fat<\/a>\u00a0(fried foods!) and refined flours and eat more fish (especially Alaskan Salmon), turkey and chicken. Diet IS linked to\u00a0acne<\/a>\u00a0– no matter what the \u2018experts\u2019 may say. Want to know more? Check out\u00a0Dr. Perricone\u2019s site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n

* I have one tip here –\u00a0YOGA<\/a>!\u00a0Yoga<\/a>\u2019s health benefits are enormous, but where it applies to our looks includes lowering stress, boosting metabolism, increasing circulation, and benefiting the immune and lymphatic systems. It is an exercise that anyone can do – you start slow and keep going. And, it\u2019s an activity that you will actually look forward to, I promise!<\/p>\n

Supplements<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Fish Oil<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Flax Oil<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– besides providing great benefit to the\u00a0cardiovascular system<\/a>, fish and flax oils also help keep your skin and hair soft and healthy.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Alpha Lipoic Acid<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Alpha lipoic acid<\/a>, also known as lipoic acid is a powerful, natural\u00a0antioxidant<\/a>\u00a0slowly becoming recognized as having some unique properties in the therapy and prevention of a broad range of diseases. We have all heard the term \u201cfree radicals<\/a>\u201d in connection with youth and aging.\u00a0Antioxidants<\/a>\u00a0are what help battle these\u00a0free radicals<\/a>\u00a0and keep us healthier and younger looking.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Biotin<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Contained naturally in foods such as cheese, raspberries, eggs, liver, chicken and avocados, most people get enough\u00a0biotin<\/a>\u00a0in their regular diets without ever having to worry about a deficiency. The function of\u00a0biotin<\/a>\u00a0is to help the body make use of essential folic acids, pantothenic acid, protein and vitamin B-12. Although very rare, biotin deficiency can cause fatigue,\u00a0hair loss<\/a>, depression, skin rash and skin discoloration.<\/p>\n

* A good\u00a0Multi-Vitamin<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– A solid\u00a0multi-vitamin<\/a>\u00a0will help you get all of the nutrients,\u00a0vitamins<\/a>\u00a0and minerals you may need. Although, remember, the best way to get what your body needs is by eating right!<\/p>\n

* Vitamin\u00a0B-Complex<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Over 60 different bodily enzymes require vitamin\u00a0B6<\/a>\u00a0to perform properly. In addition, vitamin\u00a0B12<\/a>\u00a0relies upon its B cousin for assistance in adequate absorption into our bodies. Vitamin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
