When it comes to skin health many people do not think much beyond moisturizer. Since the skin is the largest organ of the body, we should be taking much better care of it. Your skin reflects your health, protects your organs from injury and infections, has many sensations that bring pleasure and lets you know if you need warmth or coolness, helps you use vitamin D from the sunlight and protects you from UV radiation. Your skin eliminates toxins and regulates body temperature. It is a pretty amazing organ and we take it for granted most of the time. The skin is one of the first things people become aware of about other people. Whether we are tired, tan, or blemished; the skin is an outward projection of our inner self. If we do not like the way we look or view ourselves negatively this can have a very strong affect on us as individuals. In order to have beautiful skin health you must start from the inside. You should eat a healthy diet of preferably organic protein, fruits and vegetables. Healthy protein sources such as beans, yogurt, and fish. Protein is the building block of muscles, hair and nails. Omega-3 from fish oil will give your skin that wonderful healthy glow and helps your brain in many ways. It’s a good fat and your body does not produce it, you must get it from outside sources such as fish or supplements. Spinach, carrots, tomatoes and blueberries contain such nutrients as vitamin A and beta carotene, Lycopene, vitamin C and many other antioxidants. Besides eating well you must get your sleep. Sleep is needed to keep your ski healthy. As you sleep all the cells in your body are renewing themselves. If you are hungry or tired, sleep should come before food according to emergency personnel! If you smoke quit, I’m sure you are aware of what cigarettes do? Alcohol and drugs (and this includes prescription drugs) will affect your skin health. If your liver is not healthy your skin won’t be either. Your liver purifies and cleanses the body and so does your skin. They are both inter-related in their hard working job to keep your body free of toxins whether from the environment or from what you put into your body. It’s your body, be aware of how hard it is working to keep you healthy and disease free; don’t poison it. You will be old before your time and your skin health will show.
