A youthful skin in AN INSIDE JOB... Your skin is your largest organ and your body envelope. It protects your tissues, organs and bones, acts as a thermostat, a waste disposal unit, a defensive wall against bacteria and then some. Since your skin is exposed to the outside environment it often falls victim to abuse.

Power foods nourish from within your body to create a healthy metabolism and cleansing system so that your skin will glow with youthful health. Power foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables and their juices offer you high concentrates of skin-nourishing vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fiber. Include whole grains for polyunsaturated fatty acids and roughage so that you are able to enjoy regularity. Internal cleanliness helps to give you external health. Nourish your skin with amino acids from protein foods such as lean meats, poultry, fermented dairy products such as yoghurt or kefir, seeds, beans, nuts. Cold pressed oils such as extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed or primrose oil also help by keeping our hormones in balance. Avoid sugar and salt in all forms because they upset hormonal balance and disturb metabolism, which may cause premature skin aging. Power foods are even of better quality when they are organic, which means free of pesticides, hormones or other added environmental poisons.

Use power foods and help rejuvenate your skin, your body envelope, the barometer to good health and long-lasting youth.
