Skin is the largest organ of the body and its condition can
be a reflection of a person's health. If a person's skin
looks unhealthy, it can often mean that the person as a
whole is unhealthy. This may be due to poor diet in terms
of their daily eating habits. Everything you eat and drink
will affect the appearance of your skin. Therefore, it is
very important to care for both the skin and body every
day. The skin works to prevent toxins from penetrating deep
into the body. It fights elements by electo-statically
filtering chemicals out of the air and concentrating these
polluted cells in the top layer of the skin before shedding
them. That is why polluted environments are so hard on our
skin. If you are not eating plenty of healthy foods, your
skin will show it. If you are drinking too much alcohol or
smoking, the same results take place. You must take care of
your skin on a daily basis to prevent aging. You can do
this by eating wholesome foods, drinking plenty of water,
cleansing properly, and avoiding numerous toxins that will
keep your skin from looking and being its best. You will
never have to reverse the damage that could occur
throughout the years, if good care starts early in life. If
you have already experienced damage, it is not too late for
you. Your body is always regenerating itself, and given the
right treatment, you can reverse damage. The sooner you
start the better. Some basic tips to start with are:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
• Drink plenty of water- 8-12, 8oz glasses a day.
• Use natural sun block for skin and hair.
• Eat plenty of healthy, vitamin-rich foods, as many
vegetables as you can each day. • Avoid smoking.
• Avoid excessive drinking of alcohol.
• Eliminate process foods from your diet.
• Eliminate high fat foods from your diet.
• Use natural skin care products; no mineral oil or
petroleum products on the skin.
I want to elaborate on the Eat healthy foods. I started
improving my diet 30 years ago in 1976; the difference in
my health and the health of my family and friends who still
consume fast foods, soft drinks, and processes foods is
unmistakable. Women's health is at great risk because of
the lack of quality foods and the consumption of process
high fat foods. At almost 53 I am in great health and
physical condition. My weight is stable even though I have
gone thru menopause. My energy is high even though I am
over 50, I feel as good as I did at 30 and did I mention I
have birthed and raised five children? Eat as many
vegetables as you can in a day is too vague. Eat
vegetables at every meal. If you are traveling and you
have a chance to eat a salad for breakfast, do it. Eat at
least two vegetables with lunch and dinner and snack on
vegetables. When you are home be sure to keep carrots,
celery, broccoli and cauliflower available to snack on. Do
not keep chips or candy in your home. Let your family
members know you intend to preserve your health or reclaim
it whatever the case may be and ask them to join you.
When I started 30 years ago this information was not so
available as it is today. Everywhere you look if you
become conscious of this conversation you will see support
for your wellness. I have a complaint with the health care
industry. I prefer to call it disease care when you are
taught to manage your disease not to preserve your health.
I am committed to helping you preserve your health and
wellness before disease strikes and I believe with a little
research you will see it is possible to avoid disease even
the common health problem of your specific family. Take
charge and have your health for the rest of your life. Take
this as an inspiration today and look for other daily
inspirations that move you to understand new levels of
health. Make a commitment to find an article daily, that
confirms your commitment to great health for the rest of
your life.
If you look around ,you will see everywhere there are
support systems to equip you in your quest for health and
wellness. I want this article to motivate and inspire you
in the direction of health and personal power. I know if
you have physical health it is more likely you will have
spiritual and emotional health as well. Start today! Get
health.
