The Best Raw Foods For Beautiful And Healthy Skin

Do you know what the best raw foods for your skin are?

Back in high school I suffered with severe acne. It was so bad it covered my entire face, chest, back. I even had it on my arms and legs. I tried all kinds of medications for it, including accutane. Every doctor I would go to would all say the same thing you skin has nothing to do with your diet. At the time I believed them.

It was not until I discovered the truth and started studying top alternative doctors.. That I cleared up my acne for good.

Beautiful And Healthy Skin Starts In Your Gut?

You can tell a lot about how healthy someone's gut really is just by looking at their eyes and skin. Clear radiant skin and eyes is usually a sign of a clean intestine. Meaning their body is relatively free from toxins.

What causes bad skin?

Bad skin is caused by toxic build up in the colon and intestine. When your colon gets back up blemishes, acne, and dry skin is the result.

So the first thing you need to do is to minimize the amount of toxins entering your body as much as possible. The biggest toxins you must avoid are processed foods, which are loaded with all kinds of chemicals/toxins. Other forms of toxins are tap water, polluted areas, and skin creams to name a few.

Next you need to eat the best raw foods that are great for your skin:

According to discover health there are a number of raw foods for beautiful and healthy skin.

A few of the foods they suggest you eat are

1.) Raw Nuts - many nuts are loaded with vitamin E, especially almonds. This essential vitamin is responsible for fighting skin aging. Also prevents free radical damage to your skin and helps your skin hold in more moisture to prevent dryness.

2.) Red and Green Vegetable - These types of vegetables are packed full of beta-carotene which your body converts to vitamin A. This key vitamin also fights skin aging and prevents skin damage. A great food high in this essential vitamin is spinach.

3.) Raw Fruits - many fruits are loaded with vitamin C. What this vitamin does is helps collagen production. Which are proteins that form the structure of your skin. When your collagen levels are low this can cause your skin to become saggy. Vitamin C helps to tighten up your skin to prevent this.

Oranges are not the only fruit that is high in vitamin C. Here are 5 raw foods that are higher in vitamin C than oranges. They include: Papaya, strawberries, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cantaloupe.

And here's a delicious raw smoothie with all the crucial nutrients to healthy and beautiful skin.

The Anti-Aging Raw Smoothie

•1 handful of almonds 

•1 cup of spinach (don't worry you won't taste it!) 

•1 cup of strawberries 

•1 cup of reverse osmosis or distilled water.

Blend until smooth.

Other Factors that Impact Your Skin

1.) You need to drink half your body weight in ounces per day. So if you weigh 140 pounds then you need to be consuming 70 ounces of reverse osmosis or distilled water per day. Not tap water.

2.) Optimize your gut flora with beneficial bacteria by eating fermented foods and taking a high quality probiotic.

3.) Optimize your vitamin D levels by getting 20 minutes of sunlight everyday (no burning).

There you have it the keys to more beautiful, healthy, and radiant skin.

Discover 6 Foods Good for Skin Health

So you've got your bottle of NeriumAD and you've used it for a few days (you did get your NeriumAD, didn't you?), and now you want to know how your diet can affect your skin's health and appearance.
I'm about to show the secret to having healthy, younger looking skin, that's also amazing for your heart, brain and memory, as well as other inflammation related discomforts!
Another benefit, these foods good for skin are easy to combine into delicious recipes, and they're available at your local grocery store!
Foods Good for Skin
#1 - Water
Easily the most overlooked ingredient for excellent skin health is water. At the most basic level, your skin is an organ made up of cells. Dehydrated cells malfunction in numerous ways. In skin, this manifests itself as tight, dry, flaky skin. Dry skin is thinner, cuts easier, and is more prone to wrinkles. That said, skin is the last organ to hydrate. It is highly unlikely that you can hyper-hydrate skin by drinking water, but you most certainly can prevent dehydration
Water is also an excellent detoxifier. It helps to shuttle waste from the body. Metabolic wastes in the blood can lead to all kinds of skin irritations and rashes, primarily acne.
#2 - Salmon
In fact, salmon is one of the best natural sources of Omega 3 fatty acids, and access to wild caught salmon is available at just about every decent grocery store. Omega-3 fatty acids are powerful anti-inflammatory, which will help you with inflammatory related discomforts such as knee, elbow, and other tendonitis related pains.
In terms of skin, omega-3's reduce redness, unclog pores, and avert developing lines and wrinkles![1. Boelsma E, Hendriks HF. Roza L. Nutritional skin care: health effects of micronutrients and fatty acids. Am J Clin Nutr. 2001;73(5):853-864.]
EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid, has protective effects against the sun. It can also slows production of androgen hormones which result in oily skin!
#3 - Avocado
Avacados are a plant source of Omega-3 fats. Also, avocados have the highest natural vitamin E content of any fruit. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that counteracts free radicals. This anti-oxidant effects is helpful in decelerating the signs and symptoms of aging. [2. Erratum to: Polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols derived from avocado suppress inflammatory response and provide non-sunscreen protection against UV-induced damage in skin cells]
Avocado oil is a fantastic skin barrier, and natural emollient. This means it helps your skin retain water for more soft, supple tissue. You can use Avocado oil in the morning as a fantastic natural moisturizer.
Want to supplement your NeriumAD during the day? Avocado's are high in a substance called sterolins. Sterolins help the body produce more skin collagen, and helps reduce age spots!
#4 - Whey Protein
Sorry vegetarians, but only whey protein has Lactoferrin, a potent Acne fighter. In one study, participants who consumed a quality whey protein isolate (not hydrolysate) for 12 weeks showed an average 20% improvement in acne vulgaris.
Whey protein is also alkaline. Why is this important? Science has proven that cancer can't live in an alkaline environment. Humans with cancer always have acidic blood (lower than 7 ph). Ideally, you should aim to have a ph that is slightly alkaline (7.4). Eating foods that are alkaline in PH are able to increase brain function, and increase the amount of energy taken from food. In terms of skin health, acidic blood causes significant cellular degeneration which accelerates the process of aging!
#5 - Kiwi
Kiwi is the unsung hero among fruits which are good for your skin. That is because pound for pound, kiwi has the highest Vitamin C content of just about any fruit. Vitamin C is a potent collagen stimulus in the skin, keeping the skin firm and supple.
Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant, which neutralizes free radicals and reverses DNA damage.
Vitamin C has also reduces UV-B induced sunburns.
Other foods high in vitamin c are strawberries, cherries, citrus fruits, bell peppers, brussel sprouts, kale, and broccoli.
#6 - Carrots
Carrots, and other brightly colored vegetables contain an antioxidant called beta carotene. Beta carotene is converted into Vitamin-A in the body. When combined with the phytonutrients in carrots, Vitamin-A helps repair skin tissue.
Vitamin-A also protects the skin against UV-A rays, another skin burning aspect of sun exposure. [3. Bayerl Ch. Beta-carotene in dermatology: Does it help?Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Panonica Adriat. 2008;17(4):160-2.]
Vitamin A deficiency causes premature wrinkling, acne, and dry skin, particularly on the extremities.
A Complete Recipe for Good Skin Health
Let's recap the 6 foods above, and why they represent a holistic approach to skin health:
First, we addressed hydration and fluid intake. While drinking water may not directly improve your skins health and appearance, there is no question dehydration will have profoundly negative impacts on your overall health and appearance.
Second, we talked about reducing inflammation by balancing your fatty acid profile by adding excellent sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. By ingesting plenty of healthy fats, your skin tone, and elasticity, do improve.
Third, we learned the importance getting your body out of acidosis, and into an alkaline PH. Acidosis causes more rapid cellular break down, and leaves you prone to allergens.
Fourth, we talked about the power of antioxidants to help reduce the negative effects of ultra violet radiation (sun exposure to the skin). The antioxidant Vitamin-C increases collagen produciton in the skin.
By combining these strategies with your daily use of NeriumAD, you are harnessing the most powerful arsenal against anti-aging! So order your NeriumAD now, and get to the grocery store!
