Tips for Healthy Skin Glow

When you have dry skin, it's a sign that you could
be low in a few essential nutrients. I’d like to
highlight “Tips for a Healthy Skin Glow.”
Increase fruits and vegetables to 10 servings a
day: this will supply fiber for healthy bowel
movements as well as provide additional antioxidants
that will scavenge free radicals that have
been shown to cause wrinkles.
Drink ½ your weight in ounces of water. A 180
pound person would drink a minimum of 90
ounces of water every day.
Movement. We need exercise to flush the lymph
system every day. Movement is truly one of the
great anti-aging factors we have at our disposal.
The right amount of perspiration begins the process
of removing plasticizer residues found in our
food as well as heavy metals.
Dry Skin Brushing. Before every shower, brush
off the dead skin with a dry brush or cotton towel.
Assess the gall bladder, especially if fatty foods
make the patient nauseous.
Check for thyroid health if fatigue and hair loss is
a big part of your clinical picture.
Oil the skin from the inside out by adding extra
healthy oils to the diet: avocados, coconut oil,
and olive oil should be staples for a diet daily.
My current favorite oil both internally and externally
is Mixed EFAs by Biotics Research,
1-2 tablespoons per day. This product was developed
by Dr. Gary Lasneski to improve cell
membrane integrity. Mixed EFAs provide
healthy plant oils like walnut seed oil, sesame
seed oil, apricot seed oil, and hazelnut seed oil.
Make sure you are supplementing a high quality
multivitamin mineral. We need some of
those trace minerals as co-factors to rid the
body of toxins and for optimal nutrition. We
especially need the co-factors to use our oils to
reduce inflammation naturally. My current favorite
is Pro Multi Plus from Biotics, 1-2 capsules
three times per day.
I also recommend salt and soda alkalizing
baths. Years ago I learned that one of the ways to rid the body of
excess acids is to use the salt and soda bath.
This is a great way to open pores and allow
metabolic acids to leave the body and rehydrate
the skin.
To the novice that may seem like a lot of
things to add to their schedule, but remember
these principles are also reducing your risk for
many other diseases. Optimal internal health
will soon manifest externally with that
“Healthy Glow”. As you implement
these tips, don’t get discouraged.
Skin is a result of many factors; and it may
take time for the results to show. The payoff
will come with healthier, younger looking skin.
