Are you looking for the secret to healthy looking, young, beautiful skin? You may know people who swear that using Botox and other facial fillers is the only way to achieve this.
Botox is the fastest growing treatment for wrinkles. 3,181,592 people were injected with botox in the United States alone last year, and it is becoming incredibly popular in another 75 countries where it has been approved.
Yet this is a toxic poison so dangerous that it could actually be used as a "weapon of mass destruction." Sure, it may smooth out the wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles, but the results don't seem to be worth it.
This paralyzing poison can also cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles and dysphasia (difficulty swallowing), leading to pneumonia and fluid in the lungs. In addition to botox, people are grasping at their youth through dangerous laser surgeries, toxic chemical peels, and cow collagen injections among others.
However, there is a natural, safe approach that can also be taken. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and our overall health is reflected on it.
Botox and other techniques can mask the problems for a while, but it the problems will eventually come through, if not on our skin then in our health. No matter what our age, we can make changes in our lives that will show up on our surface.
Here are a few easy steps to ensuring beautiful, glowing surface. If you are intolerant to certain foods, it may show up as bags or dark circles under the eyes.
Sugar is one of the most aging toxins, since fluctuating blood sugars are highly aging. Cow's milk is linked with acne.
Excess alcohol and other toxins that make the liver overworked can make the skin look overworked. A healthy diet that is filled with foods that nurture is the key to radiant skin.
Free radicals such as household chemicals and cigarettes cause aging. The irony is that all of these expensive creams and potions that promise to turn back the years, along with botox and other processes cause free radical damage that will eventually appear on the skin, no matter how much they seem to work in the short term.
But despite our efforts to avoid toxins, we are still going to come into contact with free radicals. Even exercise causes free radicals.
Consuming as many antioxidants as possible is the natural antidote. Kale, cabbage, chili peppers, parsley, artichokes, and Brussels sprouts are some of the most powerful vegetables.
Berries, pineapple, pomegranate, prunes, and kiwis are some of the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity. Raw chocolate, bee pollen, goji berries, and spirulina are just a few of the new super foods shown to dramatically reduce aging, as well as most other health issues.
The endless cycle of losing weight, and gaining it back only to go on yet another diet is terrible for the skin, not to mention dangerous for the body and exhausting for the mind. This constant rise and fall of weight can potentially cause wrinkles and sagginess.
Maintaining your optimum weight keeps skin firm and youthful. Cutting out or at least dramatically reducing the amount of "dead" food such as bread, pasta, and rice while significantly increasing the amount of living food like fruits and vegetables, is a simple change you can make to find your ideal weight and enjoy optimum health.
Excess sun exposure can cause damage as well. Yet this fact has been taken to the extreme, making people scared of getting any sun at all.
The key is to get short bursts of sun so that you don't get sun burned. Eating plenty of antioxidants will actually make you less likely to get sun burned.
On the other hand, sunscreen has been shown to cause aging and disease, so covering up when the skin has had too much sun is far more effective. Research indicates that broccoli sprouts are an especially good natural sunscreen food, and scientists are attempting to create a sunscreen out of them.
Coconut oil keeps the membrane strong and supple, preventing sagging and wrinkling. It protects from free radicals and is a natural sunscreen.
It prevents dryness, blemishes, and liver spots. It even has the ability to restore and rejuvenate damages.
It heals and repairs, leaving you looking radiant and youthful. Coconut oil has been used for centuries by people all over the world.
There is a natural way to care for your surface. Take care of it and it will take care of you!
