When natural oils are excluded from the diet, deficiency symptoms of the lack of essential fatty acids may develop.
This includes dermatitis, falling hair, dry skin, acne, and fever blisters.
Beautiful skin reflects inner health. Skin blemishes, acne, rashes, red patches, brown (age) spots, eczema, and psoriasis all reflect an imbalance of body chemistry resulting in the lack of inner health. The perennial quest for that healthy glow does not end with make-up, elixirs, potions, or peels but by consuming the nutritional essentials as a part of a healthy lifestyle of whole foods and whole food supplements.
The skin is the largest organ of the body. It protects us from our environment, resists toxins, aids in the production of vitamin D, absorbs nutrients, and releases toxins. Most people don’t realize that the skin forms the inside of the mouth, the lining of the intestinal tract, and the bottom of the feet, as well as the skin of the face.
Some believe healthy, radiant skin is the result of good genetics. While genetics do influence health, environment and lifestyle choices are most certainly the major causes of skin blemishes.
Natural Lifestyle Choices for Healthy Skin in Modern Life
Natural Lifestyle is the Key to Health. Can we achieve a natural lifestyle in our cities? You bet we can!
The answers are simple when our choices are based on these natural principles:
- Natural (unrefined) foods are best.
- Drink plenty of water (not distilled).
- Exercise (walk, at least) daily.
Refined foods are bad for our body. Refined foods drain healthy nutrients from our systems while providing little or nothing of value. These synthetic foods must be avoided. They cause weight gain and toxic build-up in the tissues, leaving the body nutritionally deficient and thus unable to maintain health.
If you are a person who eats from packages, boxes, and cans, you likely do not have a natural diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables and wholesome, properly prepared meals need to be the mainstay of your daily lifestyle. Your meals primarily need to be from the produce section of the market and the remainder from the meat and fish section. Water is necessary for health. When one eats 90% of their meals from the produce section, there is high water content naturally in those foods.
Hydration, Detoxification, and Exercise for Healthy Skin
Try Natural Remedies Before Drugs, Pills, Potions.
Spring water, rich in minerals, needs to be consumed daily as well. Water from these sources assists the Health Building of your body, including the release of toxins so often associated with unhealthy skin.
Exercise helps our body oxygenate its tissues. Oxygen is so very essential to health, and exercise is the way to increase the benefits of oxygen to your system. Unhealthy bacteria cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment, and exercise helps keep the body healthy and free of toxins.
That’s because good circulation, which is the result of exercise, takes toxins which otherwise might be forced through the skin (causing blemishes, acne, and rashes) and delivers them to the kidneys and lungs to be released in the urine and breath.
Occasionally, the flushing of toxins by water and exercise is not enough to restore a toxin-free body and healthy skin. That’s when the nutritional essentials for a healthy liver will support these detoxification functions.
Only natural, whole food supplements provide what the body needs by concentrating on the goodness of natural foods.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once symptoms of unhealthy skin appear, the body has been unhealthy internally for weeks, months, or years. This deep-seated nutritional deficiency typically requires a concentrated effort from Health Building to remedy the problem. Healthy, glowing skin results from a natural lifestyle of whole foods, water, exercise, and whole food supplements.
Although each person has their own personal needs to achieve and maintain healthy skin—identified by a Nutritional Deficiency evaluation—there are some nutritional essentials basics which apply to everyone.
