Diet Tips For Reducing
Wrinkles and Looking Great
It is a fact that were not getting any younger even though I believe we
can look younger than our age. It is a fact that what we put into our
body speeds up or slows down the aging process. It is also a fact that
the lack of exercise puts on the weight and makes us feel blah. Our
lifestyle has a lot to do with the way we look and feel. Reduce Wrinkles With Good Eating Habits
What causes wrinkles? Lifestyle, environmental
hazards and genes cause wrinkles and wear and tear on our skin. But if
we drink lots of filtered water, buy organic as much as possible, get
plenty of rest, moderate amounts of sunshine on the skin, exercise, and
eat a healthy diet we can slow down the aging process considerably. We absolutely need to understand the difference
between different food products. There are those that are natural and
whole and there are those that are unnatural and incomplete. For an
example an organic apple is natural and whole but canned applesauce is
unnatural and incomplete. A loaf of whole wheat bread is natural and
whole but a slice of white or wheat bread is incomplete. Proper Elimination Is Very Important In How We Look
and Feel
Processed foods tend to constipate us because most
of the fiber has been taken out in the factory. If our diet consists of
a lot of processed foods we will not digest the food in the gut
properly. In fact this is why toxic buildup becomes apparent and we get
sick with allergies, glucose issues, IBS syndrome, clogged arteries,
high blood pressure and cholesterol. So how can being constipated effect the way our
skin looks? When we don’t eliminate properly we have blotchy, dry or
oily, itchy, pimply, rugged looking skin because the pores are not
breathing—they are clogged up with toxins that are building up from
not having good bowel movements. Toxins need to get out! When we eat it
has to come back out if we want look, feel, and be healthy. When we eat processed foods our digestion system
becomes overworked trying to figure out what it is going to do with that
food, and we don’t sleep properly. We invariably wake up feeling
tired, constipated, lack of energy, and ready to take a nap. The whole
day is ruined because we did not wake up feeling refreshed and ready to
start the day. This shows in our face because improper eating speeds up
the aging process and causes wrinkles. Incomplete Foods vs. Complete Foods
Below are some common food examples of incomplete
foods and right next to it are the healthy complete version, which
actually prevents clogged arteries, high cholesterol, glucose issues,
and disease. For healthy looking skin you will want to substitute for
the whole food versions. To reduce wrinkles and have glowing skin we
need to eat more nutritious rich foods like fruits, vegetables, dark
leafy greens, sprouts and whole-wheat baked goods and brown rice. White rice vs. Brown rice, wild rice, brown basmati rice Concentrated juices vs. Freshly squeezed juices, apples, oranges, grapes, etc Canned soups vs. Homemade soups White Flour vs. Whole wheat flour Bagels vs. Whole-wheat bagels Pizza Crust vs. Whole-wheat pizza crust Flour tortillas vs. Whole wheat or corn tortillas Cold cuts vs. Turkey, chicken, roast beef from the bone, pastrami Pasteurized dairy products vs. Raw cow or goat cheese, milk, yogurt, and butter Bisquick vs. Whole wheat Flour Potato flakes vs. Whole potatoes Donuts and pastries vs. Whole wheat pastry flour Frozen dinners vs. Home Cooking Frozen waffles and pancakes vs. Whole wheat waffles and pancakes Chocolate/candy bars vs. A cup of cocoa with raw honey, homemade cocoa treats Canned vegetables and fruits vs. Fresh, whole fruits and vegetables, dark leafy greens Soda pops vs. herbal and green teas, fresh juices, filtered water Refined sugar vs. raw honey, maple syrup, stevia,
date and fig sugar, fruit sugar If you’re not eating that great now, don’t fret too much over it. If you take away one unhealthy food a week and substitute it with a healthy food you will notice a difference in the way you look and feel within one month. Remember this tip for healthy eating. If it has been processed in any way by a factory then it is not healthy. Always eat the food in its natural state and your body will surely show that you really are what you eat.
