Anti-aging Begins with What You Eat
December 6, 2007 by Darren Craddock
As you age your body has to work harder to eliminate toxins and waste products. Drinking at least eight glasses of clean filtered water can help keep your skin hydrated and looking younger. Because your skin is the largest organ you have, it is is also one of the biggest ways to eliminate toxins and waster from your system. Literally your skin isa reflection of what you put into your body rather than what you put on it.
There is no magic potion for anti-aging.
You could spend thousands of dollars on topical lotions and potions. No lotion can prevent your skin from looking old and leathery if you do not get adequate nutrition on a regular basis. This means that years of nutritional abuse usually shows up on the surface of your skin well before you notice your colon or liver.
Anti aging creams attack the surface but not the cause
Your liver and colon are designed to eliminate chemicals, poisons and toxins we may become exposed to. They also in charge of removing the natural waste from the food we eat. Over time, these organs can become overwhelmed with the amount of fat, sate material and foreign chemicals that must be removed on a daily basis. The left over toxins that are stored in the body move out through the skin. This causes oily patches, dryness, acne, wrinkles and poor coloration.
Yes, food can be anti aging - but only the right foods!
Our diets are often lacking in whole grain fiber and the volumes of fresh and uncooked vegetables that it takes to clean out the gunk. Highly processed foods like white flour and sugar turn into a sticky goo once inside your belly. Most of this foodstuff is only waste since there is little nutrition to digest. Literally, every time your colon gets overloaded trying to process too much waste it has no other choice but to reabsorb the toxins into your fatty cells or try to eliminate them through your skin.
Your colon is designed to take excess waster from the food we eat and the things we touch and move it out of our body, quickly and efficiently. When this system works right, it s a beautiful thing. As your body fights to restore balance it must reabsorb these wastes. If your body does not have enough water then these toxins harden and start to slow down the process even more. This cycle of re absorption and hardening makes it harderfor the muscles around the colon to squeeze out the waste.
Beautiful looking skin comes from taking care of the inside, not just the outside. The health of your colon and digestive tract may have more to do with looking ten years younger than the best cream or injection. Your skin reflects the health of your entire system. Dehydration makes you look older than you are and makes it very hard for your skin to stay elastic and subtle.
You can look younger in a few short weeks
Old age does not necessarily include bad skin. In fact, many symptoms of age are due to years of poor diet and dehydration. If this had been true for you, take heart, you can start to reverss the signs of aging today.
Look younger by adding one glass of water to each meal and at the beginning and end of each day. Stay hydrated all day long, each and every day, and you will notice younger looking skin in a few weeks. Add a super green powder to your daily routine so you can get the benefits of green nutrition without the fuss.
A lot of things go into making sure that the colon cleansing work and I would say that the number one thing is sufficient water intake. Clean, filtered water is the elixir of life - so drink your fill and enjoy natural youthful skin.
