acnetips and some skin care
Rev Up Your Digestion –In alternative medicine, good skin is a
reflection of a good digestive system. People with skin disorders
such as acne, rosacea, and psoriasis often suffer from constipation,
imbalanced "good" vs. bad" bacteria, and other digestive conditions.
The two most common sluggish digestion culprits are:
Culprit #1: Not Enough Water Water bathes cells and eliminates waste
products, preventing constipation.
Culprit #2: Not Enough Fiber Most people lack fiber in their diets -
the average person eats only 12 g of fiber a day. In 2002, the
National Academy of Sciences Food and Nutrition Board established
recommended fiber intakes. For men aged 19-50 years, 38 g fiber is
recommended, and for men over 50, 31 g fiber is recommended. For
women aged 19 to 50 years, 25 g fiber is recommended, and for women
over 50, 21 g fiber is recommended. How do you up your fiber intake
if you can’t stomach those nasty fiber drinks? It’s not hard. Here
are my suggestions:
An Apple a Day - Have an apple, skin on, as a snack.
Add Whole Grains - Choose brown rice over white or make your own
50:50 combination.
Eat Cauliflower -
High-fiber snacks - Snack on nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, such as
dates, figs, and prunes.
Try a "Prune Power" Smoothie - Start your day with this tasty
smoothie.
Eat Beans - Open a can of your favorite beans. Rinse them well and
add them to your meal.
Ground Flaxseeds - For any easy fiber boost, sprinkle ground
flaxseeds (available at health food stores) on rice, salads,
oatmeal, or any other meal. Store flaxseeds in the fridge.
