    Superfoods for Glowing Skin

    By Stephanie Dolgoff, SELF magazine



    Ask most dermatologists what you should eat to help improve your skin and you'll probably get a vague answer about a balanced diet and plenty of water. "Doctors have been taught to be very skeptical about nutritional approaches to health, because past advice wasn't based on hard science," says dermatologist Valori Treloar, M.D., coauthor of The Clear Skin Diet. But their skepticism is fading as more patients sing the praises of food's skin-morphing powers, and newer research backs them up. Take teens with acne: They swear that chocolate makes breakouts worse, and (vindication!) a preliminary study of 18- to 35-year-olds presented at this year's American Academy of Dermatology conference suggests they're right.

      Wish I knew, Kitty. I agree. Firm is good for sandwiches, soft & gooey great for guacamole. Main thing is don't waste them as they're a little pricey, especially in CA. They're soooo good & healthy.

      Super Foods are fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient dense soils. The soils in the United States have changed throughout the years due to pesticides and not allowing soil to regain the nutrients it needs therefore less nutrients in the vegetables and fruits grown in the United States. If you look at people that live near these "super foods" most of which is in the Amazon Rainforest, China, Africa and Mexico. The disease rate is much less than the U.S. The BIG key that a lot of people don't see is harvesting and "processing" these fruits needs to be done in a matter of hours not days. So just because you're taking that drink of Acai Berry Juice or taking that capsule of Cupuacu doesn't mean it has its full benefit, or much benefit at all. Be careful how much money your spending on stuff and learn how the company your purchasing from does there processing. The quicker, least processed super food is the key.

      I am from a dairy farm community and it just baffles me how we're being told not to drink cow's milk. Once we were told not to eat eggs and it took 10 years for the process to be completed and we were told we could eat them. We always had big, healthy meals and so did the other farm children and to date, we are all still alive. We still have our children, grandchildren and greats. I really believe other reasons are at fault. People, for a start, should stop putting all that junk that clogs the pores on their faces. Every time a new product comes out to remove this and that from the skin, people flock to get it. Why not use good old soap and water? Back in the day, old timer's skin was flawless.

      Strawberries... hmmm. I can't remember the last time I had a strawberry that tasted like one. For 25 years now, the s*hi^t that comes outa' California tastes like moist cardboard.

      So much hype, 18-35 year olds do not have to worry about wrinkles anyway....good skin has a lot to do with ones genes..ie...your parents aged early and had lots of wrinkles, so will you....ppl spend massive amounts hoping for the fountain of youth....it is on the inside. Good grief, imagine the ppl that would be fed with money spent on ones looks. Americans are vain and self centered....time to get real and care about those less fortunate for once.

      So i guess supersizing this big mac is not the best thing for my pores. Next time I will go for the sweet potatoes and flax seed

      Painful truth, your body gets "ruined" by age anyway. Having a child does not ruin it, unless you don't take care of it while being pregnant or post partum.
      You don't have to have children, John Q Public is not forcing you to. As a matter of fact, don't. Thanks.

      Immey Sun,

      Way to plug in your sales pitch. Monavie is just over priced juice. I saw no difference in anything from my skin, general health, weight loss, or energy after taking a whole bottle of that stuff.
      Sorry, sweetie. You're the uninformed one.

      My grandfather worked outdoors in tough elements and
      always started his day with a 2 tbsp of Apple Cider
      Vinegar, followed by a tsp. of dark honey then some water.
      He said it helped keep him strong and vibrant.
      When he died at 85 he was wrinkle-free.
      Apples or A.C.V. are great for the skin.
      Today, I have some A.C.V. daily and people think I'm
      10 to 12 yrs. younger than my real age...I'm 41!
      Oh- and I go to sites like SupermatketRxs at Typepad.com
      for great tips.

      Picture 2 claims that vitamin A thins the epidermis and then picture 8 claims that vitamin A thickens the epidermis. Photo 2 - The fix: Vitamin A "This antioxidant thins the epidermis, or outer layer of skin, which produces dead cells that can clog pores," explains Jody Levine, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. Photo 8 - Of skin's several layers, the dermis—which lies right below the surface layer of skin (or epidermis)—contains all the collagen, a protein that gives skin plumpness and elasticity. "Vitamin A helps increase collagen production and thickens the dermis," Dr. Levine explains. So which is it? This seems like garbage.
