First and foremost you must understand the importance of the adrenals. What am I talking about you ask? Well the adrenal glands produce hormones that help our body adapt to stressful conditions. These hormones help improve oxygen and glucose supply to the muscle, but during stressful conditions the blood thickens to help heal wounds. Tea, coffee, chocolate and cigarette smoking will have the same negative effect on the body by increasing stress and speeding up the aging process.
Your skin’s health is really a great indicator of your body’s health. Eating a diet of untreated, antioxidant rich foods would benefit your skin’s health immensely. Nutrients from these foods and other supplements are important at every stage of your skin’s development. Collagen is formed when Vitamin C is converts the amino acid proline into hydroxyproline. Not only is vitamin C essential, the skin requires vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Niacin, biotin, magnesium, and zinc. Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids are also very important and you can supplement with flax oil, evening primrose oil, and borage seed oil. These oils should be cold pressed.
Here is a juicing recipe I have found that may help you improve your skin’s appearance.
