Gimme some Skin

The largest organ you have - your skin.

Skin helps regulate body temperature, responds to touch, heat and cold... and quite important to our immune system, protects us from external elements. If damaged, it will try to heal, leaving behind scar tissue.

You probably knew all that. But did you know that your skin has its own ecosystem? Check it out - What Is The Skin Microbiome? Your Body's Largest Organ Has Its Own Ecosystem That You Need To Know About

The Importance of Hydration

Our body is 60% water and our brain 80%

A few obvious indicators of dehydration: Constipation, dry skin, kidney infections, hangovers...

A few not so obvious: Tiredness and fatigued, lack of nutrients, a weak immune system, constant hunger, weight gain, joint pain...

We Are All Being Replaced

My, my, my.... give each of us enough time and we will all be replaced! 

Well, at least our cells will. 

Thankfully, what I'm referring to, is the fact that our body continually replaces worn out cells with fresh cells. Head over to "Here's how often your body parts get replaced in your lifetime" to learn more.

Sugar is really not such a sweet deal.

Sugar can create havoc in many ways.  From Diabetes to Depression, Yeast Infections to Cancer... And now, current studies have given some clout to the old wives' tale - What you eat can affect your skin.

"High-glycemic foods, such as refined carbs, sugary drinks, and even certain fruits high in natural sugars, cause large spikes in blood sugar when eaten."

"Researchers speculate that insulin resistance—commonly associated with eating a high-glycemic diet—may fuel inflammation and the production of the acne-causing oil sebum." 

Read "Following a High-Glycemic Diet May Cause Acne" for more information.

While we're on this topic, here's a tip I got years ago... A client of mine presented to his Dermatologist for ongoing treatment of his acne.  Only problem, his doctor was not in.  He met with the covering doctor, who told him to make a poultice of Epsom Salt and place it on the soles of his feet before he went to bed. (Just use enough water to make the salt moldable.)

He did, and his skin improved!  Somehow the salts draw toxins out.

I love when these natural remedies work.  So much better than having to deal with the side effects of medications.
