A short-cut to a smooth and healthy skin!
By Lisa Hyde-Barrett
You are 25 but look 35. Blame it on your skin! The skin is the
largest organ in the body, and the most exposed. Pollution,
ultraviolet rays in the Sun's light, stress, lack of essential vitamins,
all contribute to wear and tear your skin.
Most people don't take proper care of their skin - either due to
hectic work or due to pure ignorance. Lack of proper skin care can
result in more skin-related diseases and allergies. Proper skin care
is important for avoiding cold sores, spots, and skin cancer. Beauty
therapies and skin care lotions are only effective up to a point
when it comes to keeping your skin soft and smooth.
Exposure to sunlight causes loss of water in our body which leads
to dryness of the skin. This results in the skin losing its elasticity
and 'sagging.' This loss of elasticity normally happens with ageing.
However, changing climatic conditions and atmospheric conditions
such as ozone depletion cause the harmful ultraviolet B rays to
cause more damage to our skin. This is where nutrition comes in.
In order to get the right skin, it is important to look at the part
played by nutrition in skin care. That translates as getting more
nutritional food into your diet. Lack of proper nutrition may result in
the loss of natural oils present in your skin. Fresh vegetables,
fruits, fresh juice, cereals, etc. contain vitamins essential for a
healthy skin.
Vitamin E is said to be a skin-care vitamin. Apart from vitamin E,
vitamins such as A and C are also essential for a healthy skin.
These vitamins contain antioxidants which help the skin to
maintain its natural oils. These antioxidants help to reduce the
tendency of the skin to age. Ultimately they help fight the
punishing effect that the climatic changes have on our skins.
But where do you get the vitamins and nutrients necessary for
your skin's health? Not from your daily diet. For various reasons,
people cannot get the right quantity of vitamins and other
nutrients into the body through their normal diet. And synthetic
vitamins are out.
Enter glyconutrients. Eight essential sugars have been discovered
to be the essential building blocks for our body cells recently. There
is a lot of research going on about these essential sugars and the
larger group of saccharides of which they are a part, called
glyconutrients. These eight simple sugars are responsible for cell-
to-cell communication necessary for keeping the body's glands and
organs, including the skin, healthy.
Skin care ointments and lotions containing glyconutrients are the
best alternative to any beauty therapy. The intake glyconutrients
is equally important for health care as well as skin care.
Consult your doctor or dietician, exercise, and drink a lot of water.
And give your skin its daily dose of glyconutrients!
