Healthy Skin Starts from Within
The skin is a reflection of our overall health. As the largest organ of the body, it works 24/7 to not only
maintain its protective barrier, but also to act as a depository for toxins and waste. When the body is unhealthy,
acidic or stressed, the skin often takes the brunt of the abuse. Our skin relies on what we eat, whether it is proteins,
fats, enzymes or vitamins and minerals, to maintain healthy function and pleasant appearance.
THE PROBLEM: Many of the foods we eat every day are considered "acid-forming".
The byproducts of the food form acids that are often
absorbed into our bloodstream through the intestines. Our bodies
respond to this inflammation
and disease promoting event by depositing the acids
in fatty tissue and our organs (including the skin). Acid-forming foods
are not always the ones you would think.
For example, lemons and their juice are
seemingly acidic, yet post-digestion it is actually very alkalinizing (the opposite of acidic). Most green vegetables
are alkalinizing, yet many fruits are in fact slightly acid-forming due to their sugar content. An acidic environment
in your body promotes more inflammation, encourages yeast-fungus overgrowth, slows metabolism, taxes your
immune
system and, in general, ages the body. We do not see acidity in the pH of the blood because the body, for
survival, shifts minerals like calcium and phosphorus into the blood stream while pushing acidic remnants of food
into various tissues -- like the skin.
The body must also deal with large numbers of artificial ingredients, hormones, pesticides and other harmful
chemicals (such as artificial sweeteners) in our diets. Once again, this taxes the immune system, creates hormonal
imbalances and promotes disease. Our body ends up spending most of its time repairing damage that we create
through poor dietary habits or food choices. Eating natural, organic and/or raw foods will help minimize the
exposure to these harmful ingredients. However, as a nation we are vitamin and mineral starved and benefit greatly
from supplementation. The greatest function for both vitamins and minerals is their work
at the cell level, where
they help drive virtually all of the processes in the body.
THE SOLUTION: As a part of your skin health strategy, skin must be treated from the "inside" and not just with
products and treatments for the "outside." Cosmedix Cosmeceuticals has a complete line of nutritional supplements
based on the philosophies stated above, which we are proud to carry at Med Spa. See the enclosed newsletter insert
for a complete description of these innovative products and a special offer for the month of August. With proper
nutritional support, your body and skin can look and feel great.
