 Sunflower Seeds- provide a lot of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps slow down the aging of skin. The seeds also provide essential fatty acids that help keep the skin lubricated and soft. This food is thought to reduce the appearance of blackheads, acne, helps prevent psoriasis, and other skin problems such as topic dermatitis.

From The Heart

I am thankful that I have compassion for all of humanity and I am glad I am not blinded to reality by arrogance, fear or ignorance.

It is my hope that the number of human beings (in powerful places), increase that have this heart and mind set. So that we can all benefit from it.

Beauty Health Tips- Skin Health

Whole Grains - as can be found in certain breads and cereals, are a good food for skin because they are loaded with the B group vitamins. B group vitamins are essential for normal skin functioning. They are required for the growth of new cells, replacing those that have died, and help strengthen the skin against infections and stress. Specifically, whole grains help prevent the peeling and cracking of skin, rough skin on the hands and feet, and conditions such as mouth ulcers. When you fill up on whole-grain products, it leaves less room for the "white" foods that are a worse choice for skin health. These include white-flour items (bread, cake and pasta), sugar, and white rice. All can affect insulin levels and cause inflammation that may ultimately be linked to skin break outs

Quotes, Poetry, and/or Things I know For Sure

 Poem:

Your presence is a present to the world.

You’re unique and one of a kind.

Your life can be what you want it to be.

Take the days just one at a time.

Don’t put limits on yourself.

So many dreams are waiting to be realized.

Decisions are too important to leave to chance.

Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize,

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.

The longer one carries a problem,

  the heavier it gets.

Don’t take things too seriously.

Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.

You will make it through whatever comes along.

Within you are so many answers.

Understand, have courage, be strong.

Nutrition

Nutrition-is important if you want to look good and be healthy

 Avocados are high in fat, but most of the fat is monounsaturated and thus is considered a healthy fat. An avocado is a good food for skin because, as is the case with omega-3 fatty acids, it keeps skin plump and youthful looking and helps prevent dry skin.

Avocados contain both vitamin C and vitamin E, which act well together as a powerful skin anti-aging combination.

Beauty Health Tips- Skin Health

Water is essential to our skin diet because it hydrates and helps to move toxins out and nutrients in. When the body is properly hydrated, it sweats more efficiently, which helps keep the skin clean and clear. Experts recommend that we should drink 6 to 8 glasses of water throughout the day. When that hydration comes from pure, clean water -- not liquids such as soda or even soup -- experts say skin cells rejoice (hard water, the kind high in minerals, is especially good).
