The skin may seem like an all-in-one container for your whole body, but it is actually a very complex living organ with many essential functions. It regulates body temperature, receives communication from the environment around you via nerves, and is the largest organ of detoxification. It’s appearance reflects your total health, including the condition of your internal organs, your immune system, your emotions and the foods you eat.

Attraction is initially instigated by appearance in most cases, and the skin gives the on-looker a means of assessing your total health at a glance. The condition of your skin depends on a number of factors including your environment, your genes, your age, your lifestyle, hygiene, cosmetic use, circulation, immune response, psychological state and of course what you eat.

Below are 10 foods you must eat for healthy skin:

Lemon

Lemon juice helps to lighten the skin, which can help reduce dark spots on the skin, and assist in eliminating blemishes. If you use lemon juice it is important after its application to avoid exposure to sunlight.

Honey, Lemon and Milk

The ancient Egyptians took great care of their skin’s appearance. The combination of Honey mixed with lemon and milk was a beauty regime for them. This trio of ingredients help in getting a lighter and clearer skin. You can also add cucumber juice for a tightening effect.

Oatmeal

Oats can be mixed with turmeric and water and used as a face mask. It helps remove dirt from the pores. Mix the ingredients, apply on the skin, allow to dry, rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Tomato

Tomato can lighten the skin and help remove excess oil. It can have this effect even on blocked pores. Remove the skin and seeds of the tomato, apply pulp to the skin and rinse once it dries.

Potato

Using Potato takes a few applications before results are seen. This is a good remedy for lightening the skin, especially dark spots of hyperpigmentation. It may also enhance the skin’s texture and tone. Grate up a small potato, squeeze out the excess water and apply to the area. Leave on for at least 10 minutes, rinse, pat dry and apply a natural moisturiser.

Ice Cubes

Ice cubes can improve circulation and cool inflamed skin. It has also been reported to extend the lasting effects of make-up, if used just before application.

Orange Peel

Orange peel is a good cleanser for oily skin as it can help reduce excess oil. It also produces some antimicrobial and purifying actions. It can be used as a scrub to assist in eliminating dead skin cells leaving it rejuvenated and glowing.

Herbs and Spices for Skin Health

Some herbs can also help to improve the condition of your skin, among them are these examples:

Chandan (powdered Sandalwood)

This is a popular skin protector used in Northern India and Nepal. It is reported to have has soothing, cooling and calming properties. It can be used to treat skin infections, rashes, irritations, and both hyper and hypo pigmentation.

Turmeric

Turmeric could be considered the wonder spice because it has so many medicinal uses, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and skin boosting effects. Turmeric is an all round cure for many health issues and in some Arabian and Indian cultures it is mixed with water and applied to any cut or bruise to speed the healing process and protect the injury from bacteria.

Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth)

One of the earliest substances used for a facial mask. Multani Mitti can cell regenerate skin cells, reduce acne scarring, and blemishes. It helps to exfoliate the dead skin cells of the skin and opens blocked pores which allows the skin to breathe.

Beauty is appreciated by the distinctive quality of the skin, so if your skin suffers from poor health, eat well and include plenty of fresh organic fruits and vegetables in your weekly diet, and give some of these corrective therapies a try, you might be pleasantly surprised!

Causes of skin problems

The environment can have a negative effect on the skin; strong wind and sun can damage the outer surface or epidermis, although excessive sun exposure can damage the deeper layers of the skin and in extreme cases this can be permanent. Alcohol and nicotine consumption also take their toll, and toxins in the air, water and foods can also impact the appearance of our skin. The important thing to understand is that your skin has remarkable regenerative powers given the right conditions and ingredients.

1. Do not overcook food, cooking destroys nutrients. Organic raw fruits and vegetables are best, but if cooking is required, just lightly steamed or quick stir fry in a quality fat such as coconut oil. I recommend ONLY good quality stainless-steel or ceramic cookware, and INSIST that anything Aluminium that comes into contact with food be discarded immediately!

2. Avoid eating when tired, emotionally upset or when in a hurry. The digestive processes will be impaired, wait until you feel calmer and have relaxed for at least 20 minutes before eating. Do not eat late in the evening. Digestive processes start to slow down after 6pm.

3. All foods must be chewed thoroughly at all times. Digestion starts in the mouth with enzymes released in your saliva; chewing stimulates the digestive cascade crucial to the breakdown of all food components, and subsequently effective and maximum absorption of nutrients.

4. Drink moderate amounts of fluids with meals. Drink an hour before a meal or two hours afterwards, to avoid diluting the digestive juices.

5. Avoid cooking at high temperatures above 100 deg C (212 F). Vitamins C & E, some other vitamins and all enzymes can be destroyed by heat. The enzymes begin to be destroyed at temperatures as low as 40 deg C (106 F). To offset these deficiencies in our cooked food we must obtain these nutrients from raw foods.

6. Wash fresh and dried fruits and vegetables to remove possible sprays, moulds and Sulphur dioxide.

7. Avoid using microwave ovens at all times. Research suggests that foods are de-natured by this cooking method, and the vitamin content afterwards is negligible.

8. Avoid the use of soft plastics (cling-film) in food preparations. The chemicals used to make these products can leach into your food; if they are then eaten, they can affect the hormonal systems due the their structure being very similar to our natural hormones.

9. Ensure Good Quality Sleep. No amount of nutritious food or exercise can counter-act the ill-effects of poor sleeping patterns. Sufficient quality sleep enhances immunity, detoxification processes and the production of growth hormone (necessary in maintenance of muscle mass, a healthy weight and very anti-ageing – helps you look and feel younger.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. (PRWEB)
April 10, 2020

A generous donation by the HBRA of Central Connecticut has helped Thermaxx, LLC to continue freely providing disposable gowns for firefighters, first responders, and medical professionals. Last week Thermaxx, LLC converted all of their insulation jacket production lines to make disposable gowns in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis. These gowns are not PPE as they have not undergone any FDA approval or testing but are designed to be an improvement over other crisis strategy gown alternatives recommended by the CDC. Since the program was announced last week, hundreds of organizations have requested gowns and Thermaxx expects to have delivered over 2500 gowns by this Friday (April 10). Quickly realizing that the demand was great and urgent, and more than one small business could fulfill on its own, Thermaxx solicited neighboring companies for help.

Eric Person, CEO of HBRA of Central Connecticut, and Shelia Leach, VP of Operations, answered the call by organizing donations of more than 50 rolls of material, about $10,000 worth, from their extensive network of members.

The Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut strives to protect the American Dream of housing opportunities for all, while working to achieve professional success for its members who build communities, create jobs and strengthen our economy.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Covid Airline Refunds http://www.covidairlinerefunds.com has announced a new program aimed at supporting the brave First Responders and all victims who have had travel plans disrupted due to the Covid-19 Virus. Created by a group of travel industry experts with over 30 years in the industry, Covid Airline Refunds established a program that will help passengers get refunds for their air travel, even if those tickets were “nonrefundable”. For first responders facing this issue, all fees will be waived as a nod of appreciation for all their hard work and dedication in what is truly a battle of a lifetime.

Because airlines are governed by the Department of Transportation, when flights are cancelled by DOT mandate, all passengers are entitled to a refund; not simply a travel voucher. Getting the actual refund can be a very time and labor intensive process, often with no results. The combined experience of the team and their connections to the industry simplify and streamline the process and have been delivering excellent results.

“This was borne from the experience of a staff member’s cousin engaged on the front lines as a health care worker. She had spent several hours on the phone trying to receive a refund for cancelled flights, while she was needed back at the hospital. In this critically important time, our team has the experience in navigating and negotiating the difficult red tape to get the consumers who are being penalized through no fault of their own, exactly what they deserve. We are especially proud to be able to offer this service at no cost for all First Responders. It is the least we can do to help play a part in this difficult fight and also recognize the true heroes out there.” said Mo Sayid, CEO of Covid Airline Refunds. http://www.Covidairlinerefunds.com
