The REAL Secret to Clear Skin


There's only 3 things that I would say all people with acne should consider when trying to clear your skin.

  • Drink HALF your body weight in WATER
  • Drink GREEN JUICE
  • SLEEP!
Water is such a great natural remedy for so many healthy issues out there, but what it does for the skin is beyond amazing. As I mentioned in the video above it flushes out all the toxins in your body and keeps your skin cells nice and plump so your skin will look amazing

Green Juice is the easiest way to get in the nutrients from fruits and vegetables you normally wouldn't eat on your own. Not to say I still don't eat additionally fruits and vegetables on top of this, but at least getting this in 5x a week for those who don't already eat plenty of fruits and vegetables is a must. I use kiwi, apples, cucumbers, and spinach.



Possible health benefits of consuming kiwis

Consuming fruits and vegetables of all kinds has long been associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetescancer and other conditions. Many studies have shown that increased consumption of plant foods like kiwis decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality.
Beautiful Skin: Collagen, the skins support system, is reliant on vitamin C as an essential nutrient that works in our bodies as an antioxidant to help prevent damage caused by the sun, pollution and smoke, smooth wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.1
Better Sleep: According to a study on the effects of kiwifruit consumption on sleep quality in adults with sleep problems, it was found that kiwi consumption may improve sleep onset, duration, and efficiency in adults with self-reported sleep disturbances.
Heart Health: The fiber and potassium in kiwis support heart health. An increase in potassium intake along with a decrease in sodium intake is the most important dietary change that a person can make to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease, according to Mark Houston, MD, MS, an associate clinical professor of medicine at Vanderbilt Medical School and director of the Hypertension Institute at St Thomas Hospital in Tennessee.3

Silica has several advantages to our overall health as well as skin. Edith M. Carlisle, Ph.D carried out research on chicks in 1970s and 1980s. Her research proven that silica found in cucumber created 100 times much more bone collagen more than those not getting nutritional silica. Furthermore, their bones exposed a sluggish, but remarkable, increase in calcium content. Silica’s contribution towards the power of our ligament is important to a younger physical appearance of your skin. Silica is additionally verified as being an inhibitor of the process of getting older in tissues. An insufficiency of silica as well as acid hyaluronic increases aging of the skin simply because connective tissues are not able to maintain water effectively. Research has shown that silica definitely seems to be part of the synthesis of proline (an important component of collagen), that is necessary in the creation of deoxycollagen. In addition, research by Carlisle demonstrates that the best functioning of “prolyl hydroxylase,” a chemical important to collagen synthesis, is dependent upon silica.
