Skin Health and Raw Foods


What is the largest organ in your body? It is your skin! It provides a protective covering for the other organs of the body. It regulates your internal body temperature. And it is a good indicator of overall health and well-being.

People spend thousands of dollars on skin products to make your skin look vibrant and glowing. They are all topical products that we put on top of our skin. But if we spent just a fraction of the money we spend on these products on raw foods, we'd begin to see an immediate change in the texture of our skin.

When you eat raw foods, you put more of the essential vitamins and amino acids your body needs into it. You are also adding moisture � naturally. Raw foods have much higher moisture content than cooked foods, simply because the cooking process takes out so much essential moisture.

Your skin is a mirror of what is going on in the rest of your body. When your organs and blood are fed with the nutrition they need to function properly, that shows on your skin. Get your vitamins and moisture from foods like apples and carrots.

When you do, then phrases like inner beauty and inner glow will be applied to you. Your skin is what is presented to the rest of the world and healthy, glowing skin makes the best first impression.

When you start adding raw foods to your diet, things will just naturally fall into place. You will feel better. You will look better. People will react to you more positively. You will have so much more energy for your work, your friends, and your family. And this kind of energy is a self-perpetuating thing.

You do not need self-help books and expensive moisturizers and plastic surgery. When your body and skin are getting their essential nutrition with raw, uncooked foods, you will look and feel your best, naturally.
