5 Foods That Will Give You Healthy Skin

You always hear about the foods that make your skin nasty and greasy, but what about the foods that make you skin nice and clean? Well there are plenty of foods that help your skin look immaculate. I wish I knew about this earlier on.

Side Note: Just as a kind of side not, I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll just remind you that if you really want your skin to look and feel good avoid junk/fast food at all cost. Avoid McDonalds like the plague; the amounts of grease and fat are not good for your skin or the rest of your body for that matter.

  1. Low Fat Yogurt – Low fat yogurt and other low fat dairy products are amazing for the skin. Vitamin A is essential for the healthy growth and development of your skin. Vitamin A is an antioxidant the helps your skin repair, and even stay moist. Also, it produces the enzymes that stabilise the production of collagen, and is often added to skin creams under the name stabilised retinol.
  2. Mangoes - Mangoes are also full of vitamin A. They will help keep skin nice and healthy and repair cells making sure your skin doesn’t look flaky.
  3. Almonds - Almonds are full of another vitamin, vitamin E. Vitamin E helps moisturize your skin and aids in the protection from damage and premature aging.
  4. Green Tea – Green tea has been proven to due amazing things for the body. Because green tea contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents it will help repair and protect your skin. Additionally, green tea has shown that it aids in the prevention of many cancers. It does this by fighting off free radicals which also cause premature aging of the skin.
  5. Water – Water should be a no brainer, but many people forget to drink enough of it. Receiving adequate hydration is important for maintaining healthy skin. Drink actual water not pops and especially not energy drinks which contain an unbelievable amount of sugars.DoctorSolve Healthcare Solutions Inc., a Canadian Internet-based pharmacy intermediary (license #BC X23), offers low cost, long-term prescription drugs.

We’re Not Built To Last

Filed under: age,aging,anti-aging,elderly,older,skin,skin care,Uncategorized — John @ 1:27 pm


For some reason the idea of prolonging life has been fascinating to humans since very early on in our history. Ancient Chinese herbalists attempted to extend their lives and were even rumored to have lived for hundreds of years. Yet, even now we see many of these different ways to “avoid” growing old. Some people simply see aging as an appearance obstacle and purchase all these wrinkle creams in hopes that they can look youthful forever. Others try some of the most ludicrous things in attempts to prolong their lives for as long as possible.

My opinion on the matter of extending life is perhaps best told in the words of another. Sara Myers from the Silverplanet blog wrote, “I understand wanting to live a healthier, happier, more meaningful life, but living to 125 or 150, just for the sake of living long, doesn’t make sense to me.”

The one thing I have always wondered is why? Why does someone want to live for 150 years, or 200 years, or forever. Living forever really isn’t as appealing once you really think it through. Just because you can live that long doesn’t mean you won’t stop aging. Prolonging your life just means your body has more time to degrade and slowly die.

However, living forever without aging is much worse. Why? Well, could you imagine what your life would be like. You will have to watch everyone you love, have loved, or will love die as you continue to go on forever, unchanged by time. If you are religious and believe in some sort of heaven, paradise, or rebirth, you will quickly realize that none of that is achievable. You will see wars lost and won, creation and destruction, possibly the end of the human race. You won’t ever really be able to make a significant connection with anyone else because for you they will come and go and be forgotten. I don’t really think it is worth it.

Why can’t we just try to live however long we have to its fullest instead of just trying to live long just so we can say we have? Maybe we’re scared of the unknown or unsure of where we’ll go. Either way I’m going to take my chances and accept the fact that we’re not built to last.
