Glowing skin, healthy shiny hair, strong nails and eyes that sparkle, (visit http://www.your-vision-care.com for more info on vision/eye care).  Isn’t this what we all want?

There are so many skin products available, and I am sure that some of them do help, nothing really helps as much as nutrition: nutritional supplements if needed: and exercise.

I read that:  “Your skin is the largest organ in the body”.  If you are NOT eating healthy foods to nourish your body, your skin is NOT being nourished. You can’t stuff your body with garbage junk food, and expect to have healthy skin.

Many studies have proven the need for  nourishing vegetables, fruits, nuts, teas (such as green teas) and other foods.  Shopping is an important part of your life if you want beautiful skin, and health in general.

Have you got dull skin, dry skin, skin that seems to be getting more wrinkly?  This could be a sign that you are not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids,  (now said to be a medical miracle of our century) which can be found in salmon.

Is your hair limp?  Do your nails break?  Maybe you need more protein such as beans, lentils, pulses or even more lean meat.

Be good to your body, and your body will look good!

When I see a fat guy holding an energy drink, I get sick to my stomach. I really can’t be too harsh because that used to be me. I was that fat guy. I know huge multimillion dollar marketing and advertising budgets go to extremes to convince us that we will see increased performance and sharper concentration benefits and not to mention the “coolness” factor, but seriously, how gullible are we really?

While my title is a play on the first few words of an old Tony Orlando song, Candida is no laughing matter. Ask anyone who has experienced it. Candida albicans is a common, fungal form of yeast that lives in a moist, warm environment. It’s believed that Candida is present in at least 90% of people. It grows most commonly on the mucus membranes of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts in our bodies. However, it can grow almost anywhere in your body and cause problems.
