Dr. Nicholas Perricone is known for his anti-aging suggestions and recommendations, and his new tips for eating a diet that will help you defeat aging is worth a look.
Eating the right foods can have a significant effect on the condition and look of your skin and eating a diet full of rich but health fats, fresh fruits and vegetables and plenty of water will improve the look and feel of your skin, the doctor says.
So what are some of his top tips? Let’s find out.
Perricone is well known for his theory of reducing inflammation in the body to help combat aging and live a more energetic life. The author of the best selling books “The Perricone Prescription” and “The Wrinkle Cure”, Dr. Perricone is considered a leading expert on learning to defy age through diet.
Perricone’s theory is based on the idea that reducing certain foods in the diet and adding others can reduce inflammation in the body. This, in turn, helps improve mood, reduce weight, create a better atmosphere for aging and can help with certain health issues. One of the greatest benefits is great skin.
Tip 1
With regard to diet, Perricone suggests eating his “anti inflammatory” diet, which includes eating colorful fresh vegetables and fruits, and high-quality proteins like those found in fish. He also recommends solid amounts of good fats, like those fats found in salmon, nuts, seeds, olive oil and flax.
As you can see, these foods contain heaps of natural goodness and the all important anti oxidants.
Tip 2
Although you might want to give yourself a little sweet to look forward to at the end of your healthy meal, Perricone suggests cutting sugar out of the diet, believing it is a major cause of inflammation in the body.
Sugar is believed to attach to collagen in a process called glycation, which weakens it and leads to wrinkles and saggy and less supple skin. By reducing sugar and the refined, high GI carbs, you’ll control your blood sugar levels as well as reduce insulin levels to improve the look of skin and improve your health.
Tip 3
Although women often try to reduce fats in the diet to a very low level, Perricone believes that a certain amount of fat is necessary in the diet.
He believes, in fact, that eating the right kinds of fat can help to burn body fat. You should also try to get a good amount of essential fatty acids in your diet – those found in good oils like fish or flaxseed oil are excellent. These fats will not only help to reduce inflammation in the body but also help keep the skin supple, moist and with fewer wrinkles.
Although aesthetically the essential fatty acids are best for skin, they also provide other benefits to the body, which include a healthy immune system, increased mental clarity and a regular body weight.
Tip 4
For beautiful skin, always drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
Water is an excellent way to keep skin supple and smooth and smooth and many experts believe it helps to reduce wrinkling. In fact, many believe that if you change nothing else in your diet or lifestyle, but you begin drinking adequate amounts of water, your skin, mood and energy will all improve.
So there you have it.
These are just some of the dietary suggestions that will help you to have a healthier body and mind, not to mention younger looking skin.
Following Dr. Perricone’s suggestions for a good diet will pay you dividends in the way you look and feel. So go for it and put these tips into practice, and look years younger right away.
