Holistic health and beauty depends greatly on the quality of your diet.\u00a0 The food choices you make each and every day really do affect the way your body functions, as well as how your skin looks.\u00a0 Conditions like psoriasis and eczema can often be eased or even eliminated with dietary changes, as can many other physical and mental health issues.\u00a0 And, along those same lines, even if you’re taking medicine, and\/or using the best natural skin care products<\/a>, if your diet is poor, t\"organic<\/a>hese remedies can only solve so much.\u00a0 When you eat well however, your body stays strong, healthy and works to it’s fullest potential.<\/p>\n

What constitutes eating well?<\/p>\n

Most people say that’s different for each individual.\u00a0 In terms of skin, there is much evidence that fatty foods like dairy and meats lead to increased sebum production and acne, as well as accelerated aging among other issues.\u00a0 Also, dairy as well as processed foods and wheat are some of the primary culprits for skin conditions like eczema, rosacea and others.\u00a0 When these foods are reduced or eliminated from the diet, these skin conditions often clear.<\/p>\n

Overall, no one can deny that fresh, organic fruits and vegetables should be the main part of everyone’s diet.\u00a0 You probably know from reading past posts here that we eat and recommend a gluten free, vegan diet<\/a> both for optimal skin health – also because of our love of animals (the vegan part anyway!).\u00a0 But, we also know – from personal experience – this is not easy.\u00a0 Life gets in the way.\u00a0 Fast food beckons, and we slowly move away from our optimal diet.\u00a0 Each day is a blank canvas though and an opportunity to make better choices, including about what we eat.<\/p>\n

To help you make better food choices even in a hurry, one of the options we highly recommend are salads.\u00a0 You can make them ahead of time, they’re fairly easy to carry (especially with the right containers) for food on the go, and they’re raw, organic veggie and fruit power!\u00a0 Here are two of our favorite salad recipes that incorporate some fantastic beauty foods and make yummy ways to feed your skin, and your whole body right.<\/p>\n
