You are what you eat!

Can't give up soda? Go healthy!

Hooked on soda pop? We know how bad it is, esp. the diet versions w/yucky aspartame. Can't kick the habit? Try changing the product. There are several easily-available, healthier alternatives to choose from.
Switching from cola, or Mt. Dew drinks, to Ginger Ales & Root Beers, is even more beneficial. The healthy alternatives use REAL ginger & herbs in their bevvies. The real stuff has actual beneficial properties.

Dehydration

Perfect skin requires water.

Dehydration slows your metabolic rate.
Skin functions slow down.
Skin cell turnover rate decreases.
Sebum production decreases.
Healing rate of breakouts decreases.
Waste products from within the skin can't be flushed efficiently.
Normal elimination slows down and toxins buld up in the large intestine and colon.
A person who is overweight has a lower percentage of water in their body.
The increase in bodyfat that comes with being overweight reduces the amount of hydration in the body.
People who are overweight are constantly dehydrated, making it harder to lose excess pounds.
Swelling of the face can also be caused by inadequate water consumption.
Drink half your body weight in ounces each day.
Example: 200 lbs. drink 100 oz. or 12.5 glasses of water daily.

Eat your cruciferous veggies for good skin health and overall good health!
