You are what you eat! Part one

Start by taking a good multi-vitamin once a day that has all the basic vitamin groups, especially the anti-oxidants A,C and E and the B vitamins; and minerals, look for skin friendly selenium, copper and zinc. Take extra zinc if you are prone to acne.
Avoid fatty snacks and carbonated beverages (that’s right! Drink more water). Try fruits and veggies. Now you can buy them fresh cut and bagged and ready to eat so no excuses! Pass on the milk, cheese and red meat. The cows get so many hormones and other boosters these days, who needs theirs when we have our own hormonal issues? And of course, say “no” to fried foods and processed breads.
It’s all a matter of choices. When you start making conscious choices-water instead of that cola, chicken instead of red meat, an apple instead of …well, you get the picture. Little by little it gets easier and the pay-off is huge. You’ll feel and look great.
