6 Foods to Eat for Radiant Skin

6 Foods to Eat for Radiant Skin Healthy, youthful, radiant skin is something we all want. That’s why there are stores full of skin creams, all claiming to banish wrinkles and make your skin look years younger. Yet while most creams can temporarily smooth skin, you can create long-lasting changes in your skin’s appearance from within. What you eat has a profound effect on your body, including your skin. Give your skin the nutrients it needs, and you can have radiant skin. Eat low-quality food that’s devoid of nutrition and your skin will quickly lose its elasticity and youthful appearance, no matter what creams you use. So here are 6 healthy foods to eat regularly for healthy, supple skin. 1. Dark Chocolate As if you needed another reason to eat more chocolate. Evidence suggests that dark chocolate can provide impressive benefits for your skin. All thanks to its high antioxidant content. One study, for example, found that your skin can become more hydrated and supple after 6-12 weeks of consuming cocoa powder (1). In another study, dark chocolate was shown to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles (2). But it doesn’t end there. Other studies found that dark chocolate is protective against the oxidizing effects of sunlight (3). It’s not a sunblock, so you should still wear a natural mineral sunscreen on your face daily. All these benefits only come from chocolate that’s at least 70% dark. The darker it is, the more beneficial antioxidants it contains. Dark #chocolate contains #antioxidants for healthy, youthful skin. CLICK TO TWEET 2. Avocados If you want healthy looking skin, you need healthy fats in your diet. Avocados are a rich source of healthy fats. In addition to being heart healthy, avocados can keep your skin flexible and moisturized. For example, one study of over 700 women found that a high intake of healthy fats (like those in avocados) was linked to more supple and younger looking skin (4). Other ways to get more healthy fats include flax seed, pumpkin seeds, chia seed, and tree nuts. These all provide essential fatty acids (EFAs) for moisturized, supple skin. Studies show #healthy fats can keep your skin flexible and moisturized. CLICK TO TWEET 3. Dark Leafy Greens It turns out that adding spinach or kale to your salads can give your skin a nice boost. That’s because dark leafy greens are full of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect against the damage caused by free radicals which can break down collagen and reduce your skin’s elasticity. Kale, for example, contains two carotenoid antioxidants called lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants can protect your skin against the damage caused by UV light. Dark leafy greens also contain natural folate, one of the B vitamins. Studies have suggested that folate can help repair DNA and reduce the risk of certain skin cancers (5). Dark leafy greens contain #antioxidants that protect your skin against oxidative stress. CLICK TO TWEET 4. Berries Berries are among the healthiest foods on the planet, and not surprisingly they also support skin health. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries are rich sources of antioxidants called anthocyanins that fight inflammation and free radicals. Plus, they are full of natural vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for your skin because it’s needed to create collagen, the primary building block of your skin. Without it, your skin can become thin, frail, and dry. Make sure to eat food sources of vitamin C, and avoid the “ascorbic acid” commonly listed in supplements. Ascorbic acid is an incomplete form of vitamin C. Berries provide #antioxidant protection for skin and essential vitamin C. CLICK TO TWEET 5. Broccoli Broccoli contains several compounds that are beneficial for your skin, including vitamin C and vitamin A (beta-carotene), which plays an important role in wound healing. Like dark leafy greens, broccoli also contains the carotenoid and antioxidant called lutein. This antioxidant protects the skin against free radical damage which causes the skin to become dry and wrinkled. Like all cruciferous veggies, broccoli is a rich source of sulfur, which is an essential building block of collagen. This means broccoli can both repair damaged collagen and help your body produce new collagen. This is a surefire way to get that young and supple skin you’ve always wanted. And last but not least, broccoli contains a natural compound called sulforaphane. Studies show that this compound protects the skin against the sun’s UV rays (6). Other studies suggest sulforaphane may even reduce the risk of certain types of skin cancer (7). Broccoli comes with sulforaphane, a nutrient that acts as a natural sunblock. CLICK TO TWEET 6. Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes, along with many other naturally orange veggies, contain a nutrient called beta-carotene. Once in the body, beta-carotene converts into a healthy form of vitamin A (unlike the dangerous forms of synthetic vitamin A). Natural vitamin A is important to have in your diet if you want to protect your skin. Beta-carotene is considered to be a defender against exposure to UV light, helping to prevent wrinkles and freckles, with several studies validating its sun protective qualities (8). Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene which can help prevent skin wrinkles and freckles. CLICK TO TWEET Feed Your Skin Fruits & Veggies Never underestimate the importance of your diet. Because if your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, no skincare product will help—no matter how expensive it is. Your diet is one of the best ways to ensure your skin stays healthy. Fruits and veggies are full of natural skin-protective compounds that give your skin a radiant, youthful look. And over time, these foods may even bring some youth back to your skin. If you have a hard time getting antioxidant-rich foods into your diet, consider a green juice powder. With 44 organic superfoods inside you’ll feed your skin the nutrients it needs, all in a convenient and tasty juice. And while your skin is usually hungry for nutrition, it also thirsts for hydration. Drink lots of water to help prevent dry, scaly skin. To make sure you get enough water every day, here are our tips to get the right amount of hydration at home or out and about.

a liver support powerhouse

Hi Oscar! Ahhh, the liver! What an underappreciated organ. This wonderful organ keeps our bodies humming away every day, but we often take it for granted and even forget its critical role in our wellness. The liver has MANY functions in the body, but one of the most well-known roles is detoxification. We are bombarded every single day with all sorts of things that must be detoxified from the body. The numbers are really scary. Of the 85,000 new chemicals developed in the last 60 years, a whopping 90% of them have never been tested for their effects on human health. More than 9,000 of these chemicals are food additives. Scientists currently estimate that humans carry at least 700 toxic chemicals in our bodies that have not been studied. So, as you can imagine, our poor livers have the odds stacked against them every day! Here are some interesting (and important) liver facts that you may or may not know: The liver is the largest internal organ (and the most metabolically complex). The liver is responsible for 500+ functions in the human body. The liver helps fight infection, control blood sugar, create proteins and hormones, neutralize and remove toxins, and much more. The liver is the only organ in the human body that is able to regenerate. The liver contains about 10% of your body's blood at any one time. The liver pumps close to 1.5 quarts of blood through it per minute. The liver is responsible for producing bile which helps with digestion and also with removing toxins. The liver weighs around 3 pounds. The liver is a warehouse for iron, plus extra minerals and vitamins that helps us function every day. For the ancient Greeks, the liver was considered the "seat of emotions" and viewed the liver as the organ in closest contact with the divine. There are a number of basic things that we can do every day to help support our liver function, including: Eating quality, real food. Staying hydrated. Exercising (in a mindful way that doesn't stress the body). Getting good sleep. Keeping stress down. Remember, the basics matter! But if we want to do a little something extra, we can add some herbal support to our daily routine and this can really help keep things humming along. Some of the most common liver supporting herbs are: Turmeric Milk Thistle Artichoke Leaf Chlorella Parsley Cilantro Burdock Root Chicory Dandelion I am a big fan of all of these herbs and while they each can help a lot on their own, when combined together, they become a liver support powerhouse. That is why I love the Perfect Liver Detox Support supplement from Perfect Supplements. It blends quite a few of those amazing herbs into one single supplement (find it here: https://www.deliciousobsessions.com/PS-Liver-Detox).

Just like how bodybuilders can make their pectoral or chest muscles bounce up and down, you can do it with your pelvic muscles.

The pelvic muscles are not only the motor of ejaculation – meaning they are responsible for propelling the semen from the penis – but they also play an interesting role in preventing ejaculation Prevent Premature Ejaculation With Pelvic Muscles David Mandell Jan 19, 2017 by David Mandell 5 Min Read 8.8k SHARES Share Pin It Tweet Do kegel exercises on a regular basis as the stronger the pelvic muscles, the better the chance of controlling your ejaculation. Strengthen your pelvic muscles and bring them under your control. During intercourse, being able to contract your pelvic muscles 10 times will help you reign in the urge to ejaculate sooner than you want. One of the most rewarding aspects of creating a men’s health product is hearing from our customers. Over the course of the last year, I’ve personally had the pleasure of talking directly to hundreds of men who’ve had life-changing experiences from using The Private Gym pelvic muscle exercise program. I’ve also talked with many men who weren’t satisfied with the results and worked closely with them to troubleshoot the problems. Let me tell you about an African American male in his mid-40s. He purchased the Private Gym to keep his sexual performance from deteriorating. After receiving the program, he started interacting with me. “Since I can’t see them, how do I know if I’m actually exercising the right muscles?” he said. This is one of the most common questions we get from men. ADVERTISEMENT “I feel like I am clenching my butt muscles?” he said to me. I explained to him that he needed to focus on the muscles that he uses to stop himself from urinating. I wasn’t sure he completely understood which ones I was talking about. Let’s try another approach. “You know how you can make your penis move up and down when it is really hard?” I said. He knew exactly what I was talking about. “I used to be able to do that,” he said laughing. “You’ll soon be able to do it again,” I responded. “Those are the right muscles. They control your penis.” In half an hour, we covered a lot of subjects – from how to get the most out of the program to what it was like being over 40 and seeing changes in our bodies. He didn’t have a problem; he simply wanted to rejuvenate his erections. Over the past several weeks, he’s checked in with me, each time telling me how well the program is working for him. “I woke up with an erection this morning!” He texted me. “That hasn’t happened in years.” “Great!” I responded. “It means you are doing it correctly.” ADVERTISEMENT What To Do With Your Pelvic Muscles Waking up with an erection is one of the most common bio-feedback responses that most men experience when starting The Private Gym program. He soon started the resistance training portion of the program. While his erections were much harder, he wasn’t seeing great improvement in his ability to last longer during sex. “Now that you’ve strengthened your pelvic muscles, it is time to use them!” I said enthusiastically. He paused. “What do you mean use them?” It then dawned on me. Most men don’t even know that they have pelvic muscles. Why should they know what to do with them once they’ve strengthened them and have the ability to control them? One of the most remarkable aspects of strengthening your pelvic floor is this – gaining control. Control over an area of the body that for so long has been totally out of your control! Think about it: how often in life has your penis done what you wanted it to do, when you wanted it to do it? It’s like finding a talking dog. Of course, it never talks in front of anyone – only to you. The penis is often similar. It goes up, it goes down, almost always at the wrong times. But when you strengthen the pelvic muscles, remarkably, you begin to get control over your penis. Just like how bodybuilders can make their pectoral or chest muscles bounce up and down, you can do it with your pelvic muscles. But why is this important? When your pelvic muscles are strong, you can contract them, force more blood into your penis, keep it in longer, and create the rock-hard erection that so easily came to us when we were in our teenage years. How’s that for an answer? ADVERTISEMENT How To Delay Ejaculation Now that you can control your pelvic muscles by contracting them during sex, you can “short-circuit” the ejaculation response. The pelvic muscles are not only the motor of ejaculation – meaning they are responsible for propelling the semen from the penis – but they also play an interesting role in preventing ejaculation. Strong, hard pelvic muscle contractions can help stop the urge to ejaculate. The stronger they are, the more forceful the contraction. Basically, you’re using your newly strengthened pelvic muscles to override Mother Nature, whose intention is to have you ejaculate as quickly as possible. How To Stop Premature Ejaculation Given here are a few tips to do just that: Properly strengthen your pelvic muscles. The stronger the pelvic muscles, the more effective they will be in short-circuiting the ejaculation response. During sex, when you begin to feel the urge to ejaculate, slow down and stop thrusting. Contract your pelvic muscles 5–10 times. Squeeze them hard and hold the contraction for 2–3 seconds. The ejaculation feeling should subside. Continue thrusting. When the urge to ejaculate occurs again, stop and contract your pelvic muscles again. David Mandell David Mandell EXPERT

What Are the Benefits of Eating Healthy Vs. Unhealthy? Fruits and vegetables improve your health. At least 2.7 million people around the world die each year as a result of not getting enough fruits and vegetables in their diets, according to the World Health Organization. Eating a healthy diet instead of an unhealthy diet can help you get all the essential nutrients you need and limit your risk for a number of health conditions. Healthy vs. Unhealthy Diets Healthy diets are made up mainly of nutrient-rich foods, such as legumes, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean protein and nuts and seeds. Unhealthy diets are high in fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and added sugars. These diets often contain a lot of processed or fast foods that are high in calories but don't contain many nutrients. People following a healthy diet watch their portion sizes so they maintain a healthy weight, since both the quantity and the quality of the food you eat is important for a healthy diet. Nutrient Intake If you eat healthy, you are more likely to get enough of the nutrients, like fiber, calcium, vitamin D and potassium, which many Americans don't consume in sufficient amounts. Whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts provide fiber; low-fat diary products and green leafy vegetables provide calcium; fruits and vegetables like bananas, apricots, strawberries, avocado and cucumber are good sources of potassium; and fish, eggs and fortified milk and orange juice contain vitamin D. Disease Risk Up to 40 percent of cancers may be due, in part, to following an unhealthy diet, according to BreastCancer.org. Unhealthy diets also increase your risk for Type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 2.6 million deaths each year are due to obesity-related illnesses. Considerations Planning your meals ahead of time and allowing yourself a small portion of a less-than-healthy treat once in a while can help you stick to a healthy diet. Following a healthy diet isn't the only thing that matters -- you also need to make healthy lifestyle changes to minimize your disease risk. Exercise regularly, stop smoking and drink only in moderation, if at all.
