You are what you eat.......

I love to eat food. I am all about healthy foods, organic foods and exotic dishes. The value of maintaining a healthy diet is showing its health benefits as I get older. Alot of people seem to struggle with their diet and this problem as inspired me to think about my diet, so here are some of Tandie's favorite foods.

Raw vegetable juice does wonders for healthy skin. There's something about daily juicing that just brings out the most radiant, youthful-looking skin in people.

 Live foods, of course, support living, vibrant skin. Dead foods cause skin to age rapidly, and eating fried foods or animal products may cause your skin to break out with acne, eczema or various rashes. Consuming raw vegetable juice on a daily basis is a powerful way to support healthy skin. You'll notice the different in 30 days or less!

I love chocolate, expecially dark chocolate. I eat it in moderation but dark chocolate is far healthier than most people think.
Zinc is an essential nutrient for skin repair and injury repair (it's also really important for prostate health). If you're deficient in zinc (and probably 70% or more of Americans are), your skin will never look as good as it could. Zinc gives your cells the ability to properly construct and maintain their physical integrity, and it speeds the regeneration of new skin following injuries such as scrapes, scratches or cuts.


Shellfish and pumpkin seeds are good natural sources of zinc. It can also be taken as a nutritional supplement.If you do not like chocolate, maybe some candy covered cocoa beans would give you the same zinc suppliment.
