Natural Therapies - Feeding Your Skin From The Inside

“Taking care of your skin is more important than covering it up”

Nicole Valek

We all know that we are what we eat.  

Our skin needs the following nutrients to function:

• Water,
• Fibre,
• Vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, B12, C
• Bioflavonoids,
• Biotin,
• C,
• Essential Fatty Acids,
• Folic Acid,
• Zinc

are essential for it’s daily function.

And then there’s the amino acids required for collagen production—proline, lycine and glycine.

So you can see why they say eating a clean healthy diet is important for looking and feeling good —let’s face it, if your skin is looking good, you do feel better within yourself and you don’t have to wear cosmetics that then end up blocking your pores and not allowing your skin to breathe.

If you or your loved ones have skin issues, and are struggling to eat healthy, or you are eating healthily and there is no change, I highly recommend the Cronometer app where you can track your meals, add your favourite recipes, and when you decide to see a naturopath or nutritionist, you can share your information with them so they can see what macronutrients are missing in your diet. From there, they will help you formulate a plan to give you optimal health.

This is a service I offer, and I work within my clients food budget so don’t panic into thinking it’s unaffordable… In the scheme of things it’s cheaper than doctors, specialists and prescriptions. If you’re not near me, I consult via Zoom.
