If you add a lemon slice to your water, all it does is kill bad bacteria in the water and freshen your breath. Not neccesarily super good for you.
Don't take Centrum...there was a study done in New York sewers and they found millions of centrum pills just lying around! Turns out, your body can't break down most multi-vitamins in pill form, so they just...well you get the picture! So eat food that contains vitamins to get em for real!
Also, I heard refined (or man made) sugar is absolute poison to the brain. Kills your little cells! So watch it!

I strongly agree to what you said! ...well cause that's true.
I have tried to explain to some people in person about taking multi-vitamins in pill form is kind of meaningless and helpless for their health, but they wouldn't believe me. It's good to know there's someone out there who knows the fact about those vitamin pills.
I also learned that most food that's darker(not refined) is always better for your body, such as sugar(like you said), bread, rice, etc...

Dr. Perricone has a whole diet in one of his books and if you want your skin to look like a million bucks, it works. I however do not want to eat salmon for breakfast and I'm just not the dieting type so I can't even consider such things.
He has a lot of rules and a lot of "do not eats," I can't remember them all. I know he says to absolutely stay away from caffiene, eat lots of salmon, drink a bunch of green tea and other foods high in antioxidants such as strawberries and blueberries. I remember it said something about not eating pineapple and mango and I was outraged! Hah. He also says to stay away from refined sugars and other terrible things I can't do.
When I worked at nordstrom and we first got a Perricone counter, we had a training workshop early in the morning and they told us not to worry about breakfast, they would be serving it to us. We showed up and all they had for us was strawberries. Just plain ol' strawberries and water! I was so irritated. I went and got a coffee drink and a sugary pastry right after, take that Perricone!
Anyway, I haven't read the whole book, I should barrow it from my best friend that worked for the counter. I am sure he makes plenty of points that are easier to follow than salmon for breakfast. Plus his skincare products are practically the fountain of youth.
I personally drink plenty of water, limit myself to one or two sodas a week and well yea other than that I eat all kinds of bad stuff
I do think water is key though.
I'll try to remember to borrow the book tonight and I'll share more of what I read.

Is your Dr. P's friends name Scott, Bernadette??? He was our counter guy at Horton Plaza but now he's gone
I really disagree with Dr. Perricone's ideas, too. I think that all fruits and vegatables are good for you, dude! Plus, anyone who are good friends with Oprah and Dr. Phil are instantly insane to me.
There is a book out there called the Blood Type Diet or something that's kind of interesting. It talks about each blood type and what kind of foods are best absorbed by each type. It says that certain blood types all used to exist together in communties back in the stoneage-ish times, some communities in forests where berries and fish were plentiful, and some by fields where grain and meat from animals were what they ate. The book says even after "evolution", our blood is still used to absorbing what our ancestors ate. Or something.
Speaking of food, it's an interesting read. So is the song "LARD" by the Dead Kennedys. LOL.

My friend's name is Aja. She quit hmm about two years ago this time of year. I still have Perricone stuff left though
I think pretty much everyone I worked with there is gone. There might be a few girls from MAC still there.
Anyway, I agree with you, I don't see how certain fruits and veggies can be "bad." I still can't imagne who would be able to stomach eating salmon for breakfast, lunch and dinner, gross.
I think my Mom has that book about the blood type diets, pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure it told me I couldn't eat lots of my favorite foods and so I disregarded it. I'm waiting for the book that tells me to eat donuts and cake in order to look great!
I just can't do the diet thing. If anything, when I stray I feel way worse about myself. I try to just be sensible with what I eat and hope that's enough :shrug:
Don't mind the random smilies, I'm totally amused by them, this is my current favorite :hump: .

I strongly believe what you eat/drink build your body, and your diet routine along with exercising affects your health condition sooner or later. When I see women who have beautiful skin/hair/nails, I always want to ask them what they eat/drink for their skin if they think it matters, besides what skin&bodycare products they use. I'm not currently having any trouble with my skin though I always drink fresh Aloe Vera Juice, and I really like how highly nutritious it is.
Do you watch what you eat/drink especially for your skin?
Are there any good food/drinks you regularly have so you can keep your skin look flawless? Would you mind sharing your secrets?
In all honesty, increasing your consumption of plants is the single greatest thing you can do diet-wise to boost your skin's health.
Also, from personal experience, I've noticed my skin's health flourish with daily consumption of healthy unsaturated fats (i.e. olive oil over greek yogurt).

Curious why you keep bumping up/responding to 10+ year old threads, GS. Most, if not all, the thread starters are long gone.
