Sun Tea, Water and Skin
The
best way to have healthy, glowing skin is to start from the inside out.
Eliminating caffeine in the form of coffee and soda is one way to
start. Caffeine dehydrates the body and skin. And lack of moisture is a
sure way to create lines and wrinkles. It’s also a diuretic, causing
increased urine output, again depleting your body and skin of the
moisture it needs. We try to combat this with moisturizers, but the
better way is to put the moisture INTO your body, not on it.
Drinking
pure water, unprocessed fruit juices or coconut milk will give your
body and skin the hydration it needs. The colors in fruit juices are
the colors of the earth and these colors will reflect themselves in
warm and healthy skin tones.
The overall effects of caffeine
on your body will manifest themselves in your skin. Heavy caffeine
drinkers can experience osteoporosis, headaches, depression,
sleeplessness. These can all be reflected in your skin.
When you
replace colas, coffee and teas made with boiling water with water,
fruit juices “sun tea” and coconut milk, you’ll soon start to feel
better and sleep better. Your skin will reflect the good health of all
the organs and cells of your body, once you’ve kicked the caffeine
habit.
Another reason for drinking pure water, juices and “sun
tea” is that when you boil water, you’re releasing oxygen from it. When
the body rids itself of toxins, it passes through the skin which is the
largest elimination organ. Raw food increases your detoxification rate.
Drinking water helps the body rid itself of toxins. Seaweed is high in
vitamins and minerals beneficial to the skin and also helps rid the
body of toxins.
To achieve a healthy complexion, drink plenty of
water and eat plenty of raw food. What goes into your body is
reflective in your overall appearance...
