I truly believe that damn near anything can be fixed with food. Even adult acne. Recently my skin has been breaking out. Am I alone? I blame the usual suspects. Stress, hormones and.. if I’m being honest, my sugar battle rages on. I want that sweet stuff! After all, ice cream in the tub may as well count as sex in these dark times of social distancing. I am human. I have needs. However, my skin has spoken up to let me know it needs me to dial it back on the chocolate chip cookie dough and crowd it out with nutrient dense treats. A solution I can manage and enjoy. My top picks? Mango and blueberries. They help regulate my hormones while pleasing my insatiable sweet tooth. Avocado for it’s world of antioxidants like B-carotene, lecithin, and linoleic acid that helps moisturize from within. Kimchi (my go to fermented food) has stellar amounts of omega 3’s and vitamin A, boosting hydration, preventing acne and staving off the aging process.. so I don’t look like a 900 year old teenager when it’s time to emerge from my apartment. You can save yourself some much needed cash right now by skipping the many topical skincare products that promise rejuvenation by just switching up what you eat. Killing two birds with one stone and saving face at the same time.
Day 104: Avocado, kimchi, mango, bloobs, sunflower sprouts, Briggs amino’s and seeds (chia, hemp hearts, sunflower and pepitas.
