Skin Nutrition Lifestyle Programme

Skin Nutrition is passionate about age-reversal and to achieve maximize results we have developed a total body-beauty/wellness concept encompassing our Essential Anti-Oxidant Face range of products that will consistently and effectively fight wrinkle causing inflammation, our Advanced Peptide Therapy Facial range with remarkable wrinkle reduction and resurfacing properties, our Body Beautiful Body range containing active ingredients with potent restorative properties, and our Body Beautiful Nutrition range designed to optimally support cellular nutrition to promote beautiful skin, hair and nails, as well as a beautiful, lean, shapely figure.

Our goal at Skin Nutrition is to take 10 years off your looks and while our skin care products and supplements will go a long way to achieve this goal, diet will also have an important role to play.

Your diet can significantly contribute to pre-mature ageing and excess wrinkling by creating cellular inflammation. High glycemic foods, (foods that easily convert to glucose in your body) are the main culprits and should be eliminated or cut down significantly. To prevent the cause of cellular inflammation we recommend an anti-inflammatory diet that is rich in nutrients, anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, and low in high glycemic foods.

Every meal should contain 3 very important nutrients:

• Protein
• Low-glycemic carbohydrates
• Essential fats

An example of the ideal daily diet should look something like this:

Breakfast
2 boiled or poached eggs, 1 portion of sweet melon or serving of berries or apple, and small bowl of oats with no sugar. The apple can be grated in the oats for flavour. Use skim milk or soy milk if desired. Cup of green tea. No fruit juice. Take 2-3 High-quality fish oil or Flaxseed oil capsules, and 2 Skin Nutrition Beautiful Body Complex capsules. If in a hurry, a Skin Nutrition Omega 3 Shake can be substituted for breakfast. To make it extra filling add a cup of oats to it in the blender.

10:00am Snack
Skin Nutrition Omega 3 Shake or Skin Nutrition Omega 3 Bar and a handful of raw almonds. Take 2 DMAE capsules.

Lunch
Skinless steamed chicken breast with brown rice or lentils and steamed veggies or salad with avocado.
Or
Tuna (in water) with avocado, sliced pineapple, may also be mixed
with fat free cottage cheese, and any amount of any of the following:
Tomato
Lettuce
Onions
Cucumber

You may dribble extra virgin olive oil over this.

Glass of water

3:00pm Snack
Skin Nutrition Omega 3 Bar or nonfat yoghurt, raw almonds, and 1 apple or portion of sweet melon or berries. Take 2 Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules and 2 Vitamin C Ester capsules.

Dinner
Lean meat, chicken breast fillet, or fish, deep green leafy salad with avocado and or steamed veggies.

Dribble extra virgin olive oil over the salad/veggies with dribbled extra virgin olive oil.

Glass of water

Evening snack
An apple or pear, and a palm full of raw almonds.

*Remember; the above is just an example of what should be eaten on a daily basis. Do not stick to the same foods daily as this will lead to diet boredom, which in turn could lead to eating the wrong foods. Add as much variety as possible! Eat five small meals a day as per the above example.

Exercise
Exercise is vital for good health and plays a very important part of our age-reversal philosophy. Exercise of almost any kind has an anti-inflammatory effect on our cells, improves blood flow and nutrient and oxygen distribution to our cells, improves mood, increases energy, and reduces stress.

There are two types of exercise we recommend: cardiovascular and muscle strengthening. Cardiovascular exercise includes walking, bicycling, running, or swimming.

Cardiovascular exercise raises your heart rate, increases blood circulation, improves nutrient absorption by the cells, increases oxygen utilization, and oxygen is the basis of all energy production. Higher energy levels allow the cells to repair themselves faster. Cardiovascular exercise also raises your metabolism which in turn burns fat and converts food to energy quicker.

Muscle strengthening exercise or resistance training increases strength, muscle mass, which will improve metabolization of blood sugar quicker and low sugar levels prevents inflammation. It can also improve bone density and bone density can decrease with age, especially with postmenopausal women who are prone to osteoporosis. It also improves blood flow and cell nutrient absorption, increases growth hormone production while reducing stress and lowers levels of a destructive hormone called cortisol, which is detrimental for age-reversal. For the skin, this also means increased cell growth and repair as well as improved collagen production.
