Beauty is an inside job!

If you all don’t know by now, we're really into the connection that yeast overgrowth has to the disease process. As we've said before, antibiotics kill the good bacteria in the gut and thus causes yeast overgrowth. Yeast in the body when fueled by sugar causes inflammation. And what are all those "itis’s" but inflammation. You know, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis...

So anyway, we saw Dr. Nicholas Perricone on the Oprah show. He’s the doctor to the stars and says that in 28 days you can look 10 years younger. According to Dr Perricone, the answer is in the fridge.

We don’t know the whole of his plan except to say that on the show he mentioned eating a balanced diet of protein, (good) carbs and (good) fats with each meal. Perricone's diet includes a "rainbow" of fruits and vegetables and the liberal use of herbs and spices, and shuns any foods browned or cooked at high temperatures. Eating a balanced diet of protein, carbs and fats does make sense, because it keeps your insulin from spiking.

He said, the reason that women sometimes look older, is that they do not have enough protein in their diet and too much inflammation in their bodies...thus a sagging look!!!

Is that another way of saying to much sugar! Remember everyone has yeast in their body. And with the overuse of antibiotics, and antibiotics in our meat, Yikes! Yeast overgrowth! Add to that the 140 pounds of sugar ea of us eat on average per year, and it’s a sure bet that it has a lot to do with how we look.

Lastly, he did mention, drinking lots of water and tea to keep the body lubricated. But in order to truly look and feel younger, you must preserve the entire body, not just the skin.

It just goes to show you that looking and feeling younger, really is an INSIDE JOB!
