Paleo Diet for Beautiful Skin

In this fast paced and mechanical world where everyone is busy and always on the move, people generally tend to forget to take care of themselves. Everyone yearns to have clear and spotless skin, which has become rather difficult to have and even more difficult to maintain, especially with recent food habits. We often hear people say, “You are what you eat”! The paleo diet is a revolutionary solution that has come a long way in helping people to achieve not only their health and fitness goals, but also their desire to have clear and flawless skin. The paleo diet is based on the principles of tracking back to how we eat and making better food choices. People refer to it as a primal diet as it boosts energy and guarantees weight control. Another great attribute of the paleo diet is that, it includes food and drinks that help to alleviate skin care issues such as acne and blemishes.

Beautiful Skin Paleo Diet


When it comes to skin care problems, acne is the single most prominent problem faced by majority of people. Researchers have concluded that some of the predominant sources of acne are food allergies, intestinal imbalance, insulin resistance and hormone imbalance. All of the above-mentioned causes can be overcome by altering our food habits; and this is exactly what the paleo diet does. Also, studies and researches have shown that acne is caused due to inflammation. The objective of paleo dieting is to reduce the inflammation levels in the body. By avoiding processed foods and foods that are fried or high in sugar content, acne can be easily overcome.

Paleo diet focuses on consuming foods such as herbs, grass-fed meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, healthy oils etc. These are typically the foods that humans were biologically meant to eat. Herbs consist of some of the strongest antioxidants and thus, their extensive use as natural remedies. Herbs such as basil, burdock root, mint, cilantro and oregano are rich in iron, calcium and vitamins, which help to promote the functioning of the immune system. Fresh vegetables and greens provide several cleansing benefits and thus contribute towards alleviating breakout problems. Nuts such as almonds, walnuts and cashews are a great source of protein and a good snack option. Consuming these nuts instead of oily snacks and crackers helps to avoid skin issues. Fresh fruits are a vital part of the paleo diet. Fruits such as apples and berries help to cleanse the liver and bowels; and function as a good detoxifying agent for the body. Fresh grass fed meats and fish offer rich nutrients as opposed to starch rich pastas and potatoes. They are rich in protein, Omega 3 fatty acids and amino acids that help to build strong muscles and promote the health of the cardiovascular system.

The paleo diet also advocates consuming plenty of liquids such as water, hot green tea, fruit smoothies etc. as they help to cleanse the entire digestive system. The paleo diet focuses on going back to the way the human body was biologically designed to eat. It incorporates various types of foods that offer not only health benefits, but also contribute to a healthy, clear and flawless skin!

    I eat Lean meats, green veggies, some fruit, some nuts and seeds.
    I've been holding onto weight for a while so I think the Paleo diet will definitely help with that. I've also had digestive problems (like excessive gas) and that has already gone away.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
