“Food carries information molecules, instructions, and code that programs your biology with every bite for better or worse. Industrial food drives inflammation, triggers oxidative stress, promotes imbalances in hormone and brain chemistry, overloads your detoxification system, depletes your energy, damages your microbiome, and changes your gene expression to turn on disease-causing genes.
Real, whole nutrient and phytonutrient-rich food does the opposite—turns off inflammation, increases antioxidant systems, balances hormones and brain chemistry, boosts detoxification, increases energy, optimizes your microbiome, and turns on disease-preventing, health-promoting genes.
Food impacts all these core systems or networks in the body.” - @drmarkhyman
This includes your skin. When we eat foods that don’t digest well, it knocks our body off balance, which can immediately result in inflammatory responses like acne, red skin, and potentially rosacea if done repeatedly. When eating for your best skin possible, it’s best to stick with real, unprocessed foods. Go organic; just do it. If you eat anything packaged, a good rule of thumb is 5 ingredients or less. If you can’t pronounce it, try to avoid it!
