Objectives
• Skin anatomy
• Skin health
• Whole body health
• Solutions
Our skin anatomy
• Called the largest organ
• Layers • Top layer of the
epidermis – dead skin cells
• Basal layer – bottom layer of epidermis – where new skin cells are generated
• Skin is a living organ
• Skin care really begins in the inside
• Skin is nourished by food and damaged by toxins
• Skin health is a reflection of how nutrients are absorbed & wastes are being removed
Dermis – dermal layer
• All cells living • Blood vessels, sweat
glands, elastin fibers, collagen, lymphatics
• Nutrition – due to blood supply here
Dermis
• Age spots, blemishes and deeper wrinkles occur here
• Healthy conditions = internal organs eliminate waste
• Unhealthy conditions = wastes back up into the blood system
• Wastes end up in the skin - a living organ
Acne
• Accumulated waste in the sebaceous gland
Acne
• Protection of organs from wastes
• Mostly a reflection of bacteria, protein and animal fat in the body
• Inflammatory
• Help - with good diet
How skin is damaged
• Poor diet (coffee, black tea, nutrient deficient food, sugar)
• Smoking • Too much sun exposure • Soaps & other items that change the pH of
skins outer layer • = Oxidation – free radicals: cause DNA
damage, breakdown of collagen & decreased collagen formation
GI & your skin
• Absorption = nutrition
• Accumulation of wastes in GI = decreased nutrition absorption for all organs
• You are what you eat!!
Food for skin health
• fruit : raw, fresh juices, smoothies, poached fruit• veggies: raw, fresh juices, soups (no oil/fat),
grilled (without oil), steamed, boiled, frozen• beans & legumes: soaked overnight, simmered
on stove, slow cooker, sprouted• seeds: flax is best, raw & ground just before
using, soaked overnight an add to drink • wild whole grains: stove cooked or steamer
Power of fruits & veggies
• Serve as antioxidants• Enhance immune response• Enhance cell-to-cell communication• Convert to vitamin A (beta-carotene is
metabolized to vitamin A)• Cause cancer cells to die (apoptosis)• Repair DNA damage caused by smoking and
other toxic exposures• Detoxify carcinogens through the activation of
the cytocrome P450 and phase II enzyme systems
Nutrition & Wellness?
• Modern medicine tells us to accept ailments as inevitable symptoms that afflict an aging population, yet fail to tell us that these are the result of our diet.
Whole food
• "Foods are so complex, offering not only vitamins and minerals, but fiber, nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), phytochemicals, and a whole host of nutritious substances that science has not fully identified that work together with other foods and provide the benefits of a healthy eating pattern."
Peaches
• Vitamin C & A • Anemia• Digestion,
constipation and detoxifying
• Kidney stones• Skin & complexion
Cabbage• treatment of constipation,
stomach ulcers, headache, excess weight, skin disorders, eczema, jaundice, scurvy, rheumatism, arthritis, gout, eye disorders, heart diseases, ageing, and Alzheimer's disease.
• good detoxifier, rich in iodine,
Spinach • Strengthens muscles • Cardiovascular support • Bone strength • Anti-cancer• Skin protection • Green pigmentation helps
with UV ray damage
Pineapple• Protect against cancer• Break up blood clots• Heart benefits • Helps the kidneys
remove toxins from the body
• Inflammation fighter
HARD TO DO!!
Research• University of South Carolina • Jin et al. Molecular Nutrition
& Food Research 2010. • Double blind placebo
controlled study • 117 people • 60 day study • 3 groups: • placebo• Fruits/veggies• Fruits/veggies/vineyard
Results:
• JP significantly increased anti-oxidant levels in the blood (Vit C, Vit E & beta-carotene)
• JP increased levels of super oxide dismutase (anti-oxidant)
• JP significantly decreased markers of inflammation in the blood
FASEB Journal – Abstract
• Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
• Double blind placebo controlled
• 52 females (age 40-65)• One group fruits/veggie
capsules• Other group placebo• Measured at 6 & 12 weeks
Results:
• Significant improvement in skin microcirculation by 36%
• Significant improvement of the skin thickness by 6% and skin density by 17%
• Significant increase of skin hydration by 9%
